Annual Accreditation

Coach Accreditation

Step 1: Become a certified Badminton Coach in British Columbia (as per guidance on “Getting Started” page) by completing the requisite pathway for the event type you desire to access and having an active BBC membership; ensuring you meet the eligibility requirements specific to each event type (as per “Eligibility Matrix” page).

This applies to all coaches that may be coaching, or assisting a head coach, at a Junior A, Junior B, U23 and/or Senior Open series and/or provincial championship competitions.

Badges are ordered annually each summer before September
Remember to renew accreditation annually to receive updated badge for new seasons if you are a returning coach
Remember to pay annual membership fees as they are a requirement of annual accreditation
