Hey, I wanna play, too,
if somebody has an location I would love to play badminton!
Somebody an idea?

[dorkani]

Georgia Tech always has a decent amount of players of all levels on Fridays, , Thursdays and Tuesdays...you will need to buy a visitor pass tho.

Perimeter Church is the best bet, if you want top notch competition.

Thanks for your fast reply! I will have a look at the perimeter church training, seems its the nearest, is the Georgia Tech a University Club?

there is a club, but you don't have to be in the club to play...the only reason why a club was formed was to be able to reserve courts.

Sounds good! When I´m over my illness, I will come arround for a game.
Are you also playing there?

[stardasta]

@dorkani:
I'm playing now at Perimeter in Norcross,
very good players, thanks for your help :)

I moved into dunwoody, GA area yesterday, and will not be able to sleep peacefully until i find a place to play badminton. After reading your posts, i went to perimeter badminton clubs' website only to find out that they aren't accepting any more players :( You think you can sneak me in ;)

[stardasta]

Mhm, I suggest you come around at Wednesday or Sunday and I introduce you to the club leader :)

starts at around 7pm, have fun!

hehehe...ty Sir.. I'll be flying to FL on Sunday, so maybe, i can drop by tommorow. Ohh and btw, if by club leader you are referring to Mr. Ming, then i already had a brief discussion with him over the phone. Per him, the club is up2 its brim with new members and there are already 6-7 members in the waiting list. However, i will let you watch me play before you guys make a decision on whether or not i would be 'in' or 'out' ;)

thanks...
P.S. is this the address where you guys play? 9500 Medlock Bridge Road, Duluth, GA 30097

P.P.S please feel free to contact me directly m_vai@yahoo.com

Hi guys, I recently moved to Atlanta. I'm also keen on playing badminton and saw that the Perimeter club are not accepting any new players... do you know what the average waiting period is to being accepted into the club?

[stardasta]

I´ve no real idea how long the waiting time is, depends when players leave the club.. put your name on the waiting list, but I suppose it will take a few month :-(

Ok, to be able to put my name on the list should I come to the club during practice? I guess the address is the one you mentioned before.

[stardasta]

Yes, you can play at least one time and put your name after that on the list. Dilbert is also waiting. cu Wednesday or Sunday!

[jacobos007]

Great, I will try and be there this Wednesday. Where is a good place to buy a racquet? I needed to leave mine back in South Africa when comming here. Address, 9500 Medlock Bridge Road, Duluth, GA 30097?

[stardasta]

I brought mine with me, too, but some players at the club sell badminton equipment. Try it there! :-)

What kind of level is the play at this club?
I used to play in England but from the description of the level of play it might be too high for me to possibly participate. I have not managed to play a game in the last six or seven years so I am probably pretty rusty.

Hi, I've been there last week wednesday and the competition is quite good. I have not played, only watched but there are definately some good players. If I need to put myself in a rate I'd say I am medium compared to them.

If you'd like we can maybe go and play at the Tech they have mentioned as they have a waiting list. I have submitted my application but still awaits an answer. It will give us practice. You can mail me at jaco.dreyer@us.epiuse.com

Are you talking about GA Tech? I did not see where they had a club, must have over looked it. Could you give me the link so I can apply myself.
I am up for a match anytime. As I said I am pretty rusty so dont hold it against me.
Email me at NigelESellman@yahoo.com and we can try to arrange something. Anyone else is more than welcome to join us as it seems to be pretty tough to find some where to play over in the US. I also know that doubles was always much less exercise than singles

Hi,
I'm just getting into Badminton, and I live in Roswell, Ga (north of ATL). Are there any age limits on playing? I'm 17 right now and I'm looking for someone to teach me some tips and gameplay. I would like to play badminton through college (Georgia College and State University) next year. So mainly, I'd like to see if i'd even be able to participate in these clubs like Ga tech.

Thx
Sean

Hi, no there is no age limit. The sooner you start the better. I am in the process of finding a place to play. You're welcome to join once we've find a venue. I haven't received feedback from GA Tech yet.

[dorkani]

I am a member and officer at georgia tech's badminton club...just shoot me about any questions...

