Goal: Interview with Coach Singh
This season, goals are tailored to different grade levels. For Grade 6 and 7 players, the emphasis lies in grasping the basics of badminton along with familiarizing themselves with rules and regulations. Simultaneously, some have displayed notable skill levels, leading them to compete at an experienced level in Jamborees. Meanwhile, most Grade 8 players have been with the team for two years, positioning the goal towards preparation for varsity. The support from varsity players has been invaluable, offering middle schoolers role models to observe and draw inspiration from.
Beyond scores and medals, our athletes have exhibited exceptional character and resilience in the face of challenges. As we move forward, let’s carry the spirit of this remarkable season, cherishing the memories and deriving inspiration from the accomplishments. With unwavering confidence, we anticipate the challenges and triumphs that the forthcoming season will bring, fully believing that our athletes will continue to shatter boundaries and achieve even greater heights. Go, Chadwick!
