The Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) has decided to allow independent players access to joint training sessions at its training facility, Akademi Badminton Malaysia, according to BAM president Tengku Zafrul Aziz.
The move represents an effort to provide competitive training opportunities for players operating outside formal team arrangements. The decision grants autonomy to individual athletes to choose whether they wish to participate in the organised training programmes.
This policy shift aims to maintain competitive standards across the sport while accommodating players who prefer to train independently. The training sessions at the academy will provide access to coaching expertise and facilities that can support athlete development.
The announcement reflects BAM's commitment to nurturing badminton talent across various player categories and training arrangements. Athletes interested in utilising the facility can now make informed decisions about integrating with the national squad's training structure.
