The San Diego Badminton Club offers coaching 'by appointment'. This is a free service provided to members only for 4 sessions. Our coaches work on a volunteer basis. We offer 4 sessions and after that it is between you and the coach in terms of arrangement for private lessons. Private lessons cannot take place during SDBC court time.
We use the Canadian Handbook, which has been adopted by the USA Badminton during the interim as they develop a program of their own.
Kyle Emerick, Phil Gonsalves and Joe Young coach , it is best to always check with them for meeting times and availability.
Generally Kyle meets on Tuesdays from 4:00 - 5:30 PM but check with him to start your program.
Phil arranges by appointment only with his students as does Joe.
Son Nguyen also has juniors he works with Tuesdays and Thursdays - this is his own program and not a club function so contact him on those evenings if you are in high school and want to do drills.
