FastStep Summer Sundays – matchplay sessions

summer_sundaysDuring July and August we’re holding some casual matchplay sessions for Elite/Stars level players on Sundays as an extra to the mid-week coaching sessions.

The sessions will be at the Dolphin or Triangle on Sundays depending on court availability. Duration and number of courts will depend on popularity, but we’ll aim for 2 courts for 2 hours to start with.

So here’s how it works

1. follow us on Facebook to find details of the next session
2. come along and bring other strong players (young or old) with you if you like
3. pay £2 (approx) to cover court and shuttles
4. play badminton!

A few notes…

  • There isn’t any coaching at these sessions – just time to put that coaching into practise!
  • FastStep members are welcome to bring guests of a good standard to these sessions
  • Players under 16 years old must be accompanied by a parent or guardian (who can either play or watch).

The first FastStep Summer Sundays are as follows

6th July @ Dolphin LC 5-6pm (extended to 7pm if enough players attend).
13th July @ Dolphin LC 5-6pm (extended to 7pm if enough players attend).
20th July @ Dolphin LC 5-6pm (extended to 7pm if enough players attend).
27th July @ Dolphin LC 5-6pm (extended to 7pm if enough players attend).
10th August @ Dolphin LC 5-6pm (extended to 7pm if enough players attend).
17th August @ Dolphin LC 5-6pm (extended to 7pm if enough players attend).
24th August @ Dolphin LC 5-6pm (extended to 7pm if enough players attend).

If you are coming to a session, it would help us if you either comment on Facebook or drop Andrew a quick email
