Autism Cook Islands hosts first Badminton class

Autism Cook Islands recently conducted their inaugural training session in collaboration with Badminton Cook Islands late last month.

The badminton program, hosted by Badminton Cook Islands, takes place every Monday at St. Joseph’s Hall, located across from Prime Foods.

Twelve students attended the first one-hour badminton class.
