Welcome to Badminton Scotland

National Governing Body of the Scottish Badminton Community Our Vision: To be the biggest participation sport in Scotland by bringing people and communities together through badminton.  Badminton Scotland is responsible for the development of the sport in Scotland. We believe that there are a number of activities that will help us to achieve this. While our core activities represent much of what we do on a day-to-day basis, we are also very aware of our contribution to people’s everyday life. We recognise our role and responsibilities with regard to the health and wellbeing of all Scottish communities.

Serving our Badminton Community since 1911

A popular sport throughout the World, badminton has been and continues to be central to the Scottish sporting landscape. While the Scottish climate lends itself to the popularity of badminton, the sport safely appeals to 7 and 70 year olds alike. Easy access to a badminton court throughout the country and a tradition of Schools badminton means that almost every Scot has played, plays or will play our sport. Badminton Scotland is ready to serve all.

Badminton Scotland offers support via schools programmes, age group coaching and resources such as “how to” guides, as well as information on safeguarding and regulation.
