This wonderful association between PGBA and Sportopia has given an opportunity for the players to train together at both venues on many occasions. The players found this Junior Badminton League as a good platform to gauge their strengths and areas of improvement. Game for these participants was not only about winning for themselves but they also understood their responsibility as a teammate and the coordination that is required when it comes to playing with someone alongside.
