Shuttle Smash is Badminton Australia’s official beginner program for children aged 5-12. It is designed to help children learn badminton in a fun, safe and confidence‑building environment.

Each session uses age‑appropriate activities that teach balance, movement, coordination, and basic badminton skills through games and guided play. Leaders complete a national training course and follow structured session plans, ensuring every child is supported regardless of their experience level.

The program focuses on enjoyment, teamwork, and learning the fundamentals — not competition. Children progress at their own pace, make friends, stay active, and build positive sporting habits in a welcoming community setting.
