Once you have found your feet and enjoy that regular match down at your local badminton club, there are ways to take it to the next level. These popular senior tournament circuits are nationwide and are formed into five tiers. These are Social; Tier 4; Bronze; Silver and Gold. They provide access to any player looking for a more competitive game with opportunties to really perform and improve. National ranking points are awarded in each tournament entered. Players are given their grading after competing in their first tournament – this helps to guide them to the next most appropriate tournaments to sign up for.
There is also the no strings badminton compete programme which is purely a social competition and this doubles badminton competition gives NSB players an opportunity to test their playing skills against other no strings players. The emphawsis here is to offer a competition programme to have fun, to socialise and play better level badminton rather than just beating your competition.
The no strings brand starts with 8 week coached courses and then there is the youth programme for players aged 12-17. From there comes the seniors from 18 years and upwards.
