Malacca: 45 children between the ages of six and ten years eagerly participated in a two-day end of year annual sponsored coaching clinic at the Malacca Badminton Association (MBA) Hall along Jalan Tengkera in keeping with the local association’s ‘catch ‘em very young’ policy.
However, MBA coaching and development committee chief coach Choy Ah Sang had reasons to lament. Despite ten girls and 35 boys participating, many primary schools particularly in the districts failed to respond.
