It is that time of year again – The Big Hit is back.
The week-long celebration of everything badminton returns between September 21-28.
With kids heading back to school and students once again leaving for university, Badminton England’s club-focused festival aims to get more people than ever before taking part in the nation’s number one racket sport.
The festival not only aims to raise the profile of the game but also give a big boost to the grassroots level, as clubs welcome back members following the summer as well as introducing new players into the badminton family.
During The Big Hit Week, facilities up and down England will be opening their doors with access to a range of family events, outdoor badminton tournaments, social evenings, and even just the chance to hit a shuttlecock with a friend.
Ever wonder what’s badminton like?
We hear you! The BIG HIT starts tomorrow where you can have a go at it!
