What we offer

Structured badminton coaching that aligns with the Bronze, Silver and Gold Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) Awards, helping students improve technical skills, fitness, and personal development in a supportive environment.

​

Each individual will be assessed on their capabilities, and Gala Academy will provide a personalised learning journey matched to their ability, ensuring every participant is supported to progress at their own pace.
