We are a small team of badminton coaches and volunteers who have played badminton for years and are dedicated to creating a fun, safe and inclusive environment for learning how to play and socialise through badminton.

” Through Shuttle Academy, I aim to help individuals unlock their potential, build confidence, and take meaningly steps towards realising their dreams on court. I believe physical activity is the cornerstone of mental, physical and social wellbeing. Badminton offers more than just fitness – it builds resilience, sharpens focus, and fosters lifelong friendships, while being a whole lot of fun!”
