Accra, April 12, GNA - Badminton experts from Mauritius are expected in the country to organize a ten day badminton coaching course for selected coaches across the country.

The Level One Coaching course is an initiative of the National Sports Council (NSC) and the Ghana Olympic Committee with funding from the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

According to information gathered by the GNA Sports, the course has been fixed for April 23 to May 3 at the C.K. Gyamfi Sports College, Winneba.

About twenty Badminton coaches drawn from all the ten regions of the country are expected to participate in the programme.
