PARAMARIBO — It’s all about developing and enjoying badminton during the course for teachers and future teachers that Jamaican trainer Richard Wong is teaching at Ring Sport Center this weekend. Classes started Friday.
The intention is to further introduce the sport of badminton through schools. “I expect enthusiastic teachers who like to follow the lessons. It is my third time here in Suriname and I am happy to share my knowledge with the Surinamese,” says Wong, who is certified by the World Badminton Federation.
The Shuttle Time Course is a badminton development program to teach teachers and future teachers basic knowledge and skills so that they can introduce their students to the sport of badminton.
