Wales Badminton Academy
The Richard Vaughan Badminton Academy (RVBA) is a Cardiff based Badminton club, an idea of my first coach Don Griffiths and I, to help young Badminton players achieve their goals.
We share the same vision of helping young talent develop to produce British Badminton Olympians of the future to follow in my footsteps. I have had many successes as a professional Badminton player and there is no better feeling than passing on my Badminton knowledge and experience to young badminton players. The RVBA also doubles up as the Mid Glamorgan Junior High Performance centre, helping nurture young local talent from around the Mid Glamorgan area so they can develop along a pathway in to the full senior County Badminton team (currently in the English Inter County Championship - Division one).
I know what it takes to get to every level in Badminton. I look forward to helping you to get to that next level - so get your application forms into me ASAP.
Sincerely,

"I have know Richard a long time, since he was training with the national team in KL. He was always a very difficult opponent to play due to his strength and big smash. He also had great touch around the net and the combination of this along with the power was very difficult to handle. Young players in the UK would certainly be able to learn a lot from training with Richard."
Lee Chong Wei, World Number One
"I have had the pleasure of working with Richard for a long period of time over which I have been greatly impressed with his technical knowledge of the game, and I am confident in his endeavours in coaching."
Ian Wright, Head of Development, Badminton World Federation
"I have been the personal coach to Richard since he was 15, I have been impressed with not only how hard he has worked but also how despite having to do everything himself has managed to mold himself in to one of the best players in the world with only direction from a few coaches, I am pleased to have been one of them. I have seen him beat the best players in the world and I have no doubt he will be one of the best coaches as well, Wales is lucky to have him."
