A Partnership That Gives Back
By choosing RSL Gold or RSL Black, you’ll be helping to fund player development and aspirations across the country for years to come, with 50c from every tube being donated to the Jeff & Heather Robson Memorial Badminton Trust.
Founded in honour of Jeff and Heather Robson – two of New Zealand badminton's most influential figures – the Trust delivers essential grants to talented players nationwide. These contributions help to remove barriers and unlock potential for athletes pursuing national and global success. In doing so, it sustains the growth of the sport at every level, turning individual aspirations into lasting achievements for badminton in New Zealand.
With RSL as our Official Shuttlecock Partner, we're strengthening the foundation of badminton in New Zealand – delivering world-class consistency and giving back to the community. Stock arrives mid-April, so clubs, coaches, and competition organisers are encouraged to prepare now.
