How to get started

There are plenty of reasons why you should pick up a racket and start playing badminton.

Badminton is an excellent form of exercise and a fantastic sport. Anyone can play from all communities and backgrounds, whatever your motivation or ability. Badminton provides physical, social and mental rewards on and off the court at any age and for a lifetime.

Essentials

Essentials is a programme of 8 sessions designed to teach you all the badminton basics at a relaxed pace in a fun and friendly setting by a Badminton England endorsed coach.

Beginner Coaching

Beginner groups are a great way to participate in weekly coaching sessions with endorsed Badminton England coaches. These sessions primarily focus on basic techniques and will help you understand the game and the main techniques (underarm hitting, overarm hitting and serving). These sessions support you in developing your own style and learning about effective body movement and footwork for badminton.

Intermediate Coaching

Intermediate groups are for players with a sound badminton background and for the ‘Rusty Racckets’ who have played badminton in the past and want to get back up to speed. Players attending this stage can play, sustain a rally, and score. These groups go deeper into effective techniques and movements and bring tactical game elements to develop confidence in playing points.

Advanced Coaching

Advanced groups are for those more competent players with matchplay experience. These sessions aim to develop deep tactical awareness, physical fitness and mental focus, using high-impact training drills and match play scenarios.
