Background
Building the future of Badminton
This is where our journey begins. Join us and discover the secrets of being a good Badminton player. From beginner to pro, we will hold you hand every step of the way.
Since 2022, we have been running a much revitalised Junior Programme with the help of volunteer members of our senior section and parents together with, of course, our dedicated coaches. Our aim has always been to promote badminton to a wide group of children aged 7+ with little or no prior experience. Encouraged by the vast experience of Head Coach Davy, we have successfully engaged with teachers and children demonstrating badminton in schools on several occasions. With the addition of Assistant Coach Tatjana on our team, we are able to provide additional basic training, enthusiastic coaching and motivation. Hence from December 2023, we have been able to introduce dedicated weekday training on both Wednesday and Friday afternoons and from January 2024, we have established a Sunday club session in addition to our Saturday session.
If you are interested in our Junior Programme, please see more details below. If you are a PE teacher interested in more information about badminton at your school, please contact us. (Link to Contact Page)
Our club sessions are where the juniors learn basic racket skills, play games, and socialise in a larger group. Our training sessions are designed for small groups with more intensive attention to training, developing skills, fitness and tactics.
Junior Club Sessions
Saturday 08:30-10:00
Sunday 08:30-10:00
Our club sessions are where the juniors learn basic racket skills, play games, and socialise in a larger group. These are appropriate for age 7+ and do not require any experience. Our club sessions are voluntary based and we encourage parents and members of our senior club to help organise and volunteer during these sessions. In some cases, where the youngest juniors take part, we ask parents to be available at the hall.
The fee for four club sessions a month is €15 per month, €35 for 3 months, €60 for 6 months or €100 for one year (our membership year runs from November to October).
The club sessions take place at the sportshall at Apostolos Andreas Gymnasium in Emba.

As of the 1st of March 2024 our Saturday session is full and we currently have a waiting list. Our Sunday session is still open for new members.
Tournaments
As part of the Cyprus Badminton Federation, we actively seek to participate in tournaments throughout the year. Each tournament is organised within the appropriate age groups: Under 11, Under 13 and so on. In addition, we organise fun tournaments with other clubs in Cyprus. We encourage our juniors to participate in such events, only as and when they are ready. Whilst it is competitive, it is also a lot of fun, a great team experience and helps understanding what is required to compete. It is expected that parents take turns in driving to these events and help with any practical issues on the day.
