Negrense shuttlers
join badminton clinic

Babolat Philippines in partnership with Racket Plus-Bacolod recently conducted a free badminton clinic at Pohang Badminton Center, in Bacolod City.

National team coach Ronald Magnaye spearheaded the training of close to 130 shuttlers from all over Negros.   The one-day event started with an exhibition match pitting Bacolod's local talents, Christian Crisostomo and Alex Borromeo against Team Babolat's roster of players.

In the first half of the session, participants were taught the basics of badminton from gripping the racket to making the perfect swing.  In the afternoon session, the group was divided according to player's skill with each player individually supervised by Magnaye.
