Badminton in Haslemere for 16 and 17-year-olds
The Edge Monday Badminton Club is now welcoming youth badminton players aged 16 and 17 years old who live in Haslemere and the surrounding villages.
We were previously an adults-only Badminton Club, but we were keen to encourage young people to continue playing badminton beyond their secondary school years, so we've been working to put in place our own Safeguarding Policy, appointed our own Welfare Officer and followed guidance from Badminton England (the official national governing body for badminton in England) and we are now able to welcome anyone over 16 years old who can play badminton to the level of a reasonably experienced social player (see our "Monday Standard of Play" for details).
We play on Monday evenings between 8 and 10 pm at The Edge Leisure Centre, Woolmer Hill Road, Haslemere GU30 1QB (except for Public Holidays). We normally book between 4 and 6 courts and have between 16 and 30 players who attend each session. We have a wide age range across our membership, ranging from A-level students to those who are retired and everything in between.
Our Session Organiser helps organise a variety of doubles games amongst all players, so please be aware that most matches will be with our adult players.
If you're 16 or 17 years old and want to play fun, social badminton in a safe environment, then register to join the Edge Monday Badminton Club using the link in the top menu.
You will need a parent or guardian to help complete the Registration Form, but it is not neccessary for parents or guardians to play at the club or to stay for the club session (although parents/guardians are very welcome to join us too), provided they can arrange safe transport for the youth member, to and from The Edge on a Monday evening.
