Nha Trang City badminton movement develops through small-scale playgrounds

Although it is just a small-scale tournament, Nha Trang City badminton tournament for teenagers and children has been contributing positively to develop the city’s badminton movement thanks to the regular organization.

 

 

The tournament is organized every two or three months by the funds contributed by the players and their parents. It originated from an internal tournament to check the quality of the athletes who are badminton learners at Nha Trang Sports Training and Competing Center. 

 

According to Tran Tung Han, Deputy Director of Nha Trang Center of Culture and Sports, the regular maintenance of this tournament has showed the interest of many people towards the city’s sports movement in general and badminton movement in particular. It has also helped the city to build up teams of young and competent players to take part in the provincial- and regional-level tournaments.

 

Reportedly, Nha Trang’s badminton movement has been evaluated by the professionals of the sports industry to have quite strong development, basing on the annual figures for the badminton clubs, clubs’ members and tournaments held in the city. At present, Nha Trang City has more than 25 badminton clubs with over 500 regular members. Every year, the city holds from two to three badminton tournaments for age groups, attended by 100 to 200 players.

Therefore, the fact that a city-level unit having maintained such playground has partly helped to promote the province’s sports.