I got the following reply from Gayle S. Kreckman, Membership Coordinator, Campus Recreation Center

Jaco,
the only way you can use our facility is as a guest of a member. Thanks.
Gayle

So How do one become a member?

I'd like to become a member as well, I live just 30 mins from GaTech.
Do you have to attend GaTech to be a member? If so, then who can I be a guest under?

Thx
Sean

P.S. Is there anytype of website for the badminton club?

[MChristine]

there are a lot of people who want to play and not enough places to play. The waiting lists and club memberships seem to be a reoccuring theme here. I wonder if it would be worth while to try to start up a new club. I'm in East Cobb and would love to start playing again. Maybe if there are enough people interested and willing to commit, we could find a new place to play. What do you guys think?

For sure! I was thinking about the same thing this weekend. I know of only 2 places in Atlanta to play badminton and one has got a waiting list and the other you need to be a member or accompanied by a member. It would be great to have a place that we can often play on our own. How do we start the process?

[WazzaT]

If anyone lives in the Decatur area or can get there easily, there are a couple of courts where some members of my old club which used to play at Georgia State University play on a pretty regular basis.

To get in touch drop kimmerbee@aol.com an email. It's a really friendly group of people who are very relaxed.

To my knowledge, Georgia State University has a similar system to Georgia Tech where you have to be guest of a student to play.

[MChristine]

if there are enough people like us looking for a place to play and willing to commit the time, we could just start looking for gyms to play in. The tricky part is to establish a core group of players. If we could get them together though, we could contact locations in the area with a gym- YMCA, churches, high schools, or the parks and recreation dept. and try to rent out the space a couple nights a week.

That sounds great. We found another place, it's a goup of players that used to play at Georgia State University. They are starting to play next week at the Decatur Rec Centre. The person to contact is: Kim 404-281-2856 or Sue 770-377-3404. Just arrange with the on the details etc.

:D hi...I just moved to Canton, Georgia and I started playing badminton 2 years ago in San Jose California...and I was just wondering if there are any places that they have open gym for badminton. =edit= I'm 15 btw, so I can't join the college places T.T

While in Athens i got to play a lot of Badminton and also served as the president of the Badminton Club at university of Georgia.Like everybody else, I am having trouble finding places to play in the east cobb or kennesaw area. Maybe we can get a club going at the Kennesaw state university. If anybody has any info or knows how to go about this, Please let me know(nedar@hotmail.com) Thanks.

Keep Smashing.
Imran

[MChristine]

I think I'll call them and see if they'd be open to letting us use the gym if we could get a club together.

Ya, that would be great. I visited KSU this weekend and found out to open a club we will have to get 15 KSU students to sign up as members to get a club going. But please do inform us about your findings.

Hmm, I didnt follow up with it.. But now that KSU is starting for fall semester, It's probably good time to follow up or try to get a club going.

Hi, I'm also interested in joining a group for badminton. Havent played for a while but really itching for a good game. I have my own rackets and some shuttlecocks. Living in Dunwoody...

Sorry about interrupting.

Does anyone know a contact or a place to play in Savannah GA. I will be in town for business at the end of Sept and was wondering whether anyone in Atlanta knows what is happening in Savannah?

Thanks for the help.

[airathanas]

Greetings! I have just started a badminton club at Georgia Southern in Statesboro. We are looking for members and players, so please come by and join us! We meet on Thursdays from 8-10pm in the Hanner Complex in the Old Gym. If you need directions/more information, please let me know!

[trnelson]

Hey everyone,

I'm new to the site and these forums. I haven't played badminton for about 6 or so years, but it was really the only sport I enjoyed and did alright at. I would love to play, but it seems nearly impossible to find a place to play here.

I was just wondering if there have been any new clubs that have opened, or if anyone is collecting names of people that would be interested in playing in the north Atlanta / Marietta area. If so, you can consider myself interested. =)

Please let me know. I'm by no means a pro, but I did play a few nights a week for a couple of years, so I'm not really a beginner either (though probably a bit rusty).

Thanks!

