Youth BadmintonThe youth badminton program is a fun way to develop proper technique and learn the game. It meets the needs of both the beginner and competitive player. Each level is a progression from the previous one. Class sizes are small and grouped according to ability. Children sign up according to age and move through the levels according to tests of ability. Each practice consists of instruction followed by match play in a fun, ladder format.

Level 1-3 (6-10 years) Learn the fundamentals of badminton in these fun and active Saturday sessions! You’ll learn grip, ready position, short serve, long serve, net shots, underhand clear skills and the rules for doubles play. Then you’ll put it all into practice by rallying with a partner in a non-intimidating environment.

Our qualified coaches will help your child increase their strength, stability, agility, balance and flexibility.
