Badminton – Essential Skills Training Course

What we are offering.

Starting the first week of May, we are looking to run a 5 week ‘essential skills’ badminton training course every Friday evening at the Hingham Sports Hall from 730pm till 930pm.

We have the entire hall booked for this time (3 courts) and with the help of 2 experienced players who have previously coached and our 2 automatic shuttlecock launcher machines we are looking for people who may be interested in taking their game to get to the next level.

The groups will be kept reasonably small to enable a more personal focused approach to the training and the entire 5 week course cost will be £50.  Depending on uptake we may look to run this course a few times throughout the summer.

Why are we doing this?

The Hingham social badminton club has a wide selection of players from beginners through to league players and everything in between, however we do not tend to learn anything during the Wednesday sessions and only play social doubles games, having time to learn from experienced players and practice certain aspects of the game will help those that are looking to improve further.

What we are aiming to cover.

The course will cover all aspects of the game including

• • Improving all of the basic stokes (Serving, attacking & defending)
  • Improving positioning on court
  • Improving movement around the court
  • Providing a broad understanding of the current rules of the game
  • Providing a broad understanding of basic tactics, shot selection & placement of shot

Who would be suitable to attend?

These sessions are NOT suitable for League standard players, players already being coached by Badminton England qualified coaches, and beginners (we may run specific sessions for this category at a later point), they are however suitable for

• • Social badminton players who haven’t had any coaching
  • Club players who haven’t had any coaching
  • Players returning to the game who need a refresher
  • Players wanting to improve their doubles play (sessions would have only limited value to those only interested in playing singles)

 We also cannot accept anyone under the age of 16 or those with mobility or underlying health issues for safeguarding and medical reasons.
