Hampshire Badminton Association has a number of development centres around the county including the Westgate High Performance Badminton Centre in Winchester which opened in 2002. Over 150 young people, who have the talent, are being trained and coached to reach the highest level of competition. A number of young people have been identified by Badminton England and are now involved in the England set-up as a result of the Badminton Academy the centre supports.

The Centre also has a development role to play in participation and aims to increase this through a wider range of activity programmes, particularly during school holidays. There is still a lack of coaches, particularly progressing from Level 1 to Level 2 and this funding will be used to help bridge that gap and encourage more coaches to become qualified.

This project supports the corporate priority of maximising wellbeing and the sports strategy aims of developing young people, performance and excellence and active participation throughout life.

As this is a countywide organisation, no additional consultation has taken place with County Council members.
