Juniors 10 - 15 years old

Juniors

Junior Badminton Club

We return on 4th September 2010

the Club

Although we limit membership members to 20, there are, at this stage a few vacancies for new members, so if you know of anyone who would like to join, then please put them in contact with us or just bring them along on a Saturday.

The club is specially for 10-15 year olds girls and boys who can already play Badminton. Meeting at 10am until 12.00, on a Saturday morning at the PURChurch hall, they get involved in playing singles/doubles and various other fun games.

Fun is the word. We occasionally coach, but it has just as much of a social atmosphere for the children.

Boys/girls, just under 10 years will be accepted into the junior club, but only if they have the experience/talent, as they could be playing against 15 year olds that could be twice their height.

Any decisions regarding the running of the club will made by John Whittingham, or David Juster who share the weekly duties.

The Junior club will be returning to PURC in the Autumn.

Have a good summer.

April 2008
Recently, because of dwindling membership and poor attendance, we decided to publicise the junior club in the local paper.
"Badminton Club in crisis" We held an open day for new recruits, and several children liked the atmosphere and agreed to return. So we now have a more consistent attendance. Thank you to all that helped in bringing this about.
If any current members would like to bring
friends or relatives can they have words with whoever is on duty that day or e-mail a request in advance.

Subscription for the year, as from September works out at £27.00 or you can be pay per term.

Please if you want to join contact:- John/David via e-mail or telephone

Although numbers have increased and we have consistent regular players, we can always take on a few more members so if you have any brothers, sisters or friends aged 10 - 15, who may be interested in trying out badminton why not bring them along - they can come a couple of times before they need to decide whether they want to join!!

* 8/9 year olds will be considered if they show a talent for the game

Yes! Now we are on Facebook

Finally just a few basic RULES to remind you :-

Children may go for refreshments outside of the hall, but MUST get permission from whoever is on duty. As there is usually a coffee morning in the lounge then soft drinks and cakes maybe purchased, although eating sweets on court is forbidden.

Mobile phones can be left by the side of the court but either turned off or on silent. (We have experienced calls during play and that has interfered with the flow of the games.)

Whilst we don't require you to wear "white games kit" please make certain you wear sensible shoes and loose fitting clothing.

Sweets / food are all banned when playing on court.

We expect children to stay in the hall and not to run round the corridors of the church. (This is very important as there can often be people carrying pots of hot tea and coffee in the corridors.)
