Assessment

We welcome all intermediate level and above players to join our friendly environment at Chadacre. However, as we only have one club night a week, to maintain a good level of badminton for all of our members, we are unfortunately unable to accommodate for beginner/improver standard of players. Therefore, as with most other competitive clubs, there will be an assessment to determine whether or not you meet the entry criteria. 

On the night of your trial session, you will be assessed by the club captain on the following criteria:

• Technique: you must demonstrate a good level of accuracy, power and consistency on all your shots around all 4 corners of the court, even when under moderate pressure.

• Tactics: you must demonstrate a basic knowledge of doubles tactics and positioning during a rally.

• Serve: you must be able to low serve consistently with the ability to flick deceptively on occasion.

• Movement: you must be mobile enough around the court to maintain a rally during a long game and show that you have some basic knowledge of footwork patterns.

Please note, you will not be judged based on how many wins/losses you have on the night but you will need to show that you are of average or above ability during the session. This in turn keeps our sessions competitive for everyone.

Don't worry if you are unsure of what standard you are at, just drop us an email or even better come down for a trial session to see how you fit in!

Our club nights run throughout the year to maximise the full benefit of your membership. Please see below for membership fees and options.
