Badminton
Our multi court sport hall is available every day of the week, with 8 courts to choose from.
For our Juniors, we run two sessions that are led by George Moorey who is a UKCC Level 2 qualified and BADMINTON England licensed coach. Bring your own racket or you’re welcome to borrow one from George’s kit bag (junior and full size). Shuttles are provided.
Beginners
This session is aimed at primary age children. Expect loads of fun games that develop the core badminton skills of agility, balance and coordination involving pushing, pulling, twisting, throwing, hitting, running, jumping.
Improvers
This session is aimed at secondary age children. They will build badminton specific skills by developing the stroke cycle alongside tactics and strategy whilst playing a wide variety of match based games.
| Tuesdays: | Beginners | 16.00 - 17.00 |
| Improvers | 17.00 - 18.00 | |
George is happy to help GCSE PE students with badminton modules and help players who want to use participation in these sessions as credit toward achieving school led Duke Of Edinburgh awards.
