1. Do you want to help with badminton in a High School ? Are you a parent,
volunteer or a badminton fan who wants to see badminton develop at the
grass-roots level? Are you concerned about the costs of getting the required
certification to volunteer at High Schools?

USAB ( http://www.usabadminton.org ) will subsidize 50% or up to $150 of the
incurred cost to become "High School Badminton Volunteer Coach (VC)". The VC
must be a non-paid coach. This includes the ASEP course fees or other fees
required by the school district.

There are 5 sponsorships to be awarded for the 2007-2008 season.

Further details and elgibility for this program for the 2007-2008 season can
