Badminton England

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

BADMINTON England is the governing body for the sport of badminton in England. It aims to govern, encourage and develop the sport for all throughout England.

Established as the Badminton Association of England in 1893, the association is based in Milton Keynes and has departments for Elite Play, Events, Membership, Development and Coaching. It closely liaises with the 41 Counties of England to provide support to the club and league structures.

The body was a founding member of the International Badminton Federation, since renamed to Badminton World Federation (BWF), which is the international governing body for the sport.

In 2006 Badminton England set up a joint venture with Inchima Limited to provide on-line coaching to its members. This service - called badminton.tv - represents the first time that a national badminton association provided media services to its members through the internet.
