HIT THE COURT!

With over 24,000 courts across England and over half a million people playing at least once per week, badminton is growing steadily across the country. Also, with the introduction of the ‘Smash Up!’ initiative the game will be introducing badminton to one in three secondary schools by October 2014. Meanwhile, there is also continued investment in para-badminton as part of efforts to increase disability participation in this dynamic sport. Beyond that, the sport is low cost and a lot of fun. Whatever your reason for playing, it’s easy to book a court at a facility and get going. 

BADMINTON England has over 2,000 clubs across the country with sessions to suit everyone. For local venues and clubs take a look at the organisation’s club listings.
