About the club

Smash & Chill Badminton Club

SCBC is where most people meet Velocity for the first time. It is a badminton club built to be easy to walk into: if you have never held a racket, there is a session for you, and if you want to compete, there is a route to that too, under the same coaching standards.

From a first-ever rally to competitive tournament play, SCBC runs coached sessions for teens and adults right through the week.

Common questions

Before your first session

Do I need my own racket?

No. Bring indoor trainers and we will sort you out for your first few sessions while you decide whether badminton is for you.

I have never played before. Is that a problem?

Not at all. Casual play and training sessions are grouped by ability, so beginners are never thrown in against experienced players.

Can my teenager and I both join?

Yes. Training 12 to 18 and the adult sessions run under the same club, so families often attend on the same evening.
