Badminton

Badminton is a totally inclusive activity, whether you are young or old, disabled or non-disabled, and from whatever background. It’s easy to take up, fun to play and is an extremely social sport.  It’s enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of people in England each year – in 2008,  badminton was recognised as the biggest participation racket sport in the country.

There are six badminton courts in the sports hall at Medina Leisure Centre. Coaching courses are also run for all ages and abilities – call the leisure centre for more information when courses are run. Advance booking is recommended.
