Partners Badminton federation of Macedonia – Skopje
Within the framework of the massive sport, the Badminton federation of Macedonia – Skopje focuses on the children’s age of up to 13 years of age and up to 19 years of age. In this direction, for the second year in a row, they have conducted a project “Sport – a prerequisite for psycho-physical health through the popularization of badminton in primary and secondary schools”. The project is being conducted for 8 months in the current year in one Municipality of Skopje. In two years it has been carried out in two municipalities. The first year includes about 5,000 students from 8 schools in one municipality, and the second year 4,000 students from 8 schools in the other municipality. Through the project we conduct general psycho-physical tests of students, and follow the physical and psycho-motor parameters, the skirt over the basics of badminton (basic movements, basic strokes, etc.) and thus introduce them into our sport.
For teachers, coaches and staff we organize seminars and trained, and for the sheets that successfully join a seminar, the Federation provides a basic level certificate. At the end of the project, the municipality of the Federation is conducting a Municipal Badminton Tournament with participation of 8 best / athlete badmintonists from each school (64 participants in general) and the tournament continues for another year.
Since 3 years ago within the Club we included the category Veterans-amateurs, and for the second year we are also holding the National Championship for this category. So far, the Macedonian Badminton Federation has not participated in European projects but has working relations with the neighboring federations and clubs and is looking to extend its program and exchange good practices with other stakeholders.
