    Greetings,

    Please respond if interested.

    Looking to form a group for our Coaching And Training Sessions (CATS).

    Venue: High Street Road, Glen Waverley, Victoria, Australia.

    Time: Every Wednesday 8:00pm-10:30pm.

    Level: For Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced Skills.

    Trainees Intake: Maximum of 16 trainees. Venue has 4 courts.

    Please respond to this thread so that CATS can start ASAP (estimated to start on Wednesday, 26-July-2006).

    If you do not wish to join the Forum @BadmintonCentral, you can email me direct chris@cccbadminton.com
    I will send you 3 ATTACHMENTS; namely the Address/Map of our Venue, the CATS Program and the Enrolment Form.

    ============
    CCC Badminton Club was formed in the hope that it will help more people to enjoy playing badminton.
    CCC Club has 2 objectives:
    1. To help those who are beginners to get to know the game quicker.
    2. To provide experienced players with a venue to train.

    FRIDAY CCC SOCIALS (max 32 players only) = Concentrate on Playing Games.
    The PLAYING OF GAMES is the only activity involved in this session.
    Link is http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32267
    WEDNESDAY CATS (max 16 trainees only) = Concentrate on Learning Skills & Perfecting Strokes.
    In this session, COACHING AND TRAINING are the main activities involved, with a few PRACTICE GAMES being played at the end of the session.

    COACHING is performed by Mr Chris Hoh who has over 20 years of badminton coaching experience, yet is innovative in his coaching techniques. You will receive invaluable information/instruction/demonstration of different SKILLS from him.
    Chris' coaching course is a structured program, with 20 chapters involved. And the Chapter of the Week is taught in a strict order of application. The session is conducted in a formal learning environment.

    TRAINING is performed by doing DRILLS (repetitious exercises) to perfect your strokes and footwork. You will be doing drills suggested by Chris, the best drills related to the Chapter of the Week.

    PLEASE NOTE: Chris does not provide Circuit (Physical) Training.
    Chris is only qualified for Badminton Coaching. He believes that for Circuit Training, e.g. steps, trunk curls, squat jumps, press-ups, pull-ups, squat thrusts, etc, it is better for you to employ a qualified gym instructor.

    WEDNESDAY CATS Session is conducted as follows:
    8:00 pm to 8:30 pm Warm-up Drills and Warm-up Footwork (Dancing)
    8:30 pm to 9:00pm Learning the Chapter of the Week
    9:00 pm to 9:30pm Practising the Chapter of the Week
    9:30 pm to 10:00pm Drills for the Chapter of the Week
    10:00pm to 10:30pm Playing Games using the Chapter of the Week

    Payment Structure
    A different fee structure (different from FRIDAY SOCIALS) will apply. The calculations will be based on Chris' professional coaching fees and the number of trainees. But it would be in the vicinity of $15 to $20 for the 2.5hr session.
    If there are 16 trainees it would be $15 per session. So far we have 8 interested, and if this is the final number, it would be $20 per session.

    BTW, Chris' coaching fees (as of 11-July-2006) for Private Coaching (1-on-1) is set at $30 per hour. This does not include court hire.
    ============

    Please respond to this thread so that CATS can start ASAP (estimated to start on Wednesday, 26-July-2006).

    If you do not wish to join the Forum @BadmintonCentral, you can email me direct chris@cccbadminton.com
    I will send you 3 ATTACHMENTS; namely the Address/Map of our Venue, the CATS Program and the Enrolment Form.

    PS: It is also suggested that if there are only 12 trainees enrolled in CATS, then we will use 3 courts for CATS and the remaining 1 court for parents/drivers to play SOCIAL GAMES.

    Cheers...chris@ccc

    Trainees are to have their courts for the full 2.5 hours

    Greetings,

    A question was asked by one of my trainees who is repeating the CCC Program of 20 Chapters.

    Question: If I am happy with my Overhead Clears (one of the chapters), and if the Chapter of the Week is on the Overhead Clears, can I do something else?

    Answer: If you are happy with your skills for the Chapter of the Week, you are welcomed to practise other skills during the session.

    You have your court for the full 2.5 hours and you can choose whatever practice you wish. However, you have to find another trainee who would be willing to be your practice/drill partner.

    But I always say “Don't just think of the stroke production in isolation”.

    You might be able to do a good Overhead Clear when the shuttle is being hit to where you are standing. But if you cannot do a good Overhead Clear when the shuttle is being hit to position away from you, then you have not mastered the Overhead Clear.

    So, what I am saying is “You must think of stroke production together with the necessary footwork involved”.

    However, if you can return a good Overhead Clear, whether a shot is hit to you as a Defensive Clear or an Attacking Clear and whether that shot is hit to a position away from you, then I don't see any reason why you have to go through that chapter again. If you have mastered the subject matter of the chapter, you are encouraged to practise your other strokes/skills.

    But don't fall into a trap, for example, of practising the Smash when we are doing the Overhead Clear, and then later practising the Overhead Clear when we are doing the Smash.

    Cheers... chris@ccc

    Parents are encouraged to participate in CATS as well

    Greetings,

    I received a suggestion that if I need to make up the numbers, a parent would like to be in CATS as well.

    Parents of trainees are most welcomed. In fact, my private customers will tell you about this.

    In my Private 1-on-1 Coaching for a younger child, I always ask the parents to participate as well. They pay me for the 2 hours($60) to coach. It does not matter if I am coaching 1, 2, 3 or 4 persons. I feel better when the information/instruction/demonstration of that session is received/acquired by more people. And it is not good for the parents to sit idly just to watch the coaching. The parents(most of them play Badminton too) might as well learn something new and get some exercise.

    Cheers... chris@ccc

    CATS to be $15 per trainee for a 2.5hr session

    Greetings,

    I have received several emails regarding our fee structure for CATS.

    It looks like our Wednesday CATS (Coaching And Training Session) could start with 8 trainees. Therefore CATS will take up 2 courts for the night, being 1 court for 4 trainees.

    I will make a bold decision. I will structure CATS to be $15 per trainee for a 2.5hr session.

    I will allow the other 2 courts for SOCIAL Badminton, charging $10 per player for the 2.5hr session.

    Cheers... chris@ccc
