The Pan Am pilot course, held in Peru in 2019, was the final course in the multi-region trial. The first of the pilot courses was held in Asia (Malaysia) and the second in Europe (Denmark), both in 2018. The nine Pan Am graduates represented Barbados, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Peru, and Suriname.
During the closing activity, the new Level 3 coaches shared how they have applied the course concepts to their practice, from their on-court work with players to the development of sustainable systems in their countries. There is no doubt that they are well prepared to advance the growth of badminton in the region and beyond.
