Registered Coaches who want to be able to coach players during the YONEX U13/U17 Australian National Individual Championships 2024 held in Ballarat from September 28 - October 2, are required to submit a request for a Coach Accreditation prior to the event.

ONLY coaches who are registered coaches with Badminton Australia and have as a minimum successfully completed the BA Foundation Coaching Course (Online + Face-to-Face Component), are eligible for a Coach Accreditation allowing them to coach at the National Championships.

Coaches who are not registered with BA (you can register HERE, if you have a coach qualification but have not yet registered with BA), will not be approved for an accreditation and will not be allowed to coach during the event.

The above also applies to parents/guardians who wish to coach their own child(ren) during the event. They will need to have completed the Badminton Australia Foundation Course online component and be registered to recieve accreditation.

Reminder: As per 5.4 of the By Laws, For all U13 matches in the Team and Individual competition there is to be no court-side coaching during play. Coaching can only occur at the end of each game. (No coaching in between points and during the 11-point interval).

For any questions regarding this process, please do not hesitate to contact BA.
