What do I need to bring?

You don’t necessarily need any equipment to attend a No Strings Badminton session. We recommend players bring their own racket if you have one, if you don’t its worth contacting the centre/Coordinator to check they will have one you can borrow
Shuttles will be provided
Please dress in appropriate sports clothing
Please bring a water bottle

What should I expect when I arrive?

For the majority of No Strings Badminton sessions you will need to check in at reception before the session starts (unless you have been told otherwise by the coordinator)
You will be greeted by the No Strings Badminton Coordinator who should be wearing a T-shirt so you can easily identify them
The coordinator will ask about your playing experience and what you want to get out of the session
They will then introduce you to other players and get you on court playing a match as quickly as possible

What is the role of a coordinator?

The Coordinator is there to facilitate the session. It iss their job to greet players, match them up with players of similar abilities and get you on court and rotating matches to give you the best experience from your session.

Is there coaching?

This is a non-coached session. While Coordinator’s and other players may offer tips and advice to help improve your game (where to stand, how to serve, how to score etc) no formal coaching takes place during these sessions.

Do I have to attend every week?

No Strings Badminton offers an alternative to the traditional badminton club model. By removing the annual fee and running sessions on a pay-and-play basis, you don’t have commit to attending every week. Instead you can access badminton at a time and place that is convenient for you. However, we hope that the great experience and value for money will leave you wanting more…

Do I need to be good at badminton?

No Strings Badminton is designed to be an inclusive programme, with all ages and abilities welcome. We understand that when sessions become competitive it can be very off-putting for beginners or participants that have not played badminton in a while. Therefore, the ethos of the session is centred around fun and not competition and the coordinator will do what they can to ensure players are evenly matched.
