 2010 SUMMER CAMP!
Badminton Victoria is very excited to offer a wide variety of summer camp opportunities this summer. Badminton summer camps are a great way for athletes who already play badminton to keep fit and pick up new skills during the summer, and it's also a GREAT way for athletes thinking about starting badminton to get a jump on the competition and start learning and improving!
If you are interested in any of the camps listed on the schedule, please don't hesitate to contact Jeremy at 250 881 1881, or better yet, email him at badminton@pacificsport.com. Looking forward to seeing YOU out on the court soon!

Mike Clark: This tournament will be hosted on March 27th in nanaimo, and will finish on the same day to allow all traveling players to return home the same day . The venue is still not guranteed, as there were several options i am just waiting for conformation on Wellington as that would be the best choice for proximity to food as well as amount of courts. Once the venue is finalized i will post the cost for each participant. The tournament is for junior players wishing to get a variety of play as we will try and ensure that all members get the most games possible. All entrys can be emailed to my email at m_mike12@hotmail.com, and if you wish to gain further information you can also contact my email or home at 250-758-3762, or CELL at 250-619-8432.

2009-SPRING:
The 2009 Canadian Junior National Championships were held in Edmonton, Alberta on May 4-9, and Victoria sent a strong and large contingent of athletes this year for the first time in a long time. Badminton Victoria was represented by eleven athletes from U14 all the way up to U23, and consisted of Ethan Lee, Candice Ip, Helen Ip, Robbie Thomas, Christopher Wan, Sylvia Wan, Emily Chung, Vivian Yan, Bryan Cassels, Riley Trottier, and Jeremy Côté. For most of us, it was an entirely new experience being at such a huge tournament in such a huge venue, and only having to play 2 matches a day! All the athletes performed admirably, with some notable finishes. Candice Ip performed extremely well, placed runner-up in U14 Girls Doubles with Eileen Wong and consolation winner in U14 Mixed Doubles with Haijun Liu. Sylvia Wan claimed the consolation winner title in U16 Girls Singles, and her and Emily Chung achieving consolation runner-up in U16 Girls Doubles. Coach Keith Anton was very happy with the play of all the athletes, and aside from losing his notebook on multiple occasions, he was mostly able to keep his sanity. Everyone who attended had an enjoyable time and are already looking forward to next year! Congratulations to all athletes!
Full results can be found on the Badminton Alberta website.
