What is Have A Go Day?
NO BADMINTON EXPERIENCE NEEDED.
We're opening the courts and inviting the community in. All six courts run at once — jump into whatever you like and move on when you're ready. Whether you want to get the kids active over the long weekend, or you're a social player looking to get back into it, this morning is for you.
​
Our coaching team runs short sessions all morning, and the other courts run continuously, so you can jump straight into a rally whenever you're ready.
Free coaching tasters
Short coached sessions — a junior court and an adult court, running all morning.
Shuttle Cannons
Take your shot at our shuttle cannons. Rack up points, prizes up for grabs.
On-court challenges
Games, targets, and mini competitions throughout the morning.
