After high demand for court space last year, a further two courts have been added to the badminton section that runs until August 27 at Dubai World Trade Centre.

In addition to the complimentary courts, coach education courses for levels one and two will be held from 19-23 June and 7-11 August respectively, along with the One Badminton Challenge and Friday Smashers Tournaments in June and July.

The Shuttle Time Dubai Club Championships also returns to pit clubs from across the UAE against each other. The first round of the five-week event will be held on Monday 1 August, with subsequent rounds held each Friday, before the Club Championships winners are decided in the Grand Finals on Friday, August 26.

“Our participation in Dubai Sports World is intended to encourage more people to enjoy badminton and to provide the opportunity for them to participate free of charge. It complements our current community and school programmes and offers a great opportunity for new players to come and try badminton,” said Jaffer Ebrahim, Shuttle Time Dubai project co-ordinator.

“DSW is also a great opportunity to bring together the UAE badminton community, to strengthen the clubs by training coaches and teachers, and to give the more experienced players the chance to test their skills against other clubs in the UAE in the Shuttle Time Dubai Club Championships.

“We will also be giving participants the chance to win tickets to see the world’s leading players contest the highlight of the professional calendar – the Dubai World Superseries Finals which will be held in Dubai for the third time from December 12-18 2016.”
