Eindhoven Badminton Academy® (EBA) is een officiële badmintonschool die door Badminton Nederland is gecertificeerd als 1-ster.

As of July 2026, EBA has 170+ students in the youth department. RTC-EBA is an integral part of EBA, while EBA Selection are a group of young players who are highly driven to improve their badminton skills, have ambitions to eventually play at a good level and possibly pursue a career in the sport.

Wij richten ons op het geven van persoonlijke aandacht aan kinderen om hun ontwikkeling in badminton te versnellen. Onze coaches gaan hiervoor actief in gesprek met kinderen en hun ouders.

At EBA we have fun events, but we also focus on teaching badminton to our youth in a serious way. Our vision is to produce talent that can one day represent the Netherlands. 

EBA is momenteel de enige door Badminton Nederland gecertificeerde Badminton Academy in de regio Eindhoven. Eli Mambwe (ex-Olympiër, Peking 2008) is de Head-Coach van de Recreational Youth en Elite-Intermediate/Elite-Beginner groepen. Rick Steuten (RTC-EBA Eindhoven Hoofd Coach en voormalig Eredivisiespeler) is de Hoofd Coach van de Elite-Advanced partij. 

EBA organiseert verschillende evenementen gedurende het jaar: Junior Master Eindhoven Badminton Academy toernooi, interne Academy toernooien, Sinterklaas/Kerstviering, etc.

Although EBA is one of the wings of Rudra United Club, it is also open to young people from other clubs. For example, it is possible to train at EBA but represent other clubs in competition. For members of EBA who are interested in participating in leagues/tournaments do so under our competitive wing called Rudra United.