[MChristine]

I may have found a place for us to play. I contacted the gym coordinator at Chastain Park this week and she replied right away that she was "excited" about starting a club at some place called Peachtree Hills Gym (I'm not even sure where it is). She is going to look at her schedule to see what times she has available and she has asked me whether weekends or weekday nights were better for us.

I am hoping that those of you will join me in starting this new club. If you are interested, let me know, and let me know what day(s) work for you. We will do our best to coordinate.

Hopefully everything will work out and we'll have a new place to play.

Chris

[trnelson]

Woo!

Thanks Chris. I would be able to make it out probably one or two nights a week. Weeknights are probably best for me, though likely not on Fridays if possible (that's my "kick back and stare at the wall after a long week" night).

Please keep us updated on where and when, hopefully we'll be able to organize enough players to make it happen.

Also, I'm not sure where Peachtree Hills Gym is, but if you happen to learn about where, please let us know.

Thanks! :D

(oh yeah, now I have to get a racquet, mine's in Canada!)

[Huddersfield]

I would really be interested in playing. I live up in Cobb myself and that drive down to Decatur was getting really difficult to do.
If you need a hand in trying to get this organized I can offer some time.

Just let me know.
NigelESellman@yahoo.com
Where is thus guy again?
Anyone know where to get the nets/posts from?

[subu_g]

I live in Atlanta | Cobb Area and am interested in playing if a club is being formed.

Hi,

I am new to Atlanta and I have recently moved from Singapore. I used to play a lot of Badminton in Singapore. I am looking out to start playing badminton in Atlanta vicinity. I am currently staying in a hotel in N. Druid Hills area and planning to move out to a place convenient to play Badminton as well as to go to work place (Coca-cola plaza). If you could help me to find out a place to start playing Badminton I will appreciate your help.

Regards:)

[nelsonloh]

I found a Peachtree Hills Gym at this address 308 Peachtree Hills Ave, Atlanta GA 30305- It is apparently near the Lindbergh Marta station (according to Google) . I couldn't find a website for the gym though.

[MChristine]

Hi Nelson,
You are right about the location of the gym, it is near the Lindbergh Marta station. It is a small gym with no website. Imran (who posts here) and I met with the gym coordinator and checked it out about a week and a half ago. The woman we spoke with was extremely accomodating. She is in the process of getting it ready for us, having the lines taped for the courts, buying nets etc.. I expect to hear from her any day now and we'll be ready to go.

Like I said, the gym is small, we think there's only room for 2 courts, but they are willing to give us Thursday nights to start and eventually Tuesday nights too.

More to follow....
Chris:)

I'm a student at KSU and just getting into badmnton with my buddy. I'd love to get a club together. If any of you guys from KSU is serious I know some people in the recreation department. If there were a couple of us I'm sure we can get something started.

You can check Perimeter Badminton Club located in Medlock. Since many of us are interested in playing badminton, how about we form a group, let say a badminton club, we can find a gym to set up the equipment.

[tikpaklong]

Hello everyone, my wife and I live in Atlanta, GA (midtown) and are looking for a place or court to play badminton (beginner-intermediate). I have heard that there is a club located in Medlock Bridge / Perimeter, but you have to be a member. I have also heard that there is a place at Georgia Tech but you have to be a guest of a student. We do not have any memberships and do not know anyone who could give us access, but we would appreciate any information on where to play or apply. Our email is tikpaklong@yahoo.com. Thanks!

Hi,
Is anyone interested in playing badminton in Woodstock area.
We can talk to one of the churches and start from there.

Has the badminton club been setup at Peachtree Hills Gym yet?

Who do I need to speak to in order to join?

[MChristine]

Sadly, for all of us who were looking forward to a new club starting in Peachtree Hills, it never panned out. Although the contact we had a the gym seemed very excited and accomodating at first, she has since stopped returning our phone calls.

[Matt_C]

Hi all,

Having read this thread it looks like places to play in Atlanta are few and far between. Even so if anyone knows of anywhere I can play I would really appreciate the info. I'm open to starting a new club, convincing a gym, purchasing equipment - anything short of building a room big enough for a court in my back yard (and I only say that because I don't think my covenant agreement allows it ;)

I am an expat from the UK, have been in ATL for around 2 years, use to play at an intermediate before coming to the US and getting out of practice.

