Shuttlesport Elite badminton player and Guyana’s Sun Burst champion, Narayan Ramdhani, currently in Vancouver, Canada, on a badminton scholarship, recently attended the National Coaching Certification Programme (NCCP) Shuttle Time workshop at the Shuttlesport Badminton Academy in Port Coquitlam.
This workshop was to keep him in the development programme in his training methods. The first half of the workshop focused on how to perform specific badminton skills, classroom management and trying out the drills. The second half of the workshop was a practical session where each player taught the group using the lesson plans.
Each person had been randomly assigned a lesson of which Narayan did the Serve and Rally presentation.
The players who did the demonstrations were: Clarence Liu and Yolanda Chang (Clear with Scissor Jump); Zach Fan (Drop with Scissor Jump); Narayan Ramdhani and Jordan Beatty (Serve and Rally); Aaron Collette and David Luo (Midcourt drives); Negin Jafari and Daryl Yang (Backhand Lift); Mandinu DaSilva (Net and Lunge); and Thomas Wong (Grip Change and Footwork).
Alvin Lau of Badminton British Colombia conducted the course to the top players who were selected to attend. Ramdhani is also preparing for the 2017 Series of Championships, which starts in January.
