Primary Schools Badminton Competition for Years 5 & 6

We are happy to announce that Manawatu Badminton will be hosting the first ever Manawatu Year 5 & 6 Badminton Competition.

At this stage it will take place in the second term at Arena 3 and will involve only ten or eleven targeted schools that we are able to visit in the first term with our new school badminton programme called 'Shuttle Kidz'

We hope that by next year we will be able to expand the competition and introduce basic skills to more schools in the region.

Teams will consist of two boys or two girls and when two teams play each other the match is called a tie.

A tie involves two games of singles and one game of doubles.

There will be be two ties per session which means every player will get 4 games on each thursday of the competition.
