A friendly group of competitive badminton players that don't take the result too seriously!
Watford Badminton Club was formed in
April 2011, playing once a week at
Watford Boys Grammar School. Due to the popularity, a second evening was
arranged from January 2012, which takes place at Watford Girls Grammar School (Fuller Life Fitness Centre).
The club has now expanded to include a
diverse range of age groups (18-50+) and backgrounds. The one common
theme is that everybody enjoys a friendly evening playing badminton and
all are of an intermediate standard or better.
On both evenings the club has
exclusive use of the high quality sports halls, with all
four courts available for both two hour sessions. Numbers are capped at 24
per evening.
On a regular basis there is a coaching session with an external coach, for those that wish to improve their technique.
The sessions are organised so that all
players change around, playing with different people throughout the
evening, with just short breaks between games, dependent on the numbers
attending on that particular night. We do not participate in external
leagues, however there is an internal fun competition arranged once a
year, which runs from September to December, with prizes awarded at the
Christmas meal.
Throughout the year, other social events are arranged from activity events to meals out, for those that wish to participate.
Badminton is fun, especially when played with a friendly group!
