BC Winter games preparation for 2016

BC Winter games are a provincially organized event hosted every 2 years in BC and in 2016 February 25-28 it will be in Penticton BC.  These games are too provide an opportunity for the development of athletes, coaches and officials in preparation for higher levels of competition in a multi-sport environment which promotes interest and participation in sport and sporting activities, individual achievement, and community development. There are 8 zones mapped out in BC that participate (we’re Zone 6). To play in the Badminton event competitors must be at least 12 years old and not older than 13 years old, as of January 1, 2016 In 2012 Zone 6 came 6th overall in Badminton and in 2014 Zone 6 came 4th. Great results for the “Island Team”.
