Development Programmes
The Racket Pack
The Racket Pack is Badminton England’s exciting new primary school resource. The programme provides fun, skill based sessions, where 5-11 year olds can learn and play Badminton. With awards to collect and characters to follow (Smash, Tink, Flo and Wise) players can give it a go in schools, leisure centres and junior clubs. The programme content is provided through an online platform for teacher, schools, clubs and coaches to access technical videos and session plans. Programme provides two modules of six weekly lesson plans across both key stage 1 &2 and a new club module is under development.
