Welcome to Badminton
Welcome to the University of Leeds Badminton Society!
We are a vibrant, friendly and active society, welcoming players of all standards - including those completely new to the game. With regular socials you will soon make loads of new friends!
We run social badminton sessions twice a week, where you just have to get the student membership and sign up to our session on Spond (instructions on Instagram). We also provide club tournaments and social events throughout the year.
We are proud to announce that this 2024/25 season we will continue to run an elite training facility for our top players. This will entail 4-5 additional high quality coaching sessions with our excellent coach Tom Milbank.
