BADMINTON COACHING - RECREATIONAL SQUAD


Welcome to Mornington Peninsula Badminton Coaching — join our welcoming Recreational Squad and discover the joy of badminton. Run by registered Badminton Australia coaches at a not‑for‑profit community club (est. 1983), our safe, supportive sessions welcome junior players of all levels to learn core skills, make friends, and progress at their own pace.

What to Expect - Recreational Squad


Learn, Play, and Grow at Your Own Pace
Specifically designed for young players aged 10 to 18, our Recreational Squad is the perfect bridge for beginners and casual players who want to improve their game in a supportive, low-pressure environment. Whether your child is picking up a racquet for the first time or returning to the sport, our sessions focus on building confidence and skill through a balance of structured coaching and enjoyable social play.

Here is how our 90-minute sessions work:

  • Ages 10–18 Focused: We provide an inclusive environment tailored to the developmental needs of teenagers and pre-teens, focusing on both athletic skill and personal growth.

  • Small Group Coaching: Instruction is conducted in skill-level groups, ensuring every student receives considerable court time and personalised attention from our qualified coaches.

  • Master the Fundamentals: Students will learn the essential building blocks of badminton, including racquet grips, footwork, basic strokes, and the rally-point scoring system.

  • Strategic Growth: As players progress, our coaches introduce game-based drills and strategies for both singles and doubles, helping them feel confident in match play.

  • Qualified & Safe Leadership: Your child’s development is guided by qualified, child-safe coaches trained in best-practice safeguarding. We prioritise a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for all young players.

  • Building Community: Beyond the court, players join a social network of positive role models, providing opportunities to make new friends and expand their personal growth through sport.

  • Flexible Entry: We make it easy to get started! Come-and-try sessions are available, allowing students to experience the squad before committing to a full term.
