Badminton at TGS
Badminton is a popular and fast-growing sport at TGS with a busy training and competition schedule throughout the year. We encourage participation at all levels and have goals for our competitive teams to rank amongst the top North Harbour schools. We aim to provide a vibrant and challenging environment for all our players.
Training and coaching sessions are run throughout Terms 2 and 3 in the TGS Sports Hall. Experienced players with match play skills will be considered for competitive teams for entry in the North Harbour inter-school competitions.
Teams entry is subject to sufficient player numbers and parent/helper availability to transport teams, as school transport is not provided.
Senior competitive teams play inter-school competitions in Term 2 and juniors playing at a reasonable level will also be considered for these teams. If numbers allow, competitive junior teams can be entered in term 3.
The weekly inter-school competition nights are held during Terms 2 and 3 at North Harbour Badminton or Active Badminton in Albany. Teams generally require a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 6 players.
Individual & Doubles Championship tournaments are available to players of a high calibre at both senior and junior level. Tournaments are an additional cost.
Social badminton is played on site in the Sports Hall, and has become very popular amongst both new and experienced players. Registration for social badminton is required
