The Georgia Badminton Federation organized their first Regional Project with the main goal of developing the existing badminton skills and sharing knowledge between the participating countries. The project was participated by Armenia and Georgia as Azerbaijan could unfortunately not take part due to some unforeseen circumstances. The one week project started on 13 July with 19 players and 3 coaches.

Both neighboring countries conducted joint trainings with the players and coaches to share mutual experiences. One of the highlights of the trainings was the video reviewing exercise. The players found this exercise very useful and the coaches were also glad that this exercise was included. This exercise appeared beneficial to all parties. To observe and to try the appropriate techniques from the videos raised the technical and tactical level of the players.



All in all the trainings went well and all the participants gave very positive feedbacks. The enthusiastic players were very motivated and keen on practicing to develop their technical skills and to improve their physical condition, making them easy to work with. Apart from the on court trainings, all the participants did some physical trainings outdoor as well.

During their free time, the participants had the opportunity to visit several cultural and historical heritage sights of Georgia. At the end of the Regional Project, participants headed home with new knowledge, experiences and friends.

On the completion of the Regional Project, the organizer stated, ´All the participants are grateful to be able to take part in the Regional Project and the Georgia Badminton Federation is grateful for the financial support of the project from Badminton Europe. This project has a lot of potential in Georgia and we believe that such similar development activities will benefit a lot of grass root level players in Georgia and our neighboring countries´.
