UNS — The Faculty of Sports (FKOR) Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) Surakarta held a training for badminton trainers from FKOR. The international level training was held under the scheme of Training of Trainer for Badminton World Federation (BWF) Level 1, collaborating with the Indonesian Badminton Association (PBSI) and Badminton Asia as tutors.
The training is scheduled for five days from 23 November to 28 November 2021, with a total of 29 FKOR UNS students as participants. The training was opened directly by the Chairman of (Ketum) Pengprov PBSI Jawa Tengah, Yusuf Basri, on Tuesday (23/11/2021) in Grand HAP Hotel Solo.
In his opening remark, the Dean of FKOR UNS, Dr. Sapta Kunta Purnama, hoped that all participants could join the training seriously with strict discipline. He stated that all the participants are students who have started their journey as badminton trainers.
“What is shared by the tutors needs to be understood because you are the ones who will shape excellent Indonesian athletes. This program was implemented because of UNS achievement that exceeds its performance indicators, including FKOR that brings achievement and received funding incentives,” Dr. Sapta Kunta explained.
Yusuf Basri stated that there is no specific standard for physical parameters in sports. Therefore in 2012-2015, through Junior Master selection, PBSI developed a dynamic and not-stagnant physical parameter.
“Hopefully, the sports knowledge, especially in training, can be updated continuously; moreover everything must be based on sports science nowadays. We hoped there will be a regeneration of trainers and tutors for trainers who will always update their training knowledge,” he concluded. Humas UNS
