S’COOL MISSION

“Olympians Nicole Grether and Charmaine Reid inspire children to be active, to

set goals, to live their dreams and pursue a healthy lifestyle through an engaging,

in-school demonstration and workshop.”

Nicole Grether & Charmaine Reid

We introduce badminton as a great sport to stay fit and have fun, while

motivating and inspiring students to set goals and achieve their dreams.

We offer an energetic program that will engage teachers and students

Introduction: We introduce ourselves to the school, give background information

on how we started our competitive sport, our worldwide tournaments and the

Olympics

Demonstration: We show the students badminton strokes (clear, drop, smash,

drive, net shots) and how to move around the court. We demonstrate drills and

get students involved in the exercises while emphasizing the importance of

practice in everything they do.

Motivational Speech: We talk about how important it is to set goals in life and

not give up if the target is not achieved, to work hard, learn from defeats and

believe in fair play, teamwork, nutrition and to have fun and stay physically active.

Battle ready: We put on a badminton exhibition match, play with 2, 3 and 4

shuttles at once, put together all the badminton stokes, movement and exercises.

We challenge the teachers to a match creating an exciting atmosphere with

cheering and fun.

Testimonials

"this was the best day of my life" Thank you.

Grade 8 student, Kellie Thomas,

Hawfields Middle School, North Carolina

Nicole and Charmaine,

Today was a beautiful day in NC and the grade six students were

about to go outside for PE. One kid asked Lisa, "can't we play

badminton”. When she asked the group if they would rather stay in

and play badminton, literally ALL the hands waved madly.

Thank you to our visiting 'Badminton Missionaries'.

Paul Knechtel and Lisa Ward, North Carolina

Jon and I really appreciate both of you coming to GFS last month

and putting on 4 wonderful exhibitions for our students. The kids

really enjoyed watching you play; they've never seen the "real

competitive badminton game," in action, and you showed them the

real thing. You are both exceptional athletes and are outstanding

role models for our young girls. Please let us know if you get to

Westport again. We'd love to see you and please let us know how

you are doing. Take care and keep in touch. Thanks again and

good luck to both of you in your competitive endeavors!

Sincerely,

Liza Pags - (Paglialunga)

Green's Farms School, Connecticut

Dear Nicole and Charmaine,

The feedback I received from students and staff was very positive.

The presentation was both interesting and inspiring. You were

clearly well prepared and you pitched the material at the correct

level for the student audience. The demonstrations were

impressive and the games involving teachers and students were a

lot of fun to watch. We would not hesitate to invite you back to our

school and speak again to our students.

Kind regards,

Scot

shuttlecock. I have role models now.
