No Strings Badminton given a fresh new look and feel
Our national adult participation programme is designed to get anyone and everyone on court, playing badminton…no strings attached!
No Strings Badminton is Badminton England’s well-established national adult participation programme offering low-cost, no-commitment, fun, friendly and welcoming sessions at a range of different venues right across the country.
Our ten-year strategy champions badminton as ‘a sport for everyone’ and we want to be sure everyone knows and fully understands that our sport is very accessible and available to one and all. No Strings is a programme for anyone and, fully rebranded, it is unashamedly big and bold and designed to get all ages and all abilities on court!
You don’t need to sign up to badminton, five times a week, morning, noon and night – devote yourself to stepping on court throughout a busy winter or commit to a hit throughout a hectic summer of events. No Strings sessions are there for you when you want to play, when badminton can fit with your schedule.
No Strings can be there to keep you fit. No Strings can be there to develop your skills. No Strings can be there to help you compete. No Strings can be there to offer you opportunities to make friends, socialise and simply enjoy playing sport. No Strings is bringing a sport for everyone…to anyone who wants to pick up a racket.
No playing partner…No Strings has you covered. No racket…no problem for No Strings! No idea if you are good enough or even if you want to take up one of the most popular rackets sports in the country…No Strings has the answer, will welcome you and give you the taster you need.

No Strings Play
Just want to get on court and have a hit? The ‘Play’ programme is designed to cater to beginners, removing any barriers in place to bring badminton to a new participant. You can get to know the basics of badminton at a relaxed pace in a fun and friendly setting whenever it is most convenient for you.

No Strings Develop
Develop sessions are there to help you improve. If you want to hone your backhand smash or get better at moving around the court, your coach or co-ordinators can help you master some of the core skills involved in badminton.

No Strings Youth
While Shuttle Stars will cater to our junior badminton community, badminton has emerged as one of the most popular sports with a teenage audience. Due to be piloted in the new year and set to launch in the summer of 2025, No Strings Youth will be a place for young adults aged 12-17 to come together, have a hit and make new friends on court.
.
No Strings Compete
Sport is, in its essence, competitive. And many of our participants up and down the country want the opportunity to compete against one another – albeit in a social, friendly format where you can keep the score but it’s not win at all costs. No Strings Compete will be a format of the programme which can help you take the next step in your badminton journey…if you want to play in friendly competitions on court. This strand of the programme is set to be piloted in January and February before a launch in Spring 2025!
A Coordinator membership
No Strings Badminton has been running up and down the country for more than a decade and, in that time, more than 2,000 people have gained their ‘Coordinator’ credentials – giving them the opportunity to run No Strings sessions at their local venues. And we are launching a new No Strings Badminton Coordinator membership – free of charge for anyone who is an existing or aspiring Coordinator.
