Hi Aaron,



Question: Where can I learn Badminton?



Answer: You can learn Badminton by

(1) Joining a club that offers coaching, or

(2) Finding a coach to teach you privately.



If you wish to join a club coaching session, you will need to go to where the club is located.

If you wish to be coached privately, you can get your coach to come to your preferred location/venue.



Currently, I am doing the coaching for CCC Badminton Club. The club coaching sessions are conducted on Sunday mornings at MSAC, Albert Park. The court hiring is organised by the club



I am also available for private coaching at a venue of the trainee's choice. Here, the court booking/hiring is organised by the trainee.

Hi Chris, how much does it cost to join the Sunday coaching? I am really interested.

Do you offer a student discount as well?

Chris' coaching course is a structured program, with 20 chapters involved. And the Chapter of the Week is taught in a strict order of application. The session is conducted in a formal learning environment.[/color]
