Lee's Badminton (Small Question)

[crazyboy139]

If you signed up for group lessons, what do u do when the time comes??
U just go in with your racquet and onto the court?
Where do u go?? :confused:

[Chu Pa]

Give Lee's a call and they will give you all the details.

[crazyboy139]

nvm u just walk straight into the court when the time comes :|

[reaper]

yeah, you do that when the time comes for your lesson, arrive there about 5-10 minutes earlier than your scheduled time ..........

[Jus_anothr_grl]

the group lessons there kinda suck unless you're in the advanced class...

[crazyboy139]

I'm taking the beginners lesson
the first one they provide
and mannnnnnnn is it ever sooooooooooooo boring
u got kids round 2/3 my age who can't hit anything
ZzzZZzzzZZzz..

[Jus_anothr_grl]

Hmm....I'm in the advance group at my training now, we do waayyyy more than other groups, also very tiring!! But hey, it's fun! :) I remember i was in the beginners group when it was the 1st lesson. Maybe I should have told the coach that I trained for 3 years already? lol. I moved to the other groups pretty fast once he found out I knew my footwork lol.

[Bombshell]

Good question, crazyboy. Usually I simply wait in the lounge, watch some ppl play through the window, look stupid, twiddle my thumbs, and when the coach of the group lesson opens the door and calls everyone in I follow along obediently like a herded sheep. And the lesson begins!

Oh, and if you're in beginners' and dearly hate it, use the time to practice with people there who might be more your level. And once the session ends, move up!

is that the one in mississauga?

[Jus_anothr_grl]

oh and by the way, yes lee's is really expensive. i (well, my parents) waste about $2000 a year for me there and plus, i can't stand some of the people there (but shh...don't tell anyone) so i'm probably dropping out of lee's next year

[chan]

i go on saturdays only, i go to the juniors to volunteer and help out, and then to seniors to play. =D. whats your name? haha i might have played with you, unless you dont go saturdays...

oh ya, my coach's name is minton... haha and he teaches badminton... lol..

yes it is in mississauga, at John Fraser. Im thinking of going into high performance next year, to improve my skills, as well as go on wednesdays... have you guys heard of bernard?

i haven't heard of bernard but i've heard of minton (minton wing right?). yeah. i've been to John Fraser a couple times for those Black Knight tourneys...wait...are you that guy that hit my friend on the head with a bird at pre-ofsaa's?

[chan]

lol... i dont think so, cause i didnt go to pre-ofsaa, although i did go to the turner fenton tourney... didnt do too well. (im playing up)... well ya, im not sure, but i think that there are a few ppl at erindale that are pretty well known. like barry, winston, maurice, bernard... ya... and it is minton wing. lol

[Jus_anothr_grl]

yeah...i sorta know maurice and winston. like, i know their names and they know mine but yeah. i dont really talk to them

[chan]

ya, maurice and winston are my friends, they make a pretty good doubles team, but maurice can have a pretty big ego.

[chan]

cause he plays up... sometimes he says he doesnt try... but he is trying... and he uses "playing up" as an excuse for losing...

[Jus_anothr_grl]

haha...he's pretty tall though so if he plays net, i dont think i'll get anything past him. funny how this thread started off about lee's and now we're talking about maurice...wow...talk about off topic

[chan]

true. lol. whats your name? maybe i know you lol.

[Jus_anothr_grl]

it's joyce but i dont think u know me

[chan]

nope...

[x-er]

chan say hi for me to stanley.

[x-er]

are you alan?

[chan]

nope, but i htink i know him... he has red hair right?

lol, ya bernard has a huge smash, its pretty hard to block. bernard is slow but he has very good footwork to make up for it...

[wildstyler]

Ya, Bernard's a funny guy, though chubby and well... if he sees this :D fat too. haha, but I guess you can have good, but fat badminton players.

Wildstyler

[chan]

haha... winston =D

anyway... this thread is really old...

[GATX102]

hey, does anyone know if Lee's has any like... just drop ins? or summer private programs, because im from mississauga... and sadly cant drive myself yet lol...

[Jus_anothr_grl]

well, like in the summer, Lee's has private lessons if you wanna sign up with a coach and they got group training too

[GATX102]

interesting.... anychance would you know the cost? or how they charge by...

[Jus_anothr_grl]

it's about $236.47 for the group training but it depends on the coach your want for the price of private training.

[reaper]

I agree, Bernard is hilarious! I trained High Performance with him (Lance Hunter was our coach). Bernard has a great smash but relies on it too much. But yeah, Bernard is really cool. Last time we played, Bernard beat me, but that was only a one-set match. I beat him 15/8, 15/3 once ....... but that was some time ago.

Hey reaper,
are you going to unofsaa? I hear you were planning to play with alex...:D
