Do I need to be good at badminton?

Not at all! Most sessions are mixed ability and welcoming to everyone. Whether you're just getting back into badminton, play regularly, or haven't picked up a racket in years – you'll find sessions suited to your level.

Bring comfortable sports clothing, non-marking indoor court shoes, and water. Many venues and clubs provide shuttles and sometimes spare rackets, but it's worth checking with the organiser. If you have your own racket, bring it along.
