The 2016 BEC Summer School will take place in Podcetrtek, Slovenia from 9 – 16 July 2016. It is organized in close cooperation with the Slovenian Badminton Federation. This is the third time Slovenia is hosting the Summer School.

There will be a Shuttle Time Teacher´s course and a BWF Level 1 Coach Education course for the coaches. Coaches who successfully pass the course will be certificated as Shuttle Time Teachers and BWF Level 1 Coaches.

The one week Summer School was filled with different training programs for the players, coaches´ delivery sessions, discussions and not forgetting a team and individual tournament among the participants.

"Podcetrtek offers fantastic facilities for players and coaches for an activity like this. Last year we had a very good experience, so we are happy to go to Podcetrtek again for next year's BEC Summer School", says Jeroen van Dijk, Manager at Badminton Europe.
