ABOUT US
OUR STORY
Having played from a young age at the same local club, both myself (David) and Heather developed a love for badminton. Heather went on to represent team GB at the Rio olympics and I.......didn't!
Instead I focused on my love for coaching and founded GO:VER TRAINING LTD. We both credit this early participation with shaping our respective careers.
Being a professional athlete, Heather was heavily invested in being in the the best condition possible, when back in Sussex Heather trained at GO:VER GYM and the discussions began!
Our plan was to create a club for the South East that gave juniors and adults alike access to the highest calibre of coaching in a community based, inclusive environment. A huge amount of planning and hard work later South Coast Badminton was founded!
We hope you like it!
