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 eligibility for this program
for the 2007-2008 season can obtained from here:
