2. Any coach affiliated with Badminton Québec must provide proof of a criminal background check. If you coach for an RSEQ club, you are not required to complete a background check, as this responsibility falls to your educational institution. Background check link

     – Regional Coach – In Training for circuit stages.
     – Regional Coach – Trained for the Quebec Championships.

Process for Managing the Competition Coach Eligibility List

Badminton Québec will print the official list of eligible coaches every Tuesday prior to a tournament and will send it to organizing committees, head referees, and control table officials. If updates to a coach’s profile or eligibility are made after this date, the individual may not appear on the printed list. In such cases, please contact us promptly so we can process the updates. If your profile is complete, we will update the list and inform the organizing committee and the head referee so that a manual addition can be made.

PROCEDURES FOR OBTAINING YOUR COACHING badge for a tournament

Two types of official coach badges will be provided (to keep):

• All-access badge: for anyone holding at minimum the Trained Regional Coach status. This badge will be valid for the entire season, including the Quebec Championships.

• Stage badge: For Regional Coach In Training level coaches. This badge will not be valid at the Quebec Championships, as the Trained Regional Coach status is required.

Temporary badges will be available at the control table if needed. However, once you receive your official badge, you are asked to keep it and bring it to every tournament.
