Pro-Club Trainer Staff

Launched in 2018, the Pro-Club Trainer Staff program is an innovative service that provides professional coaches and technical advisors to clubs. It was created to address a key challenge: the difficulty of recruiting and retaining qualified coaches, while ensuring consistent and professional training standards across the country.

The project began modestly, with three part-time coaches supporting six clubs — a total of 51 hours of training per week.
Today, for the 2025–2026 season, the Pro-Club network includes 13 coaches working with 17 clubs and LASEP, delivering over 250 hours of coaching each week. This means nearly 80% of FELUBA’s affiliated clubs are now part of the project, confirming its success and relevance.

Key Benefits

• Homogeneous quality coaching – all Pro-Club coaches are trained, supported, and evaluated by FELUBA.
• A stronger link between clubs and local communities, through structured programs that attract new members and encourage loyalty.
• A clear bridge between club training and national structures, facilitating the detection and development of young talents.
• Inclusive and accessible badminton, serving both performance-oriented and recreational players.
• Equal opportunities – even smaller clubs can benefit from the expertise of professional coaches.

A major strength of the program lies in its professional flexibility. Coaches are available throughout the day, enabling clubs to open new training slots and forge partnerships — for example, with Maisons Relais or the Hesper Beweegt Sech initiative, which offers midday sessions during the week.

The impact is tangible: FELUBA has seen a significant rise in licensed members and, more importantly, a new generation of young players reaching international levels of performance. This progress highlights how strategic investment in coaching quality leads to long-term success.

Operational Coordination

With the support of the Ministry of Sports, FELUBA has further strengthened the management of the project.
Since September 2025, a dedicated “Pro-Club Manager” (Gestionnaire Pro-Club) has taken over the full operational coordination of the program.
This role ensures smooth communication between clubs, coaches, and the federation — guaranteeing efficiency, quality, and continued growth.

Pro-Club Label

Beyond the presence of professional coaches, the Pro-Club Label provides the structural framework that guides clubs in their development.

FELUBA firmly believes that a sports organization should not focus solely on performance. Sport represents a wide range of values — inclusion, education, health, and community engagement — and every club must evolve to reflect them.
The Label is therefore much more than a certification: it is a development tool, designed to help clubs progress toward greater professionalism, coherence, and quality in all their activities.

Through the Label, FELUBA encourages clubs to:

• Develop effective, long-term training programs, especially for young players (Mini-Badminton, U11, U13).

• Promote “sport for all”, ensuring recreational practice and accessibility alongside competitive development.

• Adopt a structured and sustainable approach to coaching, administration, and member engagement.

The Pro-Club Trainer Staff and the Pro-Club Label are deeply interconnected. Coaches bring technical expertise and energy; the Label provides structure, direction, and alignment. Together, they create the conditions for the long-term growth of badminton in Luxembourg.
