Doncaster Junior Badminton Club

Donaster Junior Badminton Club, based in South Yorkshire is run by volunteers out of a local school sports hall. The club which is the only club in the area affiliated to Badminton England aims to provide junior badminton to all, from beginners to county level, and regardless of gender, ability or any handicap.

The club is currently looking to encourage more children from the primary school age range to take up the sport. Coaching members of the club already voluntarily go into local secondary schools to give lessons and enhance PE departments.

The Cash 4 Clubs sports grant of £500 was awarded to the club to enable them to purchase more equipment and replace old, worn items. This will allow them to offer more classes to more junior members who are becoming interested in the sport.

"Doncaster Junior Badminton Club is delighted with the Cash 4 Clubs award. It will allow us to buy much needed replacement shuttlecocks and special junior rackets, needed to extend our teaching in the 8 years and younger age range. With this quality equipment, we aim to extend our grass roots plans and encourage a new generation of badminton players for the future."
