Shuttle Time
“Giving every child the chance to play badminton for life” is BWF´s Shuttle Time slogan. Shuttle Time is a school’s badminton programme supporting the principle that children should lead a healthy and active life, both in and out of school. BWF’s goal is to make badminton one of the world’s most popular and accessible school sports.
Shuttle Time is a programme for teachers, physical education staff and sports coaches around the world. It supports the teaching of enjoyable, safe and inclusive badminton activities. It is suitable for children aged 3-18 years old including those with a physical or intellectual disability. And it is designed to provide children with a positive image of sport and to have fun, to engage with others, to experience success and to develop fundamental sports skills.
