Coaching
Training for beginners / intermediate players
At the beginning of each season, we organise structured training courses for beginners and intermediate players who want to brush up on their badminton basics. These courses run over several weeks and provide a good opportunity for people who are new to the sport to come to grips with the ins and outs of badminton. It may also prove useful for those who have played before, but need to re-activate rusty previous experience after a longer break...or simply for those who want to improve their techniques.
