STAR Beginner Program
Designed for children who are new to playing a sport or new to playing badminton.
The focus of the training is to teach the fundamentals of badminton, the rules of the game, applicable badminton terminologies, and basic skill sets. SBA will be committed to improving students’ game skills and building confidence to compete. Students are not only improving badminton skills but also building life skills.
