St John’s School, Pinner

 

We have been delighted with the after-school badminton club provided at St John’s School Northwood over the past two years. The team are highly professional, reliable, and enthusiastic, offering engaging sessions that our pupils thoroughly enjoy. Their support to the school has been excellent, and the club has been a valuable addition to our co-curricular programme.

Holiday Playscheme for Children by Home Group, Harrow

 

We invited Gala Academy to deliver sessions at the Beacon Centre during our summer playscheme, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. All staff were professional, friendly, and engaging throughout. The children had the opportunity to learn a new sport, with many trying badminton for the very first time. The sessions were not only well-structured and supportive, but also filled with fun and energy, keeping every child involved. It was a fantastic addition to our programme, and we would highly recommend their coaching for any children’s activities or community events.

Gala Academy have been fantastic with our pupils. The children genuinely look forward to attending the Badminton club after school on Fridays. The Academy brings a wonderful blend of humour and deep expertise in the sport, which really resonates with all the participants. From an administrative perspective, they are a pleasure to work with—efficient, responsive, and supportive—which makes my role significantly easier.

Level 1 Coach at Gala Academy

 

It has been a pleasure to coach at Gala for the past year, both assisting the elite group on a Sunday and running a foundation group on a Tuesday. The teaching syllabus is strong, the advice and guidance from Raj and Parool has been brilliant and I have had the opportunity to assist and learn from a level 2 coach for my entire coaching journey, picking up and honing new skills. They have constantly pushed me towards new qualifications and experience allowing me to see a wide range of coaching techniques and students, helping me to expand my coaching repertoire constantly.

'Yes the coaches seemed well organised and enthusiastic. The children were quite energised in the small groups! Would be good to have them back'.  The children also really enjoyed it. We will definitely be in contact with you same time next year to deliver again.

Really enjoyed working with the coaches from Gala Academy. They have been incredible with supporting and teaching the young people, adapting to their needs and working cooperative. We would highly recommend working with Gala if you are looking for  reliable, friendly and great coaches to teach badminton to your community.
