of DEVELOPMENT PERSONNEL – Updated 31st May 2008
BADMINTON England and the
Tees Valley County Sport Partnership have appointed a local Badminton
Development Officer.
Tees Valley Sport is a
partnership of local, regional and national agencies working to promote sports
development in the Tees Valley.
The five Local
Authorities are Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council, Hartlepool Borough,
Middlesbrough Council, Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council and Darlington
Borough Council.
The Tees Valley Badminton
Development Officer (TVBDO) will lead the development and co-ordination of
player and coach development activity within the five districts of Hartlepool,
Stockton, Middlesbrough, Redcar & Cleveland and Darlington.
The focus will be young people and the establishment of local player pathways
linking to county and regional governing body structures.
The main duties of the
TVBDO will be: -
1.
Work with local clubs,
schools, sports development teams and other appropriate agencies, for example,
Teesside Badminton Coaches Association, to develop an activity plan – players
and coaches.
2.
Work with the local
Badminton Development Committee, to produce a comprehensive Development Plan
for all levels of Badminton in the Tees Valley.
3.
Co-ordinate and
support the delivery of the plan across the five districts.
4.
Support clubs working
to achieve recognised accreditation standards – Silver Club/Clubmark.
5.
Ensure that all
relevant organisations, including clubs and schools, are fully aware of the
player and coach development opportunities across the Partnership.

The BDO is keen to hear
from any organisation that plays badminton, no matter what the standard of play
is. In order to update and maintain an effective development plan for Tees
Valley, we need to know what schools (all levels, in curriculum hours and out
of school hours), colleges, sports clubs, community clubs and youth clubs are
playing badminton.
If you can help, please
provide the BDO with any information available.
