Exciting news everyone - we will once again we running a Raveminton event this year!

On Saturday 11th November, we will be turning off all the normal lights, laying down fluorescent tape to mark out the court lines and playing badminton with glow in the dark shuttles under ultra-violet (UV) light!

Players should wear appropriate clothing for the event - think white and other bright colours rather than black or dark colours. That way you will glow in the dark!

We will have a small supply of accessories that you can borrow to complete your UV badminton outfit - headbands, wristbands, tshirts, laces, UV body crayons, glow sticks, stickers, tape that you can stick to your racket... plus we've got a few challenges with prizes lined up to test how well you can play badminton in the dark!

If you've not been lucky enough to attend the event before then you can check out some photos from 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, and 2022. to see what it's like.

We are only able to run this event once a year so make sure you free up space in your calendar for it as you won't want to miss out! We will be running 3 sessions during the evening so that we can give as many players the chance to enjoy the experience as we can. Although it doesn't particular matter which session you sign up for, we've made some suggestions on which age groups should attend each session so that the other players are of a similar age and ability to you:

Session #1: 5pm - 6:30pm: Recommended for players in school years 4-8
Session #2: 6:30pm - 8pm: Recommended for players in school years 7-11
Session #3: 8pm - 9:30pm: Recommended for players in school years 9-13 and 6th form

Our junior members should already have received an email inviting them to attend a session. Players from local schools and other junior clubs are welcome to join in, just send us a message to ask for a link to the signup form.

Family Badminton

This week the NSPCC's Child Protection in Sport Unit are running a Keeping Your Child Safe in Sport campaign. In support of the week, we ran a Family Badminton 🏸 session last night. We were delighted to have 14 juniors and their parents join us!

We ran through just some of the important things that parents do to enable their children to participate in sport safely and how they can help influence their enjoyment. Most importantly we asked our juniors to join us in thanking them for all they do! πŸ‘

We then split into groups and worked together to complete some badminton challenges:
1️⃣ Around the World
2️⃣ Smash Pyramid
3️⃣ Bullseye Targets
4️⃣ Volleyball Badminton
before playing some friendly family doubles games!

We hope everyone had fun! A couple of photos from the session can be found here.
