Questions

Who is Badminton for?

Children in partner-school programmes and academy groups. Children can begin training from Grade 1. Every child develops differently. Our coaches assess each learner's interests, readiness and abilities to recommend the right starting level and training pathway. Racket length and court size are adapted for beginners where possible. Adult classes are arranged on request.

How is progress measured?

Coaches assess grip and stroke technique, footwork, serve and rally and tactics against defined criteria. Progress is shared with families through coach feedback and term reports.

Where does it run?

At partner schools, academies and communities. Tell us where you are and we will confirm what runs near you.

Singles or doubles?

Both. Learners start with cooperative rallies, then play singles and doubles as their footwork and shots develop.
