Then we build a tailored training schedule taking into account your strengths, your weaker areas, and the goals you want to attain. By creating sessions that suit you, we help you to develop the game style you want to play. BADMINTON BODY, BADMINTON MIND Your Joel Gayle coach is a qualified sports trainer.

GROUP COACHING
Build team spirit, raise the game for your whole club or simply book to train in a more realistic gameplay scenario. The Joel Gayle group coaching service is ideal for players of all levels looking to improve their game alongside others, and for corporate team/skills building packages. We use a tailored session model to get the best out of you and your fellow players.
DEDICATED TEACHING FOR 2-6 PLAYERS
At the Joel Gayle School of Badminton, we coach groups of 2-6 players. Keeping the class size down allows your coach to dedicate an equal amount of time to every player in the group, and to get all the players progressing without leaving anyone behind. Larger groups can be taught by special arrangement. BEST FOOT FORWARD We teach you the most effective use of footwork you’ll need to maximise your ability to cover all four corners of the court. We put your footwork in place to give you a strong foundation to build from. And we modify or correct existing footwork to make sure you’re moving in a way that uses your natural attributes and style. MORE THAN JUST MOVES We teach, modify and correct all the core skills – the shots, the strokes and techniques. Then we perfect them. We’ll fine-tune your flick and deliver your drive. SESSIONS CREATED FOR YOU Our tailored group sessions aim to give every group member an equal opportunity to develop his or her skills, and move closer to the goals he or she wants to achieve. |
We’ll start by looking at where you’re at, and finding out where you want to be. Then we’ll take you there. From first-timer to international, our group sessions are designed to train classes of roughly equal ability – giving you the right environment in which to grow.
MULTI-DISCIPLINE TACTICAL DEVELOPMENT Singles, Doubles, Mixed Doubles – whatever the discipline, we’ll show you the tactics and techniques that will put you one step ahead. Our group sessions address tactical development for all three badminton disciplines: ideal for developing a rounded understanding of your game. This is one of the reasons why Joel Gayle group coaching is so good for team building and corporate badminton. REAL-WORLD DRILLS WITH EVENLY MATCHED PARTNERS We endeavour to keep all group sessions to even numbers, which allows us to develop realistic playing drills to help you reach your goals. We call these “working routines” – drills set with other players to help you understand the skill in the context of actual gameplay. Want to know more? Call Joel Gayle on 07908 959 570 or contact us today. |
