If southern as in Barrhaven area, then there are 2 community centers/public gym you can goto:

walter baker center - fridays 8pm-10:30pm and sundays 9am-12pm - $2.70 per session

nepean sportsplex - sundays 8am-11:40am - havent' been here in a while, but around the same cos as walter baker

clubs - goto the site above (place to play), look for manotick, laurentian, bell.

If you are fairly comfortable with intermediate to advanced play, I would suggest Westboro or Laurentian. If you're looking for higher level of play or you want to play alot, you may want to consider the RA center which you can get 16months membership for the price of 12.

i'm not sure about the SBA affiliated ones, because like capital, they begin registration for a number of weeks (say all of summer or something like that), and usually people register real early. but i'm sure you still have a chance. i'm a member of Hintonburg Badminton Club, and as of right now, friday is the busiest night, due to the amount of high school players getting ready for the cities. sunday is your best bet, at 1:30pm-4:30pm. any other info, you can find at that site.:D;)

I won my first tournament, in mens doubles, and i am so happy, but for junior high there is no citys. :crying:
