Badminton England's Foundation Award and Coaching Certificate at Level 2 qualification provides essential theoretical knowledge, including safeguarding, basic technical principles, and session planning.

 

However, opportunities for structured, supported practical coaching within the qualification are limited.

GALA Academy bridges this gap through a practice-first, fully mentored, in-house training pathway. Trainee coaches apply theory immediately in a live academic environment, gaining confidence, competence, and real-world coaching skills.​​​
