Having not played regular Badminton for 18 mths I was somewhat reticent about attending a weekend of full on Badminton. It was actually the best way to get back into the game. It is all about getting the strokes correct and the pace was not intense. It was like learning how to play over again. I feel a lot more confident now about playing at club level, my backhand is better and I can move more confidently to the back of the court. Hi Paul and Angie About three years ago I attended a weekend course as an ok club intermediate player; nothing more. In my early 60s I knew I could no longer rely just on fitness and needed greater tactical awareness. Tony, many thanks for your kind comments and many congratulations on implementing so well that you've transformed your game. I am delighted for you This was my second time attending Paul's course and I learned a lot, from refining some of the basics to some of the more advanced techniques. Paul and the coaches are very knowledgable and will always have so much time for you. Thoroughly recommended if you want to improve your game. Catered for every standard. Paul and the team helped me to revisit the skills I had and helped me to regain confidence in playing. Will definitely go again! Thanks Paul, the weekend was fantastic, There was a lot of information , lots to take in lots to do, so definitely value for money. It was a pleasure to meet and coach you. Your desire to learn will help you apply the new techniques. Keep practicing grip changes whilst in lockdown as it will help. Hopefully you'll find some room to practice your throwing technique too. I have attended several courses now and would highly recommend. Paul and his team of coaches not only have a wealth of knowledge and experience but they are really helpful and approachable as well. I defy anyone to come away from a weekend without at least half a dozen things to try that will improve their game - sometimes just tiny little things that can make a really big difference, or a phrase or way of explaining something that gives you one of those lightbulb moments. I have really enjoyed the training and will definitely come again. The experience was brilliant! In the space of 2 days a lot of lessons has been covered which is really beneficial for those who want to develop their technique and performance. The course made me aware of the bad habits which important in improving performance. I highly recommend the course. The venue Lilleshall was great. Excellent facility and accommodation. Paul and his team were amazing, very helpful and supportive. The team really pushed the attendees to improve themselves. They provided excellent coaching and feedback. I'm in the plan of attending another session in the future. It's always a delight to coach players at Lilleshall. You made great progress over the weekend and i look forward to seeing you again in the future.
The ratio of coaches to pupils is very good and I have lots of information to work on. The video library is an excellent revision and I will going back again to reinforce the learning. You will learn a lot in a weekend. Highly recommended.
I enjoyed the weekend so much. It was quite demanding physically and that I enjoyed too. I learnt lots and as you say, to be slowly introduced into play. I'm receiving a few expletives in response to my much improved serve!
The location was stunning, such a relaxing atmosphere at Lilleshall. Best of all was the team that made it all happen. Great organizing by Paul and Angie, and excellent coaches.
Since then I have, in my age group, won regional and national tournaments in Spain (where I live) - Men’s doubles and Mixed - with a national ranking of first and third, respectively.
The course lifted my games several levels!
I appreciated the clear demonstrations and the time coaches spent with us ensuring we understood the techniques.
I am looking forward to the chance to apply the learning of the various areas like racquet grip, and the various shot techniques and the tips to remembering and applying the techniques tactics on the final part of the last day were very informative too.
Stewart and Dom were great coaches too thanks to the team
Thanks also to Angie keeping us updated with information up to the last minute in case of any changes.
I would highly recommend the course - 5-stars all the way.
