Welcome to Sussex Spartans Badminton Club, a Brighton intermediate badminton club created by a group of friends who’ve been playing badminton together for well over a decade. Having played for and set up several clubs over the years we decided to set up a new club in Brighton and Hove that’s small and maintains a consistent level of intermediate badminton.
We have regular group coaching by, Dean George from Badminton Zone, 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 won the Worthing Men’s Combi Division 2 last season. This 2026-2027 season, we have entered a team into the Worthing Division 1 Mens Combi league and the Mid Sussex Division 1 Mens Combi league, a great challenge for our progression. Match nights are on Tuesdays at Portslade Leisure Centre.
We currently have around 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. We need to register new players for the Worthing League by the 31st October.
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 Tornados were established primarily as a club for young players who are new to badminton and who were taught the game by our experienced coach, Wendy Adams. Over the years, many of those players have stayed with the club and we now have a healthy blend of both adults and juniors with many of our adults assisting in the development of our younger players. The club has gone from strength to strength and has enjoyed great success with the MSDBA.
