Come try Badminton and experience the wonderful health benefits. It can build up strong muscle mass and strengthen your heart and bones. It boosts your metabolism and improves your mental agility. In a relaxing and fun atmosphere, it can ease your stress and help develop good social relationships. A sport that has a very long history and is well loved around the world in Asia and Europe.
We meet every Monday and Thursday, year-round from 10:30 am to 1:00 pm at the Hillhurst Sunnyside Community Centre (1320 5 Ave NW), a very centralized location. We are also the cheapest in town with only $4 (cash) per each visit and $1 drop-in shuttle fee but for a better deal you can purchase a punch card online of $70 for 20 visits or $10 annual shuttle fee. Most of the players are post beginners to advanced level. High school and up students are also welcome. There are four well maintained rubberized compound floors, showers and lockers, water fountain, vending machine and ATM machine. There is also free parking. We have been playing here for almost 20 years. We use Yonex 300 plastic shuttles as a group and some of our players are gold medallists of the Alberta Provincial 55+ this year. So come and join us and have some fun playing this interesting sport which is both exciting to play and beautiful to watch!
