Welcome to Sussex Spartans Badminton Club, Brighton’s newest intermediate badminton club, created by a group of friends who had been playing badminton together for over a decade. Having played for several clubs over the years we have recently decided to start a club in Brighton and Hove that’s small and maintains a consistent level of intermediate badminton on our club session, ensuring every game is competitive and strong.

We have regular coaching as a group and are always looking to improve our technique and game play in order to compete well against each other and at league and county masters level. We have entered a team into the Brighton Division 1 Men’s Combi league and another into the Mid Sussex Men’s League for the 2024/25 season. Match nights will be Thursdays at Moulescoomb Leisure Centre.

We currently have 34 members and 12 match players and are always looking for a small number of intermediate players to join us, those who are willing to continually improve their technique and gameplay.

If you like the sound of this, please do get in touch with as much background information as possible and we’ll hope to see you on court soon.

The club has gone from strength to strength and has enjoyed great success with the MSDBA.
