She first began playing badminton at the age of 8 and quickly fell in love with the sport! She trained hard under various admirable coaches:\u00a0 Raju Rai (2008 USA Olympian), Xu Huaiwen (former world #1 for women\u2019s singles), and our very own SBC coaches, Coach Tang and Coach Katy. She began thriving in both local and national tournaments, winning numerous junior titles across the country. Despite outgrowing junior tournaments, she continues to follow her passion for badminton by competing in adult tournaments and returning to SBC as a lead coach, to give back to the community and bring up the next generation of players.<\/p><p>Vicky graduated from the University of Washington (UW) with a B.A. in Early Childhood and Family Studies and recently completed her M.A. in Teaching at UW. She is currently working full-time as a teacher in the Kent School District and coaches part-time at SBC. With her education background, Vicky emphasizes building strong, trusting relationships with her students and forming partnerships with parents to best support children\u2019s needs including their overall physical health and socioemotional maturity. She hopes to create a safe and fun environment for both children and adults to exercise, explore their potential, and make new friends! Ultimately, she aims to help grow and spread the joy of badminton. Please say hi to her if you see her on the courts and feel free to ask for advice or help any time!<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b0bbe6a elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b0bbe6a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Coaching Experience<\/h2><ul><li>10+ years of coaching experience<\/li><li>USA Badminton certified umpire<\/li><\/ul><div>\u00a0<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c00533b elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c00533b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Major Achievements<\/h2><p><b>USA Adult National Championships<\/b><\/p><ul><li aria-level=\"1\">Women\u2019s Doubles 2nd place (2018)<\/li><\/ul><p><b>Washington State Open<\/b><\/p><ul><li>Women\u2019s Singles Champion (2014, 2015, 2016)<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Women\u2019s Doubles Champion (2014, 2016, 2017, 2018), 2nd place (2019)<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Mixed Doubles Champion (2016), 2nd place (2018), Semi-Finalist (2022)<\/li><\/ul><p><b>Washington State Closed<\/b><\/p><ul><li>Women\u2019s Singles Champion (2014, 2015), 2nd place (2016)<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Women\u2019s Doubles Champion (2016, 2017), 2nd place (2014, 2015, 2019)<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Mixed Doubles Champion (2016, 2017, 2019), 2nd place (2014)<\/li><\/ul><p><b>Washington BCD + A Open<\/b><\/p><ul><li>Women\u2019s Singles Champion (2014)<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Women Doubles Champion (2014, 2017, 2018)<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Mixed Doubles 2nd place (2016, 2017)<\/li><\/ul><p><b>UW Husky Open<\/b><\/p><ul><li aria-level=\"1\">Women\u2019s Doubles Champion (2017, 2018, 2019)<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Mixed Doubles 2nd place (2017, 2018, 2019)<\/li><\/ul><p><b>FISU World University Games<\/b><\/p><ul><li aria-level=\"1\">Taiwan (2017)<\/li><\/ul><p><b>BWF World Junior Championships<\/b><\/p><ul><li aria-level=\"1\">Malaysia (2014)<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Peru (2015)<\/li><\/ul><p><b>Pan Am Junior Championships<\/b><\/p><ul><li aria-level=\"1\">Girls&#8217; Doubles Champion (2011, 2013)<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Mixed Doubles Champion (2011, 2014), 2nd place (2015)<\/li><\/ul><p><b>USA Junior National Championships\u00a0<\/b><\/p><ul><li>Girls&#8217; Singles 2nd place (2011), Semi-Finalist (2012, 2013)<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Girls&#8217; Doubles Champion (2011, 2013), 2nd place (2014), 3rd Place (2010), Semi-Finalist (2012)<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Mixed Doubles Champion (2010, 2011, 2012, 2015), 3rd Place (2014)<\/li><\/ul><p><b>USA Junior International Trials<\/b><\/p><ul><li>Girls&#8217; Singles 2nd place (2011)<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Girls&#8217; Doubles Champion (2011, 2012, 2013), 2nd place (2014)<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Mixed Doubles 2nd place (2011)<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-be112c9 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"be112c9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div><h2>Rate<\/h2><p>One student: $140 per hour<\/p><p>Two siblings: $160 per hour<\/p><p>Two students: $180 per hour<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f1079df elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f1079df\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Contact<\/h2><p>Email: <a href=\"mailto:victoria@seattlebadminton.com\">victoria@seattlebadminton.com<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-52c6c15 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"52c6c15\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Policy<\/h2><ul><li aria-level=\"1\">Monthly pre-pay system: payment should be made by the first lesson of each month; any missed\/canceled lessons may be used as a credit in the next month (Zelle, PayPal, Venmo, checks\/cash are all acceptable).<\/li><li aria-level=\"1\">Cancellations MUST be made at least 24hrs in advance or there will be a SBC late court cancellation fee of $30.
