The Canary Islands Badminton Federation brought together 15 young athletes at the Pabellón IES Playa Honda in San Bartolomé for the fourth training camp of its talent-identification program, “Se Busca Campeón,” radiomarcalanzarote.com reported.
Training Camp Coordinates with Arrecife Tournament
The weekend training sessions coincided with the Máster N5 Arrecife tournament, which was organized by the Auria Bádminton Club. This scheduling allowed the invited players to combine competitive matches with specialized technical instruction directed by the federation’s technical staff.
As part of the weekend’s extracurricular activities, the young players attended a Saturday evening lecture given by Olympic champion Carolina Marín at Jameos del Agua.

The under-11 roster featured Ahinoa García from Tiguaneje, Julieta López from CD Pajaritos, Pedro Alonso from Universitario, Valentina Isabel Pérez and Sharlotte Sanahuja from Los Hinojeros Granadilla, and Isaac Rincón from Auria Bádminton Club.
