ABOUT

ABOUT US

We are a group of University of Washington students devoted to the sport of badminton. This club is an effort to support and foster the large community of badminton players not only at UW, but the Greater Seattle area. We have undergraduate and graduate students from various majors, as well as some active alumni. We welcome players of all skill levels seeking to either improve their game, play competitive matches, or to just have FUN! We are also committed to create strong, lasting relations with other badminton clubs and schools in the country.


CLUB HOURS

Our club meets 3 times a week. You're welcome to come as often as you like, and stay however long you want!

Mondays 7-10 PM
Thursdays 7-10 PM
Saturdays 2-5 PM

We meet in Gym B at the UW Intramural Activities Building. On weekdays, we have four courts. On weekends, we have eight courts.

If you have IMA membership, you can still play badminton at the IMA on your own time whenever you want, even if we are not holding club practices! For info on IMA guidelines, access eligibility, and hours, visit the IMA website. Our Discord is a great way to find other people to play with!
