As part of our ongoing partnership with Babolat, we are excited to announce the introduction of a new competition coming this Summer, the ‘Babolat Circuit Championships’.

This event will build on the existing circuit competition structure and provide an exciting new event aimed at senior circuit players, aged 16+ and graded E and below to compete alongside players of the same grade in the atmosphere of a big tournament.

Winners of the new Circuit Championships will be invited to then represent Badminton England in the 4-Nations Graded International Tournament on 9th -10th August in Ireland.

Head of Competition at Badminton England, Mark Downie, said: “At Badminton England, one of our core strategic aims is to create more opportunities for our members to play competitive badminton.

“Our continued partnership with Babolat is integral to striving to meet those aims and we are looking forward to this new competition generating more interest for those players who compete regularly on the tournament circuit.”

The event will be held at the University of Nottingham, one of the largest sports halls in the country, across all 20 courts on Saturday 21st June and Sunday 22nd June.

Players that have played in a minimum of three circuit tournaments in the last 12 months of the event will be eligible to enter. Find out more and enter online .
