Absolutely — beginners are exactly who our junior programs are built for. Your free trial lets our coaches see your child's level and place them in the right group.
-
We coach players from age 7 and up. Our Rising Athletes (Junior Development) program is built for ages 7–16, grouped by age and level so your child trains alongside similar players. Adults of all levels are welcome too.
-
We supply equipment for juniors. We do recommend students bring their own racquet and badminton (non-marking indoor) shoes as they progress — our coaches can advise on the right gear.
-
Comfortable activewear, non-marking indoor sports shoes, and a water bottle. A racquet if you have one — but no need to buy one to start.
-
There's no obligation. If it's a good fit, your coach will recommend the right program on the day — and you can continue by choosing one of our flexible packages, which we'll help you set up there and then. Prefer to think it over? No pressure at all.
-
Sessions start from $50, and we offer discounted packages when you book multiple sessions — all flexible, with no lock-in contracts. Your first trial session is always free.
