    My name is James Rae and I am the creator of the web "A Teachers Guide to Badminton".  I'm 24 years old and I graduated from the University of Alberta with 5 year combined BPE/BEd degrees.  I have been playing badminton since I was in grade 7 and have been enjoying the sport ever since.  I have my level 1 and 2 badminton coaching certificate.  I won doubles Edmonton badminton city championships, at the high school level, in 1994, 1995, and 1996.  I also won zone championships in 1996.  Last year I  coached the senior badminton team at Bev Facey high school, in Sherwood Park.  We finished the regular season in first place and ended up losing the city championships in the finals to get second place.
