Junior Badminton Academy

The junior club programs are very formally structured with all players wearing club shirts provided free when you enroll for 4 school terms first time. We emphasize children learning & practicing all good values learning social skills while learning badminton sport. Punctuality, Regular attendance, players putting their full effort, respecting other players/coaches, use of appropriate language and good sportsmanship are some of the aspects given importance during club sessions. Apart from values, badminton sport includes not only learning skills but also fitness program, competitions, rules of games, injury management, weekly assessments and mental training. The player’s progress and performances are closely monitored on a weekly basis and upgrade to appropriate sessions or recommendations for individual advancements & further training opportunities are provided. While we ensure children to have good social time and fun we encourage and emphasis players to develop competitive culture from early ages to develop & excel at their own pace. We believe while some of the skilled and passionate players move towards competitive high-level tournaments others will gain great life & sports skills to develop their future towards their set goals in life and continue to play badminton for entertainment and social fun during their lifetime.
