Group Lessons

Drive Badminton offers classes for players of all ages and skill levels. Before students are placed into the group lessons of choice, there will be a 10-15 minute assessment with our coach to ensure all the students are placed in the correct classes. Groups will run on a minimum of 4 students and a maximum of 6 students per coach.  In the situation where there are less than 4 students for a group lesson to be started, Drive Badminton will accommodate those students in private classes. Please inquire about this with Drive Badminton staff members.