Please feel free to reply to me on this thread or direct through my profile.

Thanks a lot,

Matt

[tikpaklong]

I received this information from a very helpful fellow here on Badminton Central:

"There is a group that plays in downtown Decatur on Wednesday nights. They are very welcoming. The courts were not too full last year.

Also, we have a small group that plays at the Intermediate down to to
Beginner level outdoors at Brookwood Hills (near piedmont hospital),
currently on Monday nights about 6:45 pm to 8:30 pm. You are welcome
to join us."

Hope this helps.

[smashndrop]

Looking for a place to play in the Peachtree City/Fayette County area...thanks.

Hi frostlich, I'm looking to move my family to GA and may be considering relocating to Peachtree City (CNN Money best places to live). Badminton is an important part of our lives and was wondering if you managed to find a place to play. I was even considering perhaps looking into a local gym and maybe forming a club as I havent' seen a club available south of Atlanta (except Georgia Southeastern which is way out there).

Thanks.

[nzelfman]

Hi everyone,

I'm a newbie to the forum and will be moving to Atlanta in a few weeks. I'm trying to find out how many different badminton clubs that are still accepting new members. I'll be staying around Decatur near Emory. Can anyone help?

Thanks

[Tei_Ren]

I am also interested in looking for a place to play badminton, as well as people to play with.

It just seems to me that since there aren't too many places to play badminton in Atlanta indoors, what about setting up a net in a park somewhere and playing that way? I know it would be much better to play on an indoor court. I've played indoors and outdoors and I've enjoyed both.

I was thinking that if we can't find an indoor court, why can't we just play recreationally outdoors? It's a start.

I live in the Stone Mountain Area less than 15 minutes from Decatur.

Is anyone interested in setting up a net outside?

[starkiller]

Hi,

I haven't played badminton in 10 years, but I have been aching to play and I am trying to find a play where I can play a few people and get my body back into shape like it use to stay when I was playing.

So my question is where is there to play near Duluth where I live, or close by, anyone got anything?

my e-mail is sully@tierpath.com If you know of a place that people meet for fun let me know! I am going crazy!

[starkiller]

still no dice yet!

[tikpaklong]

Yeah we all have got to find a way to get together and find a place!

[starkiller]

maybe a yahoo groop or something for us ATL badminton players that wanna have fun and play some competitions as well.

[tikpaklong]

my yahoo instant messenger name is tikpaklong...

[bookgirl101]

Please add me to the list of newbies interested in getting into a group. I live in the Emory area and could play in Decatur if that's where we can finally locate a place. If you are getting a yahoo group together, please include me so I can get the updates: bookgirl101@yahoo.com. I have not played since college, but I am willing to practice enough to get back to where I was (medium level?). Keep me in the loop -- and thanks! --Cory

[starkiller]

Ok, I created and e-mail alias and I have added 4 of you that request it to it, if anyone else wants to get in on this group, so we can all hunt, the more the merrier. Just e-mail me, or post here.

[tryan]

please let me know where the games are played in Brookwood Hills. Thanks

Can you tell me where they play in Decatur?

Thanks

[starkiller]

right now nowwhere as the place they played is a school and is being used, there are about 4 of us looking for a place, would you 2 want to be added to the list so when we find a place you can get notified?

[hkorubll]

That would be great. Please add me. I just contacted the other guy because I saw his posting on craigslist. He doesnt know of a place either. I will keep him informed.

I can play during the week .... it will be awesome if there is a place

[hkorubll]

I need to find a place to play badminton. Did you find a place yet?




I moved into dunwoody, GA area yesterday, and will not be able to sleep peacefully until i find a place to play badminton. After reading your posts, i went to perimeter badminton clubs' website only to find out that they aren't accepting any more players :( You think you can sneak me in ;)

Hi, I am a new to this website. I like to play badminton too. I have not played for more than 10 years and would like to join your club. Please let me know if you find a place to play.

Hello Steve,

I played at the Memorial Presbyterian Church Gymnasium last sunday. They play from 11AM to 4:30PM. The address is 5140 Memorial Drive, Stone Mountain, GA 30083.

