Hampshire County Junior Badminton Squad trains at Westgate Badminton Centre throughout the year on a Sunday morning. The sessions are run by Mark Peckham (Head Coach) and are designed to improve skills, footwork and fitness. During each 2 hours session, players typically do an hour of shot practice and fitness drills followed by match practise, but this can vary from week to week.

Session Times

09.00 – 11.00 – Session 1, as per coach’s selection
11.00 – 13.00 – Session 2, as per coach’s selection

Hampshire Junior teams compete in the County Shires League. In the 2025/26 season, Hampshire had two teams, in the U15/16 and U18/19 age groups. For more information about the league and for results click below.
