About JBA
Jones Badminton Academy (JBA) is a brand-new badminton academy launched in Milton Keynes, September 2025. We bring high quality, fun and accessible coaching sessions to the next generation of badminton players; targeting children in school years 1-6 (ages 5-11).
Our experienced coaching team is formed of some of the top professional players in the country, who are currently competing on the European and World Tours. Join us and make badminton a joyful part of your child's life!
Our academy is built on 5 values:
1. Inspire through sport
We use badminton to inspire confidence, build character and promote healthy lifestyles from an early age
2. Progress with purpose
Sessions are designed to encourage children to explore new skills and learn through consistent practice; we ensure players leave better than when they arrived – on and off the court.
3. Fun is fundamental
We foster a joyful and encouraging environment where learning is exciting, challenge is encouraged and smiles are guaranteed.
4. Grow for the long game
Players are actively encouraged to be inquisitive about all aspects of badminton, from trying new skills and learning new shots to watching top players from around the world - to attempt, imitate and follow in their footsteps.
5. Everyone belongs
Inclusive, supportive and welcoming – we make every child feel seen, valued and safe.

Shuttle Stars
From September 2025, we launched two brand-new Shuttle Stars classes for 5–11 year olds — and they’re already thriving! 🏸
Shuttle Stars is Badminton England’s new 6-stage grassroots programme for primary-aged children, designed to introduce them to badminton through fun, challenge, and personal growth. We’re excited to be helping develop the next generation of badminton talent right here in Milton Keynes!
