Badminton for softies (FIT 01)

  • Day and time: Wednesday 12:00 - 13:00
    Weekly
  • Length of course: 3 terms. Autumn (10 Weeks), Spring (10 Weeks), Summer (9 Weeks)
  • Vacancies: 0
  • Start date: 07 October 2026
  • Description:

    Are you looking to return to badminton after years off the court or are you a beginner, keen to start playing in a friendly, supportive group? The emphasis in this course is on having fun and helping each other. We all learn by having a go without any formal teaching but the coordinators and those who have played before will be able to inform on rules and help beginners get started. A fee of £3.20 per session is paid to the venue but this is likely to be increased slightly for 2027. This same price is valid out of U3A term times and many of us continue playing throughout the year when we are free.

    Shuttles are provided for a small annual charge. Most buy their own racquets but they can also be borrowed from the venue.

  • Format: Course or activity without teaching

  • Coordinator: Sarah Oliver
  • I started badminton 6 years ago, with U3AC. Still (and probably always!) a softie, I've come to love the game and I'm keen to help others enjoy it too.
