THE 'WHO ARE WE?' BIT
We are a thriving society catering for members of all abilities who share the love of badminton. Competitive or social, we are willing to intake all new members.
We have 2 men's teams, 1 women's team and 2 Mixed Teams
Our committee consist of 9 members, all responsible for accommodating you in the club.
PERFORMANCE SQUAD
Performance squads are sessions for competitive play consisting of all players on the teams
Players will receive 2 training sessions a week with dedicated coaching by Man (M1, M2, and W1 ONLY)
Our performance squad players have the amazing opportunity to play in the annual BUCS Nationals Sheffield competition, alongside events such as Varsity.
Sessions every week are as follows;
> Monday 20:00-22:00 Bay Campus Sports Hall (M1, M2, W1 ONLY)
> Thursday 18:00-20:00 pm Bay Campus Sports Hall (M1, M2, W1 ONLY)
Development Squad:
Our Mixed Teams offer the chance for players to develop in a more competitive environment and have the opportunity to represent the University in the Swansea Local League. This a great building platform for less experienced players before playing for our Performance Teams.
We have two Mixed Teams: A + B, Each one comprising of Squads of 8(4 Women and 4 Men) each game 6 will represent the uni in matches. This is design to allow players to rotate and be able to miss a game if they are unavailable without affecting the team's ability to play a fixture.
INTRAMURALS
Our intramural sessions are one of the largest playing groups within the University.
These sessions are designed for social and casual playing, ran by our two intramural captains Jacob
Not only are these more casual playing sessions, but they are also mixed with light training for anyone wishing to receive feedback on their play, with support from some of our squad members.
Intramural members this year will have 2 sessions a week;
> Tuesday 8-10pm Bay Campus
> Sunday 12:00 -14:00 Singleton Campus
SOCIALS
Our Socials this year are run by Issie and Fin. They have promised nights of laughs, fun and games with all sorts in mind. Socials are open to anyone and everyone!
We will be running drinking Socials every Wednesday officially , and sober socials at many points in the year too, but there is no telling what else our Social Secs have planned!
