DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
SURVEY FOR THE 2004 DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM


In order to establish the appropriate development program covering for the PABC, we need the following basic information from each of the member countries:

    1. What programs do you have currently, if any
    2. Do you have an adequate infrastructure (i.e. national association, facilities, private clubs, etc)
    3. What support do you receive from government, private sector, and other sources
    4. What numbers of players do you have and at what level are they
    5. Do you have a national team which trains on a permanent basis or only when called up
    6. Do you have designated national coaches who work strictly through the national organization or through clubs
    7. What is your calendar for 2004 activities such as national and international tournaments, training clinics, etc
    8. Do have adequate badminton equipment and materials

The answers to these questions will serve to evaluate the level of badminton in each country and establish the appropriate level of support. Please submit your responses as soon as possible to the PABC office--.
