Badminton Alberta is excited to present “Badminton Officiating 101 - An Introduction to Officiating the Game of Badminton.”
This introductory course is for those interested in learning the fundamentals of badminton officiating and beginning their pathway toward becoming a certified Provincial umpire. Instruction will be led by nationally certified umpire and provincial referee, Dale Jenkins, who will guide participants through the rules, procedures, and responsibilities of officiating badminton at a competitive level.
The course begins on July 3 with an in-class theory session, where participants will review and discuss BWF officiating procedures, documentation, and umpiring standards. Participants will then gain valuable on-court practical experience during the DrawMasters Cup tournament, taking place July 4–5 at Synergy Indoor Sports Centre.
