Welcome back to the Peterborough Junior Badminton Club program. Given school functions this fall we are starting a little late. We are continuing to hold three-hour sessions on Fridays starting October 7th, 2016 and running until April 21st, 2017. We will also be holding our 12th annual Peterborough Junior Tournament on January 14-15, 2017. This year, we would like to see a lot of support from our junior players so please save the date. Also, there are always tournaments held once a month outside the club if your child would like the experience of playing some competitive badminton.
Please ask coaching staff for more details.

Again this year, every Junior Club member will be automatically signed up for regular play in the large gym each Friday night from 6-9 pm. For those athletes interested in further improving their skills, the coaching staff will be offering training sessions in the small gym on scheduled evenings.

Advanced skills such as strategy, movement, and coaching/communication will be demonstrated to teach athletes how to excel at badminton at the adult and competitive level. |
