Badminton

The BLAGSS badminton group is a mixed ability group who play doubles and mixed doubles games.

All interested badminton players are welcome to come along. We have players with a wide range of abilities, so you should be able to have some good matches, whether you're an experienced player or haven't played for years.

Players range from league-level players to beginners and the group is truly mixed ability, giving everyone the opportunity to have a fun-filled evening. 

Where and When We Play

We're on the move! Over the next couple of months our venue and timings will be changing.

The coaching sessions have been paused until further notice.

  • Tues 24th Dec & Tues 31st Dec - No Badminton
  • Merry Christmas & Happy New Year
     
  • Tues 7th, 14th & 21st Jan - 8PM - 10PM at Mead Hall, Brighton University, Falmer
    This is the smaller of the two "University of Brighton Sports Centre" buildings in Falmer. There are several car parks around the campus, including one immediately to the south of the building. It is a 10 minute walk from Falmer station, and is served by the 5B and 25 bus routes. Please message on the WhatsApp group if you need a lift or can offer one to other members.

    Please note the later time due to hall availability.
     
  • From Tues 28th Jan - at Brighton Girls School
    We'll be back at our familiar venue on Temple Gardens / Montpelier Road.

How we play

We have exclusive use of 3 courts for mixed doubles. It's an informal set up - when a court becomes free, hop on and see who has joined you on court. Club regulars will have a general idea of the level of different players, and may suggest particular parings for an evenly matched game.

Most players bring their own racquets, but we do have a few available to borrow if you're new to badminton.

What it costs

Court fees: Your first session is £5; if you decide to continue, it's £9 per session from then on. All sessions last two hours.

BLAGSS Membership: New to BLAGSS? you can attend your first session without an annual membership. After your first session you must join BLAGSS in order to continue.

You can pay using your card or by bank transfer. Logged in members can see the bank transfer details below, or ask us on the night. We do not accept cash.
