We are delighted to announce the launch of Badminton coaching sessions at Xcite Craigswood, following their successful launch earlier this year at Xcite Broxburn.
From 6th November, children aged 5 -11 can come along on Wednesdays from 16:00 (see specific class times below) to learn how to play badminton, or develop their skills if they already know the basics.
Badminton is a social sport; kids will make new friends whilst improving their physical fitness. Beyond the obvious benefits of getting participants running, jumping and encouraging exercise as part of a healthy lifestyle , badminton will improve hand-to-eye coordination, problem-solving and decision-making skills, communication, team-working and so much more. Exercise helps to reduce stress levels, so can be a great way for children to relax after a busy day at school.
With the nights drawing in, it can be tricky to keep children active as the weather gets cooler – our coaching sessions are a brilliant solution to this problem.
If your child would like to try badminton before making the decision to join a class, we are offering free taster sessions at Broxburn. You can find out more about our taster sessions here
You can book your child into Craigswood classes now – contact Xcite reception in person or on 01506 237940. Why not sign them up to an Academy+ membership to get access to 6 different coaching sports, plus general swimming access, golf and more?
