What Player Level Are You?
- Fundamentals: is tailored for a wide range of players, including beginners and casual players who may engage in recreational matches or school play without prior formal coaching. This session focusses on developing coordination skills, refining footwork, and mastering basic techniques within a supportive small group setting. Sessions are generally capped at 6 players per court under the guidance of one qualified coach.
- Performance Squad: Designed for 11-16 year olds aiming to play competitions, this program is ideal for players who have a foundational understanding and are ready to be introduced to routine based training. Our structured coaching approach focuses on detailed skill development, and participants are expected to meet fitness requirements and exhibit determination and focus in every session. Attendance and engagement are closely monitored. Players should already be confident in sparring and capable of hand-feeding shuttles to each other. Sessions are generally limited to 8 players across 2 courts to ensure personalised attention and optimal training.
