Coaching
As a club we are delighted to be able to provide coaching to those members that would like the opportunity to improve their game, increase their enjoyment of the sport of badminton and reduce their risk of injury. Our coach, Pete Crawshaw is a UKCC level 3 coach and is affiliated to Badminton England.
​
As a coaching club, the expectation is that all members participate in coaching, especially beginners. This ensures all participants play safely and there is enjoyment for all members.
The club heavily subsidises the cost, but there will be a small charge to ensure we are able to offer coaching on a regular basis.
​
Coaching will cost £4 per session for all members that would like some coaching. Payment will be taken once a quarter and members will pay for the number of sessions they have had that quarter.
We expect members to have no more than 4 sessions per quarter.
Coaching includes:
• Court safety, including where not to stand
• Fitness/conditioning
• Tactics including defensive and attacking play
• Footwork
• Badminton racket grips (forehand, backhand and bevel grip)
• Positional play (Fore court, mid court, rear court)
• Technical aspects including playing forehand, backhand and serving
• Different shots and shot selection
• Game tactics for singles, level doubles and mixed doubles
• Coaching for league players
If anyone has a question or a specific area, they would like coaching on, please feel free to speak to a member of the committee.
