Welcome to Abbey Badminton Club
St Albans | Bushey | Hemel | Watford | Elstree
We are a friendly, community-run badminton club in Hertfordshire, welcoming juniors and adults of all abilities, from complete beginners to experienced, competitive players. Our junior badminton sessions in St Albans, Watford, and surrounding areas focus on developing skills, improving fitness, and deepening understanding of the sport all while having fun. Adult badminton sessions are mainly game play, but our coaches are always on hand to share tips and help you improve.
Founded in 2008 and affiliated with Badminton England, we began with just one junior session on two courts each week. Today, we run junior coaching at multiple locations across Hertfordshire every weekday after school and throughout the day on Sundays. Adult play sessions are available in St Albans on Sundays and Watford on Mondays, with adult coaching available at other times and venues in the area.
We are proud to be a non-profit badminton club run entirely for the enjoyment of our members. While not a registered charity, we operate on a not-for-profit basis; every penny goes back into running the club, maintaining equipment, booking courts, and supporting our players. There are no shareholders, and no one takes personal profit. Our aim is simple: to make badminton in Hertfordshire affordable, accessible, and enjoyable for everyone.
In addition to our group sessions, we offer 1-to-1 and private group badminton coaching in St Albans, Watford, and nearby towns, tailored to your goals whether that’s improving a specific skill, boosting your match performance, or simply enjoying the game more.
Our juniors compete in the Aylesbury Junior League, and our adult teams play in the South West Herts Badminton League.
For more details or to book onto any of our sessions, visit our JUNIORS or ADULTS pages and discover why we’re one of the most welcoming places to play badminton in St Albans, Watford, and across Hertfordshire.

My kids loved it. They said “it felt like a big happy family.” As a parent, I was totally at ease knowing that my kids were safe, happy, would be guided to behave appropriately, learn something new and have lots of fun. There aren’t many (or any other camps I’ve come across) that provide an all-rounded, wholesome experience! We HIGHLY recommend.

I really enjoyed playing badminton and practicing my shots. The coach was really friendly and the best part of the day were all the different games we played!

I loved the games that we played especially the one where we had to try and shoot the shuttles above the coaches head. I was so happy that I got a medal for that!

My girls loved the camp! We have heard about badminton camp all afternoon then when dad got home, we got the whole story again!! ❤️ They are insisting on attending the weekly sessions instead of biking!
