Australian Badminton Academy

Competitive Pathway · Ages 12–18 · Sydney

Junior Badminton Squads in Sydney

Competitive squad training for developing juniors, from improver groups to elite squad and tournament play. The pathway that has produced state and national players for 20+ years, under Olympian leadership.

The squad pathway

01

Improver squads

For juniors who've outgrown a beginner class and want to train with purpose: sharper footwork, cleaner strokes, and their first taste of structured match play.

02

Competitive squad

Higher-volume training with tactical coaching, strength and movement work, and regular match play, preparing players for school, club and state competition.

03

Elite pathway

The top end of the academy, developing players toward representative and national-level badminton: the route our champions have taken for over two decades.

How to join

Squad placement is based on a short assessment so every player lands in the right group. Tell us about your junior’s age, experience and goals and we’ll arrange a trial. New to the academy? Start on the junior program and progress from there.
