I normally play at Rosemount but it's actually really far from where I live.
Any suggestions as to where I can play in North York??

where in north york do you live? East side or west side?

way east. like, literally at the edge, right by scarborough.

I always hear of Rosemount
But I have no idea where it is, can anyone give me an address / time / $ to play there?
Thx

[Edit] Err sry I went through a couple more posts and found more info.

bathurst and westminster..
near the promenade mall
i know saturday schedule is 4-7pm $2 for student $5 for adult
7-10:30pm is same price

Rosemount is at the corner of Bathurst and New Westminster in Vaughan.
There's a high school (Westmount Collegiate), a community centre/arena, and a theatre there. It's quite big. You should be able to find it =)

The price is $2 for 18 or under...and $5 for 19+.
The schedule is somewhat different for the holidays. I myself am not sure what it is....

They are open this Friday (the 20th), so I hear.
Should be 7:00-10:30..
or 7:30-10:00.
SOmething like that =)

Anybody...correct me if I'm wrong please =P

wow.. $2..
thats much cheaper than the local ymca..
wouldn't it be.. VERY.. crowed for a high school, esp when its so cheap?
I'm pretty much a first-time beginner, so I dun think this place is right for me, maybe a little privacy would be good with a couple other friends who can't play very well :p

thx all btw

I hear theres a community center minutes away from Finch and Yonge
Mitchell Field C.C. at 89 Church Avenue
every saturday night theres badminton there, drop-in maybe?
if someone lives pretty near there maybe u could get some info and share it with the rest of us? ;)

its not very crowded on saturdays.. there are two gyms. go to the beginner one.. if you're not that good, don't worry, there are lots of ppl not that good in the beginner area. i mean complete newbies. :P

yep..there's also mitchell field. they have a session on tuesdays, i know for sure. however, i think they require signing-up for that.
tuesday...4:45-6:15. you can drop in and ask questions.
i've played there on tuesday before. it's run by the city.

interesting :p

There's also a badminton club at York Mills Collegiate at York Mills and Leslie. I've only been there once but its mostly adults but its fairly good competition. I'd say half are decent and half are just beginners. Overall, nice people but of course, you'll have the occasional jacka$$.
They play every Monday and Wednesday from 6:30-9:45pm. $7 guest fee, 4 courts. Check it out sometime.

anyone heard of a new recreation club called Int'l Badminton Club?

I was there at their opening day! It was like a fish market with players wearing dirty runners, street shoes, street clothing. Gee i certainly don't want to play there! but other than that, they've nine courts, bad marking, low ceiling. i feel cheap there!

so where exactly is this club?

Yea..

$10 everytime I enter that place

yes, I think its worth it

but..
eventually I wouldn't have anymore $10 to pay :(

hey, I know that this thread seems to be dead but I really need to know the schedule of Rosemount badminton sessions this year (2008) Anyone out there knows the specs about their badminton sessions? If so, please reply to this thread coz I badly need to know.
