fit into the club well. Also we recommend that the parents
book courts outside the club hours and play with them and
help the children to learn to hit the shuttles. Parents are
welcome to watch the teaching session or ask the coach how
they can help their children so that they can help their
children effectively. Also at the beginning we recommend
