With most tutors having badminton background and some being former internationals, the three-day programme which started on 21 May was completed seamlessly. A few months later, the first Teachers Course for 35 Physical Education teachers was conducted in Wonosobo City, Central Java on 9-10 August by female tutor Rista Sudian Karyanti.
President of the North Sumatra Badminton Association Suripno Ngadimin said of Shuttle Time: “We develop tutors to deliver badminton lessons in their area, to have more students play the sport and for our coaches to identify talented shuttlers.”
Hermawan added: “Indonesia is a badminton powerhouse and through this programme we want to keep unearthing new players from different areas of the country.”