It was a good set of people and you can easily find somebody who would match your game.

[nzelfman]

Hi everyone,

I am living in the Emory area and will like to get some updated information about places to play that is still accepting members. Can anyone help?

Is the Memorial Presbyterian Church Gymnasium still accepting members? and how do I get in to play?


Thanks in advance

Hello Steve,

I played at the Memorial Presbyterian Church Gymnasium last sunday. They play from 11AM to 4:30PM. The address is 5140 Memorial Drive, Stone Mountain, GA 30083.

It was a good set of people and you can easily find somebody who would match your game.





do you just show up, or how does it work?
I know at least 4 people that would love to play.

I created this group for us atl players so we can organize events and have fun!

Hi, I also need a place to play. Does this Brookwood Hills place have proper court? Does it accept guest players?

Are there any other places where I can play? I have friends who are willing to play so I don't need people, I just need a court especially!

Its so frustrating to look for a court on online forum like this when you can walk out of your house for 10 minutes and instantly find a basketball/tennis court.

anyone here from the athens area? i'm looking to start playing again. i've sent an email to the UGA club but haven't heard back yet, due to the holidays i'm sure.

hey buddy, I am from Athens area because my school, UGA, is there and my undergraduate badminton club plays but they closed down till January 2nd. Its so frustrating that they closed Ramsey down right?!

[Surge319]

it is frustrating. ramsey closed just as i am interested in playing again. i played often when i was in school there 11-12 years ago. now i am an employee and just joined back up at ramsey and want to join the club and start playing again.

you must be one of the older people i see at the courts...i'm still an undergraduate student so i stick with people my age who are active on the courts...maybe you would recognize people like Ning or Shingo?

[Surge319]

i don't know anyone yet. i went for the first time wednesday of last week and was told it would be easier to join the first day of the next semester. so i'll go back whenever ramsey is opened. i'm 33 by the way, and caucasian so i will probably be easy to recognize as most folks appeared to be of asian origins.

hello guys,

Thanks for posting this. I'm looking to get back into badminton after a few years. Actually, I think I originally started this thread :D

Hope to make it to one of these soon!

By the way, about the Bogan Park sked, don't they have any non-office-hour court time available? I live about 5mins away, but I work in Tucker.

Hi! I'm glad to see such a vibrant community in Atlanta. I'll be an Undergrad at Emory this fall and I've played for the past four years. I'm not bad and I want to continue playing. Since I don't have a reliable means of transportation since we're not allowed cars, anyone know a club close to Emory's campus? I know Emory has a club itself, but I haven't heard much about it. Either way, thanks!

Hello, looking to play some badminton, anyone playing near Peachtree City/Fayette area??

[draco]

hey i was wondering about if there are any courts in gwinnett county that are indoor? also i am a georgia state student so i no last semester there use to be badminton in the school gym wed & fri. the bad part is u need to pay $5 if ur not a student.

[superdle]

Is there any where in Atlanta that has decent open badminton courts!!??? I moved to Atlanta from San Diego, CA and is dying to find a decent place to play badminton.

[draco]

SIDENOTE: I was wondering if there are any good places to string and buy decent rackets around the Atlanta area....

[superdle]

http://www.gutsandglorytennis.com, They are based in Suwanee, GA, but I dont know how well they string. What I might do later is send my racket to www.badminton.net and have them string it same day. I used to buy rackets and have them string it when I was in San Diego.

[capricious]

Hardcore tennis (http://www.hardcoretennis.net/ ) strings badminton rackets. They are located in the Windy Hill Shopping Village mall close to I-285 I-75 intersection. They have strung my rackets for just 15 bucks (my own string). The racket is usually ready the same day.

[jaynjay]

I string rackets.

$12 if you have your own string, otherwise, I have Yonex BG9, BG65, BG80, Ashway Rally 21 mico, and ML-LX, you can choose from.

also I have order a big amount of shuttlecocks:
I made a website just for fun:

Hi there,

I live in Duluth, close by the Perimeter area. I'm an intermediate player who's willing to spill energy across the courts, could anyone introduce me to the Perimeter group?
