MGS & YMCA Badminton Clubs

Hey everyone, a few changes happen this time of year at our Tuesday club. Details are below ⬇️

The sports hall at MGS is NOW CLOSED until July to allow the GCSE examinations to take place for the students. Please don’t turn up to MGS as it will be a wasted journey otherwise 😬

May & June 2026 we are playing our club nights at the girls grammer MGGS on Monday night’s 😁

Venue - Maidstone Grammer School for Girls, Buckland Road, ME16 0SF.

Time - 7:45pm-9:45pm (Normal time)

Cost - £5 a session (Cash or transfer)

A gate code is required for you to enter the site, which I will send to you privately.

Any new players which want to join us at MGGS & then move back with us to our usual venue at MGS are very welcome to do so. Please get in contact if you are interested in joining us.

YMCA is still on as normal Friday nights 7-9pm.

Kind regards, George Coffey.

When you play sports, you enter a different world.
For a little while, you forget the stress, the noise, and all your worries. All that matters is the game.

You focus. You give it your all.
You smile when you get it right.
You stay strong when you make a mistake. You feel proud when you win—and even when you don’t, you know you tried your best.

After the game, you feel lighter, stronger, and ready to face life again. Sports don’t just help your body—they heal your mind. They give you energy, confidence, and peace.

Not everyone sees it, but sports can truly save your mental health. So keep playing. Keep showing up. Because every time you do, you become a better, stronger version of yourself. ❤️

Hey club members, another fantastic tournament last week at MGS!

Tuesday 31st March marked our first one of the year in 2026. Single’s & double’s categories were played, with single’s proving popular to play & to spectate to make a great atmosphere 😁

Single’s - Congratulations to Ryan who won the single’s, beating me 21-16 & 21-19 in the final 🥳

Double’s - Congratulations to Phil & Uma who won the doubles title for the first time at MGS 🥳

Enjoy the Odeon vouchers! I’ve been told the latest blockbuster Project Hail Mary is on the cards 🍿

Big thanks to everyone who attended & supported this event. Next tournament will be in June 2026.

If you are interested in joining our clubs at MGS and/or the YMCA, please get in touch for details!

Kind regards,
