What & Why Fixtures Friendly League News Links

Shuttlebusters promotes and organises badminton coaching and practice groups, plus starter and taster sessions so that anyone can learn to play, or improve their game if they already play. We also organise friendly matches and graded mini-tournaments. If you're a new to the site you probably want to view the Shuttlebusters intro page first.

If you'd like to join one of our Monday evening classes when there's a space, let us know (email is best as it's easier to keep track). The same goes if you want us to tell you when there's going to be a free taster or open evening or you want to register interest for Saturdays (or other evenings that might become available).

PRESTON :

Preston Sports Centre re-opened at the beginning of March so our evening classes missed only one month. There is building work still in progress and access to the sports hall from the car park is sometimes blocked - when that happens entry is through the front door of the school itself.

LATEST :

Our coaching night (evening classes) on Mondays at Preston are 7-8 pm for Beginners and 8-10 pm for Improvers. When the classes are full we do take names for joining later.

Our club night is Tuesdays 8-10 at Bucklers Mead. The entrance at Bucklers has been moved from the top of St John's Rd around the corner into St Michael's Ave - Google's satellite view and street view don't show the new flats or the new entrance but it's not too hard to find.

SUMMER :

During the summer we have friendly matches on Wednesdays and Thursdays at Westlands. To play these you need to contact us to book a place (see the Friendly Matches and Fixtures pages).

MORE :

The next thing is we're taking names for a new Beginners class at 3pm on Saturday afternoons in Yeovil. We need a minimum number of people interested before we can get it started, but we will start as usual with a free/open session for new starters. Let us know if you're interested, and if you know anyone who'd like to start playing badminton then let them know too.

We're offering Saturdays at present because we know that's when the courts and coach are available - there's been a Saturday club in Yeovil in the past and plenty of talk about reviving it, Other days and times might become available as well and if we know there's interest we can move much more quickly, so do let us know if this is something you'd like but you'd need a different evening.

We'll also add an Improvers group (with or without coaching) on Saturdays as soon as we get enough people for that, so let us know if that's something you'd want.

JUNIORS :

Although Shuttlebusters is for adults there are similar sessions available for younger players in Yeovil on Saturdays, suitable for different ages and levels of ability, whether for training or social play (with the same coach). Just ask and we'll pass your message on.
