The board of our badminton club ensures that the conditions for playing badminton are met. The board is responsible for the day-to-day management and develops the club's policy. We strive to make BvA a progressive club where the interests of its members are paramount. A safe environment is crucial. Therefore, we have a multi-year policy plan with both short- and long-term goals that guides the future and provides clarity for our members.

The management board is accountable to the general membership meeting, AGM. The management board consists of:

Social safety at our badminton club

At our club, social safety is paramount. We want everyone to feel welcome, respected, and safe – regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, cultural background, or athletic level. Badminton is for everyone, and we are actively committed to creating an environment where the enjoyment of sports goes hand in hand with mutual respect.

Whether you're young or old, playing recreationally or training enthusiastically – everyone counts. We have clear rules of conduct and address each other respectfully and positively. Bullying, discrimination, inappropriate behavior, or exclusion have no place here.
