ORÇAMENTO VIII. ANEXOS Federação Portuguesa de Badminton – Plano de Alto Rendimento e Seleções Nacionais 2015 1 I - NOTA INTRODUTÓRIA Na sequência da linha de actuação que tem vindo a adoptar, a Federação Portuguesa de Badminton tem continuado a sua aposta não só na projecção e procura dos melhores resultados possíveis com os atletas de topo, mas também num trabalho de formação/aperfeiçoamento de novos atletas que permita uma continuidade e alargamento dos indicies qualitativos e de rendimento. Depois de asseguradas as infra-estruturas físicas (onde se destaca o Centro de Alto Rendimento), a FPB investiu nas estruturas humanas procurando criar as condições possíveis de aproximação ao melhor Badminton Europeu. No entanto, as restrições financeiras que afectam todos os aspectos da sociedade portuguesa condicionaram de sobremaneira todas as acções previstas, quer as que resultavam da continuidade de acções passadas, quer as de novas áreas de intervenção. Com estas condições adversas e com um orçamento altamente condicionado, coube à Direcção da FPB tomar as opções necessárias por forma a redefinir prioridades de actuação e desta forma continuar alguns projectos e suspendendo outros. A continuação do trabalho desenvolvido na vertente dos mais jovens, reunindo e orientando possíveis talentos da modalidade, não conseguiu (pelas razões atrás apontadas) atingir o patamar a que nos propúnhamos e que definia como prioritária a criação de condições para que houvesse um grupo de trabalho de atletas internos em permanência no CAR.
