Shaw Juniors Badminton Club
Fun badminton sessions with qualified coaches

Who are we?

We are a badminton club, affiliated to Badminton Club and run by volunteers, providing coaching for children aged from 8 to 16 years old.
We are very fortunate to have two of West Berkshire's top badminton players running the sessions (see 'Coaches' below).
We aim to make the evenings as much fun as possible, whilst ensuring that the juniors learn the correct technique and tactics to maximize their potential. During each session we usually spend the first half focusing on a particular skill and in the second half the children play games to put their new skills into practice.

Where, when and how much?

The sessions are held in the Sports Hall at Trinity School, from 6 to 7:30pm on Friday evenings.
We run two 12-week terms each year, one starting in September and the other in January.
New members are always welcome and there is currently no waiting list. Juniors can attend for a week or two before making a commitment to join for the whole term.
All coaches and adult helpers are volunteers, dedicating their time due to their love of the sport. This allows us to keep expenses at the bare minimum and we can offer membership at only £30 per term - just £2.50 per session. All of the fees paid go directly into the club's funds to finance court hire, purchase of shuttles (we use feather shuttles only) and Badminton England registration fees. None of the fees go to those running the club.

Can you trust us?

Shaw Juniors is affiliated to Badminton England, the governing body for badminton in England. This affiliation means that we have all insurance requirements in place and is your guarantee that we are a reputable club.
In addition, all the coaches hold individual qualifications awarded by Badminton England, so you can be sure that we have the skills required. Part of the requirement to hold a coaching license is to pass Criminal Record Bureau checks every three years. We can provide documentary evidence proving all this if you would like to see it.
