This week will see Badminton Malta members active on the international front.

Two players from the Junior Academy, namely Kyle Sciberras and Nigel Degaetano, will be travelling to Edinburgh to take part in a training camp and tournament.

The Maltese youngsters will be led by John Attard, Badminton Malta’s general secretary.

The two-and-a-half day training camp in Edinburgh will cover the salient technical and tactical aspects of the game. This will be followed by a half-day tournament in which all the training camp participants will take part.

For Sciberras and Degaetano, this will be the third international experience following their successful participation in tournaments held in Cyprus and Sicily.

Meanwhile, George Camilleri will be representing Badminton Malta at this year’s edition of Badminton Europe’s Summer School in Madrid.

The Summer School is an intensive seven-day training camp for U-17 players and coaches, providing the participants with the opportunity to assimilate the latest playing and coaching developments of the game under the guidance of nine professional high-performance coaches.

Camilleri has been active in Maltese badminton for a number of years, gaining playing and coaching experience, focusing mainly on junior players, with Shuttles Fort Blocks Badminton Club.

In a statement, Badminton Malta reaffirmed its commitment to invest in the development of all its junior players and coaches by continuing to provide them with opportunities of this nature in future.
