The Badminton Federation of Nigeria (BFN) in collaboration with the Adamawa State Sports activities Council, the Adamawa State Ministry of Schooling and the Adamawa State chapter of the Nigeria School Sport Federation (NSSF) not too long ago held a badminton coaching in Yola.
The occasion which was held on 24 and 25 September 2025 was attended by 20 Bodily Schooling academics and 80 secondary college college students within the Yola space of Adamawa State. The occasion was held on the corridor of Common Murtala Mohammed Faculty in Yola.
This badminton coaching which was facilitated by George Shitta and 4 different badminton coaches is geared toward introducing the sport of badminton to the grassroots stage.
It might be famous that the BFN and their grassroots companion, Neighborhood Sports activities and Academic Improvement (CSED) Initiative have previously three years held “Shuttle Time” and “Outreach Badminton Coaching” occasions throughout Nigeria with a view of utilizing these coaching occasions to offer academics and college students with distinctive alternatives to be taught a sport collectively and enhance their social expertise.
The academics and college students had been taught fundamental badminton expertise just like the grip, footwork, find out how to serve, versatile stance work, doing stroke, sport technique, in addition to find out how to heat up correctly earlier than beginning to play the sport of badminton.
The academics and their college students listened passionately to the directions of the 5 coaches, requested related questions, and made good use of the chance to virtually display a few of the information that they discovered from the coaches.
On the finish of the two-day coaching occasion, fundamental badminton kits (rackets, shuttlecocks and nets) had been freely distributed to the academics and college students of the collaborating colleges.
One of many exceptional facets of this coaching occasion was the attendance of the Director of the Adamawa State Sports activities Council, Mr Daniel Ahmed and the courtesy visits to Haj Aisha M. Umar (the Everlasting Secretary of the Adamawa State Ministry of Schooling) and Birsan Panuel (Government Secretary of the PPSMB) by George Shitta who’s the Director of Sports activities of the Taraba State Sports activities Fee. It’s a pointer to the very fact of what might be achieved in future if main stakeholders work collectively with a view to promote the educational and athletic capability of academics, grassroots coaches and college students in Adamawa State.
