Chun,

do you normally play there? i used to go when my regular gym was closed earlier in the summer. but these days i am going back to my regular gym as Pleasanton is a little bit far for me. may be next year. enjoy!

kwun,

I usually play either at pleasanton or at fremont only cause it's convenient since I live in Oakland.

Where's your regular gym kwun?

Monto,

I used to play in Irvington Community Center. But since I've been to Pleasanton, I like it there better - more courts and longer playing time. If you've been to pleasanton on Sat, I probably have seen ya play. Do you play on Sundays at pleasanton?

anybody have the direction or address to this place in pleasanton?

from SJ area: go 680 North towards Dublin, take Stoneridge exit, turn right, stay on Stoneridge. around 1 mile or 2, turn right on Willow, the gym is to your left hand side, you should see a parking lot and a big "gymnasium" sign.

janet and i got bored at home so we went there to play tonight. we enjoyed it, didn't have to wait for too long, the gym floor is nice. and we played good opponents too.

me and couple of my friends goto pleasanton gym every sunday... around 6... we suck though.... hmm Chun do you wanna train me ? :) lol i shuld go there shout out CHUN!!!!!!!! hehe -_-;;;


I used to go irv. community center too.... like friday and some sundays..... pleasanton gym... lines r freaking hard to see ... :confused:

I went to the pleasanton gym last sunday and I got there around 1:30pm and left at around 6 when they closed, I forgot to check the opening times though, I believe they've changed now, does anyone know the # to the school so I can call them up and ask or maybe the new hours? Thx in advance

Hi, I was wondering how many courts there are here..and what're the skill levels? I've never been to an open gym before and I don't want to go there and get beaten left to right..and does anyone know how long you can stay on a court?? thanks a bunch.

9 courts. i suggest you sit down and watch the players, pick some who are at your level and ask them if they want to play.

you can stay on the court for a match, best of 3 sets.

anyone know if Thomas Hart is for Pleasanton residents only now? (verify by driver's license) I haven't been there for a few months now, but would like to go back, but talking to two people, they both said Pleasanton's gone exclusive :confused:

does anybody have a schedule on thomas hart for friday badminton.

i haven't been back playing since school started(fresno,csu) at thomas hart( 2hrs driving to and 4hrs round).

I've been in modesto and will be in there for alot of fridays to come and would like to play.

any player want to play on friday care for an extra player. "Dress like professional but play like>>CRAP."

oh, just to let the BF'ers know, if anyone of BR'ers happen to be near Fresno, we have open gym for badminton on sunday from, 6pm-9.30pm at CSU, Fresno in the south gym. Lots of people with all kinds of level, 6 courts, winner stay, and 3sets.

Referring to my post above, I'm not sure if Pleasanton's gone city residents only (that is, non-residents not allowed), but I still subscribe to their weekly gym hours updates:

Wednesday from 7:00 to 10:30 pm
Friday from 7:30 to 10:30 pm
Saturday from 7:00 to 11:00 pm
Sunday from 6:00 to 10:00 pm

Seeing how you're driving up from Fresno, you might want to check out Bintang (about 20-30mins drive closer than Pleasanton). Many posts about the place, including pictures, read around

school is almost over, for me.

monto, it's closer for me to drive from fresno to pleasanton, just 2hrs, beside my older brother lives in modesto therefore more feasible.

monto, do you have the schedule for thomas hart for their summer session?

i play their a few times on saturday, and once on friday people seems nice now that they know i drove over 2 hrs, but before that, man it sucks.

monto when do you play at pleasanton?

monto when do you play at pleasanton?I go occasionally on the weekend or Wednesday, depending on how lazy I'm feeling to drive the 20mins ;)

i'll be there today, leaving in about an hour

Went their last saturday(5/22/04) it was great, the people are "still" friendly and the playing hours long. The atmosphere was fine although some people got mad at me for leaving the door open when i went to get a drink and let in a draft, sorry, it was my bad.

It was great to be playing again after a absence of mind for badminton, and afterward i was in pain, but anway, anybody wanna play this saturday?

I go occasionally on the weekend or Wednesday, depending on how lazy I'm feeling to drive the 20mins ;)From the perspective of a badminton fanatic (ahem), the walk from the station takes about 30-35mins ;) but a 2hr drive :eek:

i was wondering if anybody has thomas hart gym schedule for the summer, or their mailing list in pleasanton.

i am want to play more over the summer and thomas hart is the nearest to me. thanks

their schedule changes every week. this week's schedule is as follows:

Schedule for this week's play at Thomas Hart:

I just got done mapquesting the Pleasanton gym and WHAT A DRIVE Kwun!(Gas)http://www.badmintoncentral.com/vb/images/smilies/eek.gif There are gyms in San Jose too, why not go to those? I know bintang is always open although it might be expensive if u're not a member. Camden Lifetime Center is open every Friday and Silver Creek too i believe. The coach at Fremont often opens his gyms on the weekends. There are a few others gym open too that i can't think off the top of my head. Pleasanton sounds nice though with their 9 courts, but is there anything else that may make it worth going to? =)

Where do you play at? Maybe we've played each other before?

The coach at Fremont often opens his gyms on the weekends. which gym/coach would this be? I'm in Fremont and would love a shorter commute :)

Hey,
Lately I've been playing mostly at Bintang because of their long open hours, but i try to go for the open gyms since there isn't a $5 fee to play. I'll be getting membership soon so it won't be a problemhttp://www.badmintoncentral.com/vb/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif Basically, I play where/when it fits my schedule, Bintang regularly though.

Fremont HS is often open on Saturday/Sunday either in the big gym or the small gym starting around 5pm.

Does it cost any money to go to the pleasanton gym. i've personally haven't been there so i want to kno (And ive searched this thread and some others and i still cant find it...)

Thanx:D
