August 16, 1996 (D.Shuttlenws) - Applications for the 1997 World
Badminton Academy are now being accepted by the International Badminton
Federation through their member national associations.

The World Badminton Academy is a two-week intensive training session
conducted annually by the badminton federation for high-potential national
coaches and players from developing and emerging badminton countries.

Top coaches from the world's leading badminton nations share their
training secrets with the participants in the academy.

This year's academy is currently underway at the German Olympic training
facility (Olympiastutzpunkt) in Saarbrucken, Germany with  10 coaches and
36 players from Central and South America, Africa and Europe participating.

Next year's academy is planned to be held in two centres, one for the
Asia-Pacific countries and a second for African, American and European
nations. The Asia-Pacific centre will be the Shanghai Badminton
Institute in China. The second centre is still to be selected by the
badminton federation.
