BCAN Certified Coach Registration

COACH REGISTRATION SYSTEM

Starting with the 2025–2026 season, coach registration will be streamlined through oneBADGE, our new centralized portal. Whether you're renewing your credentials or joining for the first time, oneBadge will be your go-to platform for submitting applications, verifying requirements, and staying compliant—all in one place. 

 

In order to be eligible to coach at a Yonex (Junior/Senior) Elite, National Championship and International events held in Canada (representing Canada), all coaches must abide by the Coach Certification Policy and Coaching Field of Play Policy (found within the General Competition Regulations), and register following the instructions below:

Fill out the necessary information, select "Nationally-Licensed Coach" in the category section, create a username and press submit.  *Please note: If you are a club submitting an application on behalf of a coach, each coach must have a unique email address. Be sure to use the coach’s personal email rather than a general club email.

3. You will receive a welcome email from oneBADGE within 24 hours after submitting the preliminary information. In the welcome email you will receive the next steps on how to complete your information in the portal and how to complete the required tasks.
