Badminton North Harbour – School Badminton Programme
Badminton North Harbour, through our Development Officer, Rivenski Alexander, delivers engaging badminton programmes to schools across the North Harbour region.
Our programmes are based around the Badminton World Federation (BWF) Shuttle Time Programme, which is designed to cater for students of all ages and abilities.
Introducing badminton into your school supports the importance of children leading healthy, active and positive lifestyles, both in and outside of school.
Shuttle Time
Shuttle Time provides fun, engaging and inclusive badminton lessons that give students the opportunity to:
- Develop fundamental movement and badminton skills
- Be active and have fun
- Work and interact with others
- Build confidence and experience success
- Develop a positive attitude towards physical activity and badminton
Shuttle Time also provides teachers with access to free resources, training and equipment, supporting them to deliver enjoyable, safe and inclusive badminton activities for children aged 5–17 years.
