The strategy focuses on implementing badminton coaching clinics at teaching colleges and universities to improve physical education teachers' skills in badminton basics and umpiring. The first approach involves building partnerships with educational institutions, which includes researching potential partners and creating proposals that highlight the benefits of the clinics. For example, showing how the clinics can develop PE teachers into program leaders.
The second strategy is about developing a comprehensive coaching program. This involves outlining the curriculum that covers essential skills, designing engaging materials, and scheduling practical sessions. For instance, identifying experienced coaches to lead the sessions and organizing the necessary equipment are critical components.
Engaging Physical Education teachers effectively is another key strategy. This includes sending personalized invitations and promoting professional development benefits. Incentives like CPD credits encourage participation, while interactive sessions keep teachers engaged. Engaging these teachers can drive the program's success by incorporating feedback and facilitating networking opportunities.
