Badminton Extra lessons/Tryouts

As we approach closer to the CESS tournament on April 24th, I wanted to offer some extra lessons to better prepare a team. In doing so, I have opted to conduct a match-play scenario for the students to experience the real-life ups and downs of sports competitions. Similar to previous years, so far the students appear to be taking this path in qualifying for the team quite seriously, and all have heightened their level of focus, play, and enthusiasm regardless of the result. 

Although these months are geared towards building a team for CESS, my philosophy has always been promoting this sport to allow the students to learn and play for a lifetime of great health and enjoyment. Regardless if your child has registered or not during this regular season, this is open to all middle students, and I invite all those who want to take on this experience to sign up on the Google sheet.

There are limited dates of availability, and I will do what I can to include all the students to further learn new skills and experience this exciting vesting process. Simply input your student’s name and show up! You may join on any one or all of the times available, but please take note of any possible cancellations.  

There are no fees for the events on these dates.
