Looking for a sociable sport for your child?
A fast non-contact sport that can be played by girls and boys alike? A sport that is played indoors so isn’t weather dependent? A sport played at a club where they can make new friends whilst getting healthy exercise and learning new skills? Do you want the reassurance of knowing your child is under the supervision of qualified, CRB checked coaches? At a club affiliated to and rated as a "Premier Club" by Badminton England?
Here in the Coventry and Warwickshire area, there are THREE great junior badminton coaching clubs affiliated to Badminton England that tick all those boxes! Incidentally, Alveston Juniors are not only the largest badminton club, but also the only "Premier Club" in Warwickshire
All three clubs work closely with their local schools to deliver curriculum and after school coaching sessions in addition to their own impressive array of weekly club sessions. Between them they work with Alveston, Blue Coat, Caludon Castle, Kineton High, King Edward VI, Kings High, North Leamington, Stoke Park, Stratford High, Trinity and Whitley Abbey. More schools coming soon too!
All three clubs have direct links with the Warwickshire Schools Badminton Association who run the county’s junior squads. Talented players identified are offered trials where appropriate
All three clubs have racquets to borrow for those who don’t have their own and all three offer free taster sessions and free club polo tops. You can’t go wrong! Click on the links below to access their club websites to learn more about club session times and costs etc
