MOTUS BADMINTON

Coaching Terms

Last updated: September 2026

These terms explain how badminton coaching sessions with Motus Badminton are arranged and delivered.

1. Coaching sessions

Coaching sessions are provided by Tim Kausch, a Badminton England Level 2 qualified coach.

Sessions may be provided on a one-to-one or small-group basis and will normally take place at a suitable badminton venue where a court can be booked.

The content of each session will be adapted to the player's ability, experience and individual goals.

2. Booking

Coaching sessions are arranged by agreement between the player and Motus Badminton.

A session is considered booked once the date and time have been agreed.

For junior players, bookings and arrangements may be made with a parent or guardian.

3. Coaching fees and court hire

The coaching fee will be confirmed when the session is arranged.

Unless specifically stated otherwise, court hire is not included in the coaching fee and will be payable separately by the player or included in the agreed total.

Any additional costs, such as court hire, will be explained before the session where reasonably possible.

4. Payment

Payment arrangements will be agreed when the coaching session is booked.

Payment may be made by an agreed method, such as bank transfer or another available payment method.

Payment is normally expected before or at the time of the session unless otherwise agreed.

5. Cancelling or changing a session

If you need to cancel or rearrange a session, please provide as much notice as reasonably possible.

Motus Badminton understands that circumstances can change, including illness, work commitments and other unforeseen circumstances.

Where reasonable notice is provided, every effort will be made to rearrange the session.

If a session is cancelled at short notice, any refund or charge will be considered on a case-by-case basis, taking into account circumstances and any non-refundable venue costs.

6. Coach cancellation

If Motus Badminton needs to cancel or rearrange a session, you will be offered an alternative session where possible.

If an alternative cannot be arranged, any coaching fee already paid for the cancelled session will be refunded.

Any unavoidable venue charges will be discussed separately.

7. Illness and injuries

Players should inform the coach of any injury, illness or other condition that may affect their ability to participate safely.

The coach may modify, pause or stop a session where they believe continuing could present an unreasonable risk of injury or illness.

Players should not participate if they are unwell or injured to the extent that playing badminton would be inappropriate.

8. Personal responsibility

Badminton is a physical activity and carries a risk of injury.

Players are responsible for participating within their own physical abilities and should follow reasonable instructions provided by the coach.

Players should wear suitable sports clothing and footwear and use appropriate badminton equipment.

9. Juniors

For players under 18, appropriate parent or guardian information and consent will be obtained before coaching begins.

Parents or guardians should provide accurate emergency and relevant medical information.

Motus Badminton will follow appropriate safeguarding practices when coaching juniors.

10. Photography and video

Photography or video may occasionally be used during coaching for technical analysis and player development.

Photography or video will not be used for website, social media or promotional purposes without the appropriate consent.

For junior players, appropriate parent or guardian consent will be obtained.

11. Coaching environment

Players are expected to behave respectfully towards the coach, other players, venue staff and other users of the venue.

Motus Badminton reserves the right to stop or decline a coaching session where behaviour creates a significant safety concern or is inappropriate towards others.

12. Changes to these terms

These terms may be updated from time to time.

The version applicable to a coaching session will be the version available on the Motus Badminton website at the time of booking, unless otherwise agreed.
