This might be of interest to badminton enthusiasts in central NY/northern PA area... The Cornell Badminton Club has gotten Andy Chong and Radu Milevschi to come to Ithaca, NY for a coaching clinic on the weekend of Dec 3/4. The session on Saturday, Dec 3, from 10.30am to 6.30pm (with an hour's break for lunch) at Helen Newman Hall will focus on techniques, while the session on Sunday, Dec 4, from 10.30am to 1.30pm at Barton Hall, will focus on strategies. Andy and Radu will also entertain challenge matches from the participants on Saturday. Participation will be capped at 32, so that there is ample interaction with Andy or Radu for each participant. The fee is $50 ($40 for participants affiliated with Cornell), and will cover the coaches' fees and cost of shuttles. To register for the event, please email Sze Wei Ang at sa275@cornell.edu or Mike Hsu at jmh233@cornell.edu. I would be happy to entertain enquiries too, if you PM me. Here's the little snippet about Andy Chong that is on the brochure for the event: ANDY CHONG competed for Malaysia on their national team (1981-1987), representing them in the Thomas Cup (1984-86) as well as in the Asian Games and World Championships. Since coming to the US, he has also represented the United States on the National Team, the World Championship Team and the Thomas Cup team. Andy Chong and his assistant, Radu Milevschi, will provide small-group instruction on how to play badminton the way it should be played!
