Rugby Youth Badminton Squad Information

What do we do?

Sessions are a mixture of coaching and games. Our aim is to coach children aged 6 to 17 all aspects of the game of badminton, but above all it is about playing an exciting sport and having some fun. New players are given individual help with basic racquet skills, whilst more experienced players practice shots in a group. The latter part of each session is spent playing competitive games.
There are competitions throughout the year and trophies to be won at the end of the season. The top players compete to win the coveted Gloria Hudson Rose Bowl. Those who want to progress will also have the opportunity to join the Warwickshire County junior squad. The sports hall has 4 courts with around 24 players per session

Who are we?

The Rugby Youth Badminton Squad is the junior section of the Rugby & District Badminton Association and one of the area groups within the Warwickshire Schools Badminton Association (WSBA). More information can be found on the following websites that also contain links to other useful sites:

What will you need?

If you have a badminton racquet please bring it along. For those who do not own a racquet we do have a selection of racquets that can be borrowed each week free of charge, especially short handled ones for the younger players.

Sports clothing is best (warmer clothing in winter) and soft-soled sports shoes are safer than hard soled trainers. Nets and shuttles are provided.

What does it cost?

What does it cost? The season runs from September through to May. The cost of each session is £2.00, but cheaper if you pay per term.
