We offer an extensive junior badminton programme here at Wellington North Badminton. We provide a player pathway catering from the age of 6, and for a range of abilities. The Shuttle Time Programmes are perfect to get the basics right from the start and prepare for social and competitive play; whilst our junior development and representative programmes will prepare those who are keen shuttlers wanting to compete regionally and nationally. Children begin in the Bronze class, once they have mastered the skills required for that class their coach will move them up to the Silver class. Gold class is invitation only and for players who have completed bronze and silver class.

This programme is a progression on the Wellington North Pathway from our Silver Programme. It is targeted at the more advanced participants who wish to progress into representative teams and compete within local badminton competitions. The programme will have a substantial emphasis on badminton training which will focus on advanced techniques, physical fitness and continue to highlight the importance on physical literacy.
Badminton training includes
Advanced grips, overhead shots, movement patterns (footwork), positioning and tactics all with a considerably strong focal point on the correct technique.
Physical literacy includes
Quality experiences are imbedded within our vision and philosophy, emphasising the value of having a participant centred approach. We will stress the importance of confidence, competence, knowledge and understanding of the sport and being active to ensure an enjoyable, rewarding experience is achieved at all times for participant satisfaction.
