BC37 Coach Lotte Thomsen Appointed New U13 Head for Badminton Denmark

Stepping Into Youth Development

For Thomsen, the appointment marks an opportunity to shape emerging badminton talents within the region. Drawing on her background as a former national team player, she aims to focus on holistic athlete growth during the regional camps.

“It is important to work with the U13 group, and now I have been given this opportunity to be involved in the development of youth players in Denmark, and as a former national team player I would very much like to contribute to that,” Thomsen said in a statement to Badminton Danmark.

She emphasized the significance of the player experience during these formative years. “It is important to get the young players some good experiences along the way, and I hope to be able to help provide that when the players gather. I look forward to working to help the young players develop and achieve their dreams and at the same time look at the whole person along the way.”

Transitions in the Coaching Roster

Thomsen’s predecessor, Anton Tømming Larsen, leaves the U13 East post to step up as the U15 national coach. The shuffle is part of a broader series of coaching adjustments across Denmark’s youth national teams and regional training centers, detailed in Badminton Danmark’s official coaching announcement.

BC37, where Thomsen maintains her club affiliation, expressed strong support for the appointment. Club representatives highlighted the assignment as recognition of her extensive work with youth badminton in the area, signaling confidence that Zealand’s U13 prospects remain positioned for continued development under her guidance.

Next Steps

Thomsen will immediately assume duties overseeing the upcoming regional U13 training gatherings across eastern Denmark. Badminton Danmark will publish further updates regarding the regional training calendar through its official channels.
