The first ever Camp for Players with a Physical Disability was held at the Rackets Club Lisburn from 30th July to 1st August. It was a very intensive 3 day Camp with Elite Coach Jens Eriksson from Sweden.

Also assisting Jens at camp were, Eugene Mc Veigh, Willie Mc Millan, Terry Conroy, Leslie Dewart and Scott Burnside. The Camp was a great success as players learnt a lot of new racket skills, court movement and tactics, also the camp had included in its time table a Nutrition session, Body Management and Video analysis, a total of 10 players had attended the camp.

• Laura Lee Jenkins. WC

• Niall Mc Veigh. RG
• Luke Irvine. RG

Players had requested that this would be an annual camp and we hope to encourage more players to attend future Camps

I would like to thank Badminton Ireland for there support with supplying shuttles and t-shirts.
