If you don't mind travelling, there is a good 12-week course conducted by SBA -> http://www.singaporesports.sg/SCSD

Or you could go to http://one.pa.gov.sg/CRMSPortal/CRMSPortal.portal to search for CCs courses near your place. These are usually recurring monthly courses so once you find out the regular day/ time, drop by and take a look to assess for yourself whether it is good (some might have too many students).

Assess your kid interest with the above options. If he/she is keen on the sports after a few sessions and you want him/her to be a very good player, then consider getting personal/private coaching or joining a Badminton Academy. Most schools have Badminton CCAs too.

hi sharon1234,
You can check from the SBA website that he is an Accredited Coach. Note that he would have other coaches helping him especially if the class size is big.
I believe this is a monthly recurring course, so the best way to find out is to drop by and take a look for yourself before signing your child up. Take note of the class size (and no of courts available) and how the coaches teach especially the younger kids/ beginners.

Thanks for pointing out the SBA website.

You are welcome.

FYI, there is a good 12-week beginner course by SBA -> http://www.singaporesports.sg/SCSD

When my ds attended it, the ratio of coaches to trainees was good (6 coaches to 20+ kids). It was held in North Vista Primary School (not sure if the venue will change for future courses) with 4 badminton courts.

Yes, it's confirmed (unless there's 2 Welly Tjia in Singapore). Please go to

http://www.singaporebadminton.org.sg/Coaches/AccreditatedCoaches.aspx

His name is in the list when you click \"Level 2\"

Please note that his name is also found in other CC courses

How old is your kid? The CC course is okay for a start (depending on the coach-trainee ratio) but you would need to have extra practice in order to progress fast ... either on your own (with adults good in badminton) or school CCA or badminton academy or personal coaches.

Thanks coaches. I see his name now.

thanks for sharing.

Hi! My son aged 11 is interested to play badminton socially on regular basis but he can’t find boys of similar age to play with him. We stay near Novena/Toa Payoh area. Any of your boys interested?
