The Summer Session is June 6 – August 30th

Pre-registration for the Summer session for existing spring session students was completed on May 6th. If you are an existing spring session student who hasn't enrolled for summer yet please contact us ASAP.

New students for the summer session can register at any time. We are currently working on calling students but due to us hosting one of the biggest junior tournaments in the United States May 24-26th with 570 players along with some staff out sick last week, we are still working on returning all calls and emails. We will be emailing out about all move ups from the in class spring tournament 6/2. This will open up more spots in all classes. Thank you for your patience!

Testimonials

“Shannon is far beyond a coach. Shannon is a friend, Shannon cares. Shannon loves what she does and wants to share her passion and love for the sport with all who will allow her to.  Shannon is more than  “coach” to her students. She is a mentor, an advocate….family to her students.  Shannon produces champions, on the courts but also within each individual student themselves.”
~ Stephanie Seplowin
“Shannon truly felt a young girls dreams and desires. Long story short, Shannon made those dreams come true for my daughter. Taylor is a IHSA state champ.  She is a competitive player in tournaments. She has been named to the Maccabbi USA Badminton Team. Shannon has been the guiding light to make my daughters dreams come true. Shannon has been a role model to a teenager that only a mother could hope for.”
~ Stephanie Seplowin
“Shannon is an amazing person and teacher. Because of her, the number of kids interested in playing high school badminton has increased dramatically and the quality of play has also gone up significantly. She spends just as much time and effort with the lower level freshman as she does with the state contenders and she doesn’t play favorites. She teaches the kids about badminton, physical fitness, life and how to be a good and ethical person. Both my kids have worked with Shannon over the past 5 years and both are better people because of it.”
~ Michael Rosenbaum
“Shannon is a unique badminton player from her generation. I have not seen a player with her drive, determination and commitment to the sport of badminton in a long time. It is hard to find an athlete with her work ethic and desire to become an elite badminton player. During this time of turmoil in badminton, Shannon is one of those players that plays with ethics and morals on and off the court. Shannon is a great role model and I wish the US had more players just like her.”
~ Kathy Zimmerman,
Former Vice-President
USA Badminton Board of Directors
