Between the 19-29th April Badminton World Federation ran an Olympic Solidarity course in Lobatse, Botswana for the Botswana National Olympic Committee. I was asked to direct the course and over the ten days I was very impressed with the technical and pedagogical knowledge of the coaches.
The new sports complex in Lobatse had a brand new wooden floor hall and a great new national athletics/football stadium; a great location for the camp.
All involved with the Botswana Badminton Federation were well motivated and will progress the sport with the right support.
Keep an eye out of the Botswana Badminton Open later in the year in Lobatse.
