Coach Membership
As a registered coach member of Badminton England, you can receive many exciting benefits and opportunities to enhance your coaching. From September 2023, we have adjusted our coach memberships, offering a membership for those coaches who volunteer their time and earn less than £5,000 per year, and those coaches who earn more than £5,000 per year from coaching. We have also included a DBS Check every three years within each coach membership package.
With a Badminton England Coach Membership, you can be safe in the knowledge that you are fully covered with public liability insurance should an accident occur on the court. Members can also access a range of further benefits, including exclusive discounts from online retailer directbadminton.co.uk and a 10% discount off the general sale ticket price for the YONEX All England Open Badminton Championships. Plus new from September 2023, Coach Members can receive access to our new Member Rewards Hub, providing discounts and savings from a number of national retailers.

Coach Memberships run for a 12 month period from the date of purchase or renewal.
