Badminton

Hello and welcome to the Badminton Club at The University of Leeds. We are a vibrant, friendly and social club, welcoming players of all standards - including those completely new to the game.

We run social badminton sessions twice a week as well as team training, club tournaments, friendly matches and social events throughout the year.

The badminton club is always welcoming new members whatever their ability! If you’re interested in joining please get in contact or join us on Facebook, twitter and instagram.

We are proud to announce that this 2020/21 season we will continue to run an elite training facility for our top players. This will entail 3 additional high quality coaching sessions with our excellent coach: Tom Millbank. Players selected to participate in this programme by our coach will also receive strength and conditioning sessions and tailered fitness programmes.
