THE Badminton Association of Zimbabwe are hoping to successfully hold more seminars and training courses.
They successfully held their first Shuttle Time Teachers Course since 2018 at the Leonard Cheshire Disability Centre.
The event attracted 12 teachers from across the country and another three teachers from local schools.
It was graced by BAZ president, Chipo Zumburani, Shuttle Time National Coordinator Paul Kopolo and other BAZ board members.
In a statement BAZ said it was part of the vision of the Badminton World Federation to give every child a chance, to be involved, in the sport.
“BAZ strongly believes this is aligned to LCDC’s vision and, therefore, a good platform to form a partnership, and create more opportunities for children and youth with disabilities, to engage in physical activities, recreationally, as well as competitively.
“The delivery of the first Shuttle Time Teachers Course at LCDC was to educate more teachers, with the skills and knowledge, to deliver fun, safe, enjoyable and inclusive badminton sessions, to children.
“BAZ believes that increasing the number of well-trained teachers will lead to a more successful and sustainable project,’’ they stated.
LCDC executive director, Greaterman Chivandire, said they received a positive report, from participants.
“We received a very positive report from teachers, who were part of the first Shuttle Time Teachers Course, at LCDC.
‘’As an organisation, we are open to gestures that are meant to reach out and support people with disabilities.”
