History:
A meeting among
the USA Badminton (USAB) executive
committee in 1991 determined
the organization’s main
thrusts and solidified its mandate
of being the national governing
body of the sport. As the governing
body for badminton in the country,
USAB administers all competitions
and trains the best players
for play in the Olympic Games.
In 1993, USAB put up an Olympic
Player Development Committee
that would oversee activities
to improve international performance.
To date, USAB regularly fields
players to the World Championships,
Sudirman Cup, Thomas Cup and
Uber Cup, World Junior Championships,
and Pan American Games.
Aside from
its promotional activities to
advance badminton at all levels
in the US, USAB also maintains
affiliations with national level
organizing bodies internationally
to promote a higher level of
competitive and recreational
badminton globally.
