Certified BWF Badminton Coach in Melbourne with 20 years experience. I have a range of GROUP & PRIVATE programs available to help you improve your technique, footwork, fitness and strategic game.

The Badminton Hub is a truly awesome badminton club. Having moved to Melbourne a couple of years ago, I did extensive research for where I could play. The club really has a great adult coaching program from beginners right up to advanced players. Out of all the clubs Craig was the most welcoming and he was quick to reply to all my messages and include me on his group WhatsApp chat for players. I'm currently training on Thursdays and Saturdays and he offers a great discount for training more than once a week. There are only 4 players on each court and you're guaranteed to have a great workout and spend time working on different strokes. Craig's really patient and I love how his coaching method is really non-judgemental, plus he really helps me understand the biomechanics of each shot and how it should be played. It's a great little community and I look forward to seeing everyone each week

As a previous member of The Badminton Hub, I thoroughly enjoyed their coaching sessions throughout the week in Melbourne. Craig and his experienced coaches were very patient and taught me the fundamentals of badminton. But what really made the difference was that it felt like a real community and everyone was super friendly and we had a lot of fun playing at the same time. Now that I have moved interstate I am doing the virtual badmintoncoaching program with Craig. I'm still getting the hang of it, and what I really love is that he will give unlimited feedback on all the videos I upload each month for the same fee. It's really helped my game strategy and I've also been able to provide advice for my doubles partner too. Another perk is that there are no lock in contracts which means I can continue with his coaching for as long as I want. Thanks again Craig for all the coaching advice.

The badminton coaching classes at Sports Point in Altona North have been great for beginners and more experienced players like myself as they have different sessions catering to each ability. I love how friendly everyone is and how helpful players are in encouraging each other. I'm also really enjoying the program structure which includes footwork, routines and multishuttle work. The Head Coach Craig really changes it up each week and makes every session different which is great and I have a lot of fun there too.

I was referred to Craig by a friend when playing badminton socially. My friend said that I would benefit from Craig's coaching if I wanted to level up my overall badminton game. This was my introduction to Craig and The Badminton Hub.

I love to play badminton with my friends and work colleagues and attend social badminton. As I progressed and faced stronger opponents, I felt that my level needed to rise to compete against the smarter, faster and deadlier players.

I joined The Badminton Hub to help me develop better faster and efficient footwork, better form/technique, strength and conditioning. I love the structured classes which has a clear focus for the lesson learning the footwork, practice/sparing and shuttle feeding.

Thanks to The Badminton Hub I have seen improvements in my overall game and I would recommended anyone who wants to learn from all levels, novice, intermediate or advanced. The coaches will help you improve whatever your goals are for your badminton journey.

From my first introduction to Craig/The Badminton Hub and now, my friends have commented on the progress they've seen. I've entered tournaments and progressed well with the support of Craig and everyone else who attends the session. Everyone at the Badminton Hub is very friendly and give their best. Craig is a great coach/teacher as he has fostered and embodies all the great values and behaviours that inspire all members to be better, to love the sport, to improve, to smile while we're doing it and to help each other.

Hi there,

My name is cuong and I live in Melbourne Australia. I've been playing badminton socially for about 4 years and simply love playing badminton with my friends and family.

I am mainly self taught and have unfortunately developed some bad habits which has lead to various strains and injuries. I joined the badminton hub to turn my bad habits into good habits with solid fundamentals.

Since joining the badminton hub, my game has vastly improved in terms of my footwork, technique though I still have a long way to go. With the help of the Craig and the badminton hub team I know my I get to where I want to be faster with a solid foundations to ensure my bad habits are gone. Craig is very supportive and always offer amazing feedback.

My games have since become a lot more intense with longer rallies, better smashes, better drops and essentially have become so much more fun!

I would recommend the services to anyone who is interested in learning more about their technique and how to improve it. Thank you Craig and I will continue to support the team and get slammed by the 'COD' .

I'm David currently at Melbourne, Australia. In the time period prior having been coached
by The Badminton Hub. I was a below average player and felt like I could not progress my skills.
I had hit a wall and there were so many other players I could not beat and that's where my
fustration began. I hesitated to join in The Badminton Hub because I thought the drills would
be painfully boring compared to playing games.

What I enjoy about the program is that I am always challenged and every session is always
something different. It really helps that the group I'm training with is full of positive
energy. We're consistently encouraging each other to be the better versions of ourselves.
The best I've achievements is to win several regional tournaments and seeing my own improvements
develop over time.

I would recommend The Badminton Hub to anyone and everyone, they are great for all badminton
skill levels and everyone is friendly and encouraging.
