About Us
Feathers Performance Academy, previously known as Feathers, is run by Scott Carter who took over the academy over 6 years ago after his predecessor and head coach at the time relocated to India. Since then the Academy has grown from strength to strength. Moving from having 30 students to now over 130 training and competing in tournaments up and down the country. Many of our students tournament careers have already started and we are eager to enter more and more, starting with the U11's.
As an academy we offer two different pathways; Social/Club sessions or Tournament training. Club sessions are on Friday evenings and Sunday morning. Tournament sessions run Monday - Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons.
We also offer a 1 hour session Sunday mornings for children aged 3-6 years as an introduction to Badminton.
All sessions are located at Stantonbury Leisure Centre, Milton Keynes.
