Anchorage, Alaska

Worked with Anchorage School District and Anchorage Badminton Club over multiple trips to conduct P.E. teacher workshops and in-class student instructional sessions. When Health & Physical Education Director Melanie Sutton offered that BGV would come to any school for in-class presentations, 25 teachers responded within one hour! A simple call by BGV led to 2 teacher clinics, 14 school presentations — with as many or more to follow — and teacher renewal credit course.

A parent who was new to the sport, saw an eagerness in her daughter and her friends to improve their skills and play more … so she sought assistance from a willing teacher and the supportive program of Badminton Goes Viral. The teacher, having not previously taught badminton, was interested in outside teaching resources.
