The Richard Vaughan Badminton Academy (RVBA) and Mid Glamorgan County Badminton Association have announced a partnership which will see the RVBA sessions become the High Performance centre for Mid Glamorgan Junior Badminton Association.

The current RVBA coaches will stay involved with the HP centre with the exception of Richard Vaughan who will move to his new position as CEO of Badminton Ireland with immediate effect. The high performance centre will benefit from a tie up with the Mid Glam senior team whom will supply any additional coaching services if required.
The Mid Glamorgan County team has won five consecutive division in the English County Badminton Championships and is looking to win this year’s division one and push in to the Premier division for the first time.
RVBA founder Richard Vaughan commented “The tie up with a very strong county badminton structure seems like the perfect remedy. The young players involved with the RVBA will have quality coaching ensured and these players will supply Mid Glamorgan County badminton team with the players for future success.”
