Grading System

Why is this getting introduced?

As the club has grown over the years with more and more people playing badminton, the range of skills and ability of our club has also naturally increased, resulting in some players feeling unmotivated with the level of games they are set up with on club nights. Our club does not currently have a robust or objective system in place to assess when players are ready to move up a grade to play more challenging games in order to upskill their games.

What’s in it for you?

By having a more objective process to grading, it will hopefully mean you play more challenging and enjoyable games when you come along to club nights. Having this new process will also foster greater transparency in our system and players knows exactly what they need to work on in order to move up a grade. 

What are the changes?

Here are a few initiatives we would like to try this year to see if it works for our club and our players in terms of our grading system. A recent survey has shown more than 50% of the respondents feels they should be playing in a higher grade than the one they are currently in and a large portion of respondents have no idea what grade they are currently playing in.
