PB Djarum is an Indonesian badminton club in Kudus, Central Java. The club was founded at the Djarum brak (cigarette factory) located at Jl. Bitingan Lama (now called Jl.

History

Stadium profile (GOR Jati)

The first PB Djarum GOR (Gelanggang Olah Raga, international-level badminton court) was located at Bitingan Lama (1969). In 1982, it was replaced by Kaliputu and known as the second GOR. Both were used by PB Djarum Kudus and now are used by local residents to practice badminton, as GOR Jati was built above the 43,207 meters squares land at Jl. Jati – Kudus in 2004 and authorized on 27 May 2006. [9]

In accordance with PB Djarum's mission, GOR Jati construction cost about IDR 30 billion, which is applied to PB Djarum's athletes in Men's and Women's Singles competitions. The Doubles are placed at PB Djarum Jakarta. According to the international standard, GOR Jati is claimed to be the best training facility in Asia. Among 29,450 square meter, the GOR Jati facility comprises 4,925 square meter sports building with 16 courts inside. Twelve of them are surfaced with wood; the others with vinyl (synthetic rubber). There is seating on the right and left sides. Other supplementary buildings are: meeting room, office space, cafeteria, fitness center, computers room, audio-visual room, and library. Included within the facility is a 1,834 square meter athletes' residence hall. It has 40 bedrooms for two persons each, complete with beds and desks, separated between Men/Boys and Women/Girls. The coaches' house takes 312 square meters from the total facility area. [9]

Education profile

Since its inception, PB Djarum has firmly encouraged its athletes to have the vision to achieve in both tournaments and education. Time management is an important matter, yet it is not easy, since most of them are students in elementary, junior high, or senior high school. In order to maintain and balance the two important aspects, PB Djarum cooperates with Department of Education and Culture. The result is the best performance of its athletes in both badminton and education.

The Department supports PB Djarum's athletes by presenting school time dispensation, beginning studies at different times from regular students. They are also given permission to leave classes to attend tournaments. At present, some schools that sustain PB Djarum's athletes' academy are SD Barongan II, SMP Taman Dewata, and SMA Kramat. [1]

Training profile

"Athletes must work hard. Without effort, no triumph will come easily" – Budi Hartono, CEO of PT Djarum.

This is true, especially for PB Djarum's athletes. In PB Djarum, every athlete candidate must pass the selection phase, including considerations like age, height, aptitude, intellectual capacity, psychological stability, basic skills, and family support. They must pass to join PB Djarum training activities.

After the initial selection, there is a continuous selection in athletes' match ability. They must improve; otherwise, he/she will be sent home, as a part of a promotion-degradation training system applied by PB Djarum. The clauses that define the system are written to acknowledge each athlete's parents from the beginning.

The system increases the competitive atmosphere between athletes, and under-performing athletes are given chances for self-improvement, or to develop another career.
