Chew Valley Badminton Club has a thriving Junior section with players from 11 to 18 years old of all standards from complete beginners to county players. Please note we are only offering sessions for children of secondary school age for the Spring term 2026.
As well as high quality badminton coaching, the club offers juniors the opportunity to take part in competitive badminton suitable for their own level of development, from fun tournaments as part of the regular junior sessions, to local junior leagues with matches against other clubs, pathways to county badminton and regional and national tournaments.
Our coaching team is led by Will Mellersh.
Coaching sessions take place at Chew Valley leisure centre on Tuesdays at 7pm, and Saturdays and 9am, 10.30am and 12 noon.
Places must be pre-booked via the website shop.

Safeguarding
While children are at training sessions, they are the responsibility of the coaches while they are in the sports hall. Before they arrive in the hall and after they leave the hall, they are the responsibility of their parents or carers, so please ensure that your drop off and pick up arrangements are clear to everyone involved. All children must be brought to the hall and registered with a coach by a parent or carer, and collected from the hall by a parent or carer. Children must arrive on time for sessions, and a parent or carer must be there to collect them at least 5 minutes before the end of the session.
The Club Welfare Officer is Gene Joyner, who can be contacted at safeguarding@chewvalleybadmintonclub.org.uk.
Information about safeguarding can be found at the Badminton England website.
