What we’re about
Established in 2009 using Facebook as the platform, we have players from all around the world. We use good quality feather shuttlecocks. We limit the number of players for each session to avoid overcrowding. We are an inclusive club, so we welcome players of all levels as we have specific sessions for different levels. Our aim is to provide a platform for everyone, who shares the passion for badminton. So everyone can now enjoy badminton...
• If you are a fresh player or beginner, we can teach and coach you;
• If you've played for a few years already but still don't feel confident, we can help you improve and get to the next level;
• If you are a highly skilful, advanced player, we can certainly challenge you in competitive games.

Beginners / low intermediate players may be asked to leave without refund if level is unsuitable. All other sessions are open to all levels.

We use Playwaze (the only way) to manage club session booking and payment. Please go to the link below to book. Make sure you check the date you want to attend and book and pay for the correct date (FYI, we are not a sports centre and do not hire courts for your own personal use. Sometimes sessions may change due to venue closure etc, but the events on Playwaze are the most up-to-date).
Do not book via Meetup as it charges every booking additional fee. We use Meetup for promotional purpose only.
Please bring your own racket. If required, racket is available for hire at a small fee of £3. Please contact Brian Ng if you need one.
The club provides training and coaching sessions to players looking to learn the right techniques or improve their game play. Players get tailored training and attention in a small group.
Private coaching (1-to-1, 2-to-1 or 3-to-1) (singles or doubles) or competition-focus training can be arranged directly with Brian Ng.
Junior badminton lessons are available on Sundays during school term. For more information on junior badminton, please go to LCWBC Junior Badminton Facebook Group or email: lcwbcjuniors@gmail.com
