Juniors/Kids

BC Zurich is THE place to go in the city for children’s badminton training. We offer training for all age categories (from 7 years) and levels of play; for beginners, advanced players and also for those who are really serious – our experienced team of coaches around Andrew Dabeka will be happy to look after your child and teach badminton with a high fun factor. In addition to our own programme, we also organise semester and holiday sports courses in cooperation with the Sportamt ZH.
