Badminton is easy to learn, fun, sociable, and a great way for children of all abilities to keep active. Badminton can be played in singles or doubles and is a fun, sociable and competitive game.
Badminton is an excellent game for physical development. Intensive movement will help to keep participants in great shape, as badminton is among the three most energy-intensive game sports and is considered as the fastest sport in the world!
Badminton is considered as a non-contact sport, in which there is no direct interaction between the players as well as no extreme loads on the ligaments and joints.
We can offer a safe place to play racket sports, get fit and have fun!

By using our service you can be confident that students will understand basic gymnastics, including; shapes, skills and routines. Students will be supported in the development of new skills through dynamic pulse raising, strength and flexibility exercises within a fun environment.
The regular attendance of a weekly gymnastics class shows children that if they commit to something, hard work and dedication can pay off. Gymnastics is also a challenging sport which requires concentration - a trait that can be challenged into everyday life, in particular within the schoolroom. There are rules and codes of conduct that must be followed which helps children to learn about safety and teaches them to respect others.
Success in the London Olympics 2012 brought gymnastics to the forefront, and its positive influence on children is becoming widely apparent ever since.
We offer a safe place to take part in gymnastics, get fit and have fun. Follow an award scheme or we can cater to your students’ needs and abilities.
