Welcome to MyRacquets Activity Camps

At MYRACQUETS Activity Camps not only will your child have fun and learn new skills but they also have the opportunity to develop their skills long into the future!

The Derbyshire based MyRacquets Camps was founded by Lee Clapham ex England badminton player with 11 years coaching experience. Lee felt that children need to be encouraged to play more sport whilst at the same time feeling enthusiasm and excitement for sport.

These camps give boys and girls the chance to develop new skills in a safe friendly environment with experienced and fully qualified coaches.

Although the main focus sport for the camps is badminton we do involve the children in some different activities such as SAQ (Speed Agility and Quickness), basketball, football, cricket, etc as we feel children will developed different essential skills though different sports and challenges.

Our aim is to enable children to learn and develop through fun and enjoyment, not only skill wise and physically but also socially by interacting with other children and our main aim is to enable children to learn and develop through fun and enjoyment.

What ever your child wants out of sport weather it to be the next Olympic gold medallist or just to have some fun or try something that they haven’t done before, we at MyRacquets will help them on their way. We understand that every child is unique and we aim to make every child feel valued.
