The 2014 team has been announced
Dear friends
The team for the WA Under 19s 2014 was announced recently.
The players are:
1. Ying Xiang Lin
2. Kai Chen Teoh
3. Titus Tan
4. Jasper Tan
5. Gavin Chung
6. Tyzton Tan
7. Bella Liu
8. Amanda Soh
9. Teagan Lawrence
10. Silvi Botha
All have played in State teams before except Amanda who just migrated from Malaysia. Good luck to her and I am sure she will learn lots from the tournament and the team experience.
We are still hoping for a couple more girl players.
Andrew Chai has been confirmed as the coach and Gillian as the manager.
Jazton, my eldest son did not managed to get into the team as he has not been training, instead concentrating on golf. He will have to contend with the individual events.
There is lots of hard work ahead.
I was unable to attend the first team training. I have to try and attend the next one to get some photos of the team for the blog.
I have managed to persuade a client of mine, Irwin Khoo of Aries Car Rental to be the naming rights sponsor.
Aries Car Rental is based on Adelaide Terrace. See http://www.ariescarrental.com.au/
The naming rights sponsorship funds goes towards BAWA's operational cost for the Under 19s tournament.
There will not be much need for fund raising this time as the comp is in Perth.
What a relief.
Till I get some photos, night.

The creation of the Under 19s Badminton Blog
Dear friends and readers,
I have just been informed through the grapevine that Andrew Chai has agreed to nominate to be the coach for the 2014 Under 19s WA Badminton state team.
Of course all this will have to be ratified by the BAWA board. There may be other nominees and it will be interesting to see who else nominates.
His wife Gillian has agreed to be the manageress. Again BAWA has to ratify the nomination.
We all need to be grateful that they have both stepped up to take the baton.
Hence, this is the first blog for the Under 19s team in honour of Andrew and Gillian in anticipation that their nominations will be accepted.
I have never been actually involved in the Under 19s team. My son Jazton was in the 2011 Under 19s team that went to Sydney. They returned with a bronze medal with the coaching of Nick Kidd.
The 2013 team also returned with a bronze medal under the coaching of Ryan Lin.
This year, the competition is taking part in WA.
The Under 19 National competition is one of the oldest national events on the Badminton Australian national calendar of events. Established in the 1960’s the competition provides valuable national tournament experience for Australia’s top under 19 badminton players.
Venue: Kingsway Indoor Stadium
Email: TBC
Dates: 5 - 12 July 2014
A bit about Andrew. He is badminton crazy and runs the Samson Victor Badminton club with Gillian. I have been playing at the club on Fridays for a few years.
My sons have nominated for the 2014 Under 19s team. The tryouts are on this Sunday. Good luck to both sons.
