Hi, I am just wondering if Badminton is popular in University of Houston (the main campus in Houston, TX) ?

I just got accepted into the master program there, and I am just trying to see if Badminton is available there before I make my final decision :)

woops, this thread should be placed to "US West", my bad :p

Yeah,

They play every friday. And i THINK every wednesday too, but don't quote me on that. there are also other clubs in the Houston area to play at. PM me and I can give you some contact info.

well, I didn't apply schools there so I couldn't go there. :(

I am now in the process looking an apartment in Houston (near downtown if possible), and I think I am going to move there in July if there is no other surprises.

So are you moving everything there? Including the badminton cupboard? And what bout your girlfriend? And the racquets she uses??

I will take everything except my gf to Houston :p
(she is going to stay here herself. Yeah!! All my rackets are finally back to me!!)

I will be moving to houston around the end of July/beginning of August. Now, it's time to look for badminton courts.... :)

That sounds great. I will be driving to houston next weekend!! :)

For now, I don't sell rackets as much as before.

Hey Poeple from Houston,

I'm from San Jo, CA....visiting Houston on Aug 6-13. I'd like to find places to play during my visits. Can't live w/o badminton for a week. I'm staying at my cousin's place..somewhere Northwest of Houston abt 1hr away. Any recommendations. I'm about a upper C player...I think.

Thanks. :)

I went to the club yesterday and it was nice. (BTW, the tagging system is good, I have never seen anything like it :)) I was able to play two sets (4 games) because I was late (due to getting lost on the roads :p). I am sure I should be able to play 3 sets (6 games) or more if I go there ontime next week.

About Houston weather.....it's just way too hot. I was moving boxes under the temperature of 104F and I had to wear Very Cool shirts to keep my body cool. Certainly not a fun thing to do.
However, Houston is a very convenient place to live, especially I have all the stores I need nearby. Even the Honda service center is right in front of me, 6 flags right besides me, and wal-mart/kroger/target all in the same area, I have to say so far I like houston a lot! :)

You'll like it more once you start finding out things are a bit cheaper than other places....
Although it is hot(too hot) right now, wouldn't it be really nice to not deal with snow during winter, at all !!!!
