Best Badminton Racquets for Youth

Yonex Youth badminton racquet
Too many parents set their kids up for failure by putting adult racquets in their hands before they are ready for them.
We define youth players as those aged 9 to 12. Depending on their height and musculature, some youth may move into the teen category as early as 11 while some may not get there until the age of 13 or 14. Some youth who are training regularly as part of a coached program may even move into adult racquets in their very early teens.

There are minor but important differences between youth racquets and teen racquets. Most youth racquets, for example, are a bit shorter and slightly more flexible than teen racquets. At the same, youth racquets are a bit longer and a little stiffer than children’s racquets. They are designed to hit the shuttle deeper into the opposing court than teen or adult racquets.

The best way to determine which racquet is right for your youth is to bring them into the store for consultation with one of our experts. We can help you pick out a badminton racquet that will bring out the best in the youth badminton player in your family.

Below is a sample of racquets that our experts have determined to be generally suitable for badminton players aged 9 to 12. For more information, please come into the store and consult with one of our experts. We are open 7 days a week and we carry Calgary’s largest selection of badminton racquets for men, women, teens and children.
