Meet Your Head Coach
Steve Kiernan
Grassroot Coach of the Year 2024
From 11 years old, Steve has played and coached badminton in countries such as Belgium, Denmark and Malta, representing his club and Warwickshire County. The tournament circuit and County matches as a junior took Steve and his team all over the UK competing against the best players in his age group.
After coaching at his school, Steve set up badminton sessions in the Solihull area, entering teams into the Solihull Badminton League with many members going on to represent the County and local leagues.
Steve is dedicated to sharing his knowledge and experience with the next generation of badminton players and developing our future stars! Steve was presented with the Grassroot Coach of the Year 2024 for his contributions to growing the sport.
