Focus
The Sydney Badminton Association’s main focus is to provide a structure that will facilitate the opportunity for players of all standards to play the sport of Badminton. The SBA offers a facility for clubs to register their clubs and players in the SBA so that they are able to play in inter-club competitions and individual Tournaments throughout the year. Affiliation with the SBA will also provide clubs and players total Public Liability Insurance cover which in the event of an accident will prevent players and Club Committees being liable for compensation.
The other main focus is to identify junior players and offer them the opportunity to train under qualified coaches and assist them in reaching their full potential. Junior players are the future of Badminton, we need to develop a stream of young competent players replacing players that are retiring from the sport.
