Performance Badminton

If you’re successful in trials, you’ll represent BU in British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS), leagues and trophy competitions. We have both men’s and women’s teams who make up TeamBU Badminton.

TeamBU Club Badminton

Our TeamBU Badminton Club is one of the most popular here at Talbot Campus, suitable for intermediate players with previous badminton experience. Led by our Performance Coach, Martin Wells (below), this is the first step on the development pathway to Bournemouth University’s Performance Team, but is also for those who like coaching and competitive match play on a weekly basis.

Campus Social Club

Available on a pay-and-play basis, our Campus Social Club sessions are suitable for players of all abilities; the focus is on having a fun and friendly hit and meeting new people.
