We had yet another spectacular tournament performance this past weekend at the 2013 Bintang Junior Open!

Here are the results:

I am proud to announce that we will have a new High School Program at our Burlingame location starting on September 15, 2013.  If you are an aspiring high school student who just joined your badminton team and would like to catapult your skills to tip-top competition level in preparation for the next badminton intramural season, this program is for you.  No prior training is required.  This program applies to athletes who wish to hone their skills after a long summer break just in time for tournaments.  This is a great way to supplement the training and experience you receive from your own high school’s badminton team.  This is an accelerated training program:

• sessions are two hours long
• sessions meet three times a week
• taught by Coach Arnold Setiadi and Coach Adrian Pan
• cost is $250 per month
• you must provide your own equipment
• special discounts on equipment available

The High School Program schedule can be found here.  Come by Bay Badminton Center, Burlingame, and sign-up today or call us at (650) 692-1611!

Please visit our Class Schedule as our schedule has changed for our Burlingame Academy.   This change will be effective September 1, 2013.  If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call us at (650) 692-1611.  Thank you.

I am pleased to announce that, starting on September 1, 2013, a new coach will be joining our BBTA Coaching Staff:  Coach Yee Tantiyavarong!  ”Coach Yee” has been a well-known coach here in the Bay Area for over a decade.  He also actively participates in National Tournaments till this day.

Welcome to the Academy, Coach Yee!
