Badminton
St. Raphaela’s has three badminton age groups that train every week. The age groups are U14, U16 and U19. Often there are several teams entered at each age group. There are four players on each team and six games are played in one match.
St. Raphaela's offers both competitive and non-competitive badminton teams. Having both competitive and non-competitive badminton teams is beneficial as it allows students of all skill levels to participate. Our competitive teams give advanced players a chance to challenge themselves and represent the school. While non-competitive teams offer an inclusive environment to enjoy the sport, build skills, and stay active without the pressure of competition.
Badminton is a great team sport that encourages camaraderie and tests individual nerve as well.
Practice days are Thursdays after school for non-competitive teams and Fridays after school for competitive teams.
