View Full Version : Looking for players in San Francisco, CA
prophet 03-16-2003, 02:42 AM Hello all you badminton fanatics!
I'm new to this site, and relatively new to the sport (about 1 year).
Looking for playing partners around San Francisco or Pennisula.
I'm around Advance beginner/intermediate, but I've been playing with a
group of friends for the past year. I would love to play with some new friends
to see what level I'm really at and if I've improved at all. :)
If you have a group I could tag along with, that would be cool too.
Have a great one!

prophet 04-10-2003, 05:26 PM Hey Mesita1,
I actually play at westmoor sometimes on fridays and sometimes on saturdays. Maybe I've seen you there. When do you usually play at westmoor? When do you play at south san francisco? I've wanted to play at south san francisco, let me know when you go and maybe I could hook up with your group.
peace,
prophet

Lefty 04-11-2003, 07:23 PM Hi, if you have time, you can come down to play in San Jose State over the weekend. I think they have open gym on saturday and sunday from 2:30 all the way to 10:30. It's $2 every 2 hours.
I play there on sunday afternoon.
I"m from San Jose, does that count????
If you guys are interested, heres where i play..
Fridays-
-Branham High School 6pm-10pm (not so crowded, always a free court;) )
or
-Camdien 6mp- 10pm
Saturdays-
-San Jose State- 5pm-10pm
or
-Evergreen community college-6pm-10pm
Sundays!!!
-Andrew Hill 1pm-5pm
then..
-Overfelt high school- 6pm-10pm
I'm looking for a "decent" doubles player (guy and/or girl) that reliable, and maybe with a lot of power, since I'm a control-type player. (doesn't really matter though)
I'b been playing to many tourcherous doubles games with a partner with horrible reflexes, or is just to lazy to even try and hit the bird!
prophet 04-12-2003, 04:11 AM Hey steve (Mesita1),
If you go to Westmoor this saturday, I might be there. I'll look for you. I'm a big chinese dude with glasses, long hair and a goatee. Otherwise, I might go to south city this week. Its still at South SF high, right? The one off of El Camino Real? Are they open every weeknight or just M,W, TH?
Have a good one-
prophet
prophet 04-12-2003, 04:16 AM Hey odjn and Lefty,
Thanks for the invite to San Jose. Its a bit far for me, but I might be in the neighborhood this weekend to visit a friend in Mountain View, so you never know.
email or PM me your cell number and I'll buzz you if I'm in the area.
Joseph 04-12-2003, 11:07 PM when your near san jose, go post back here and tell us where youll be playing at...maybe we can get a doubles game going on.
odjn,
are you a highschool player? what would you consider your level of play to be? cause i too would like to have a decent doubles player to play with so i can play at more open gyms and improve more.
Joseph...
I consider myself an intermediate, with olympic status reflexes. My friends brother is not human, and he smashes like an andriod from DBZ or something, but I'm able to return his smashes most of the time. :p
Hope your my level, becuase I tend to improve more if I play someone exactly my level. I sometimes hate playing with my friend (who sux) or my friends older brother (whos not human) all the time.
xsleepyaznb0ix 04-13-2003, 02:21 AM hey any one know any other places in the bay area to play in? im an amatuer/ itermediate player or lil worst.
prophet 04-13-2003, 03:22 AM Hey Steven (Mesita1),
Are you and your Terra Nova buddies playing tomorrow(sunday)? I was thinking of going back to westmoor tomorrow, coz I didn't get enough of a fix of badminton tonight. Maybe we could get some people together and play some more.
later,
-prophet
prophet 04-13-2003, 03:24 AM Dear xsleepyaznb0ix,
What gym do you usually play at? What city are you close to?
-prophet
at my school (Gunn High), we have open gym for our badminton club at our school. This month we will most likely have it open on the 19th and the 26th from about 1pm to 3pm, we usually stay longer tho. Since its a club at our school, only people that go to gunn are suppose to go, but since no one ever shows up anyways we have like 4 open courts.
Would like to invite mostly just high school students who wanna play against an average group of players.
Ok, reply back if anyone is interseted.
Late
xsleepyaznb0ix 04-14-2003, 01:41 AM I live in Pacifica. i normally go to westmoor since its close to me and its open at convient times for me. But when i do have time and a ride i will go over to el camino or south city to play.
xsleepyaznb0ix 04-14-2003, 03:32 AM By any chance does any one know the times for the el camino gym, south city and the city colledge gym times? Im not exaclty sure on where to find the times. any infomation is welcome. thanx.

xsleepyaznb0ix 04-15-2003, 11:13 PM hey anyone going to play badminton wednesday ot thursday? Because im intrested in going to play but i want ta go with some one so i dont have to wait for courts that much.
prophet 04-16-2003, 02:13 AM Hey xsleepyaznb0ix, Mesita1
Are you guys playing wednesday (tomorrow)? I was thinking about heading over to South SF high tomorrow, want to meet up? I dropped by there tonight (tues) and also at El Camino High, but I didn't see anyone. I still don't know what the schedule is for South SF or for EL Camino High, do you guys know their schedule?

steve
xsleepyaznb0ix 04-17-2003, 12:39 PM hey, any one going ta play on thursday or friday?
Joseph 04-17-2003, 01:54 PM I'm thinking of visiting on a gym on friday to play badminton...just dont know what gym i will go to...
xsleepyaznb0ix 05-05-2003, 11:55 PM Evening every one,
Im here to ask if any one knows where i can play badminton 2 marrow night around the bay area. would be better if it was close to San Francisco. Thank you for your time.
lilayzunboi 06-13-2003, 10:40 PM Im probably waking up an old thread, but I am looking to play somewhere with someone. Aragon doesn't have coaches with enough effort to open the gym over summer, but it would be nice to play. So where to go? Who to play with?
In the summer theres gonna be open gym at san jose state. On saturday and sunday the gyms open at around 1-5. There two gyms, so don't get your hopes down if one's closed. It's 2 bucks to get in so don't forget your wallet.
Letour 07-17-2004, 10:13 AM A newbie (only to this forum) here. Moving to Bay Area first week of August. I just want to revive this thread to see if there are any badders in the Bay Area. I wish to start a regular gig of badminton.
Thanks.
prophet 07-18-2004, 03:46 PM Letour, you are welcome to join my group to play.
PM me when you get to the bay area.
Joseph 07-19-2004, 12:38 AM Let us know what part of the bay area exactly so that we can tell you what gyms are closer.
Letour 07-19-2004, 03:23 AM Prophet and joseph,
I will be studying at USF (Law masters) but will live in Pacifica. Willing to play a a twice or thrice weekly gig. Almost anywhere, I guess.
Thanks.

Letour,
USF, cool coincidence. I'm finishing up my Masters in Teaching at USF also. I heard that there is actually badminton at the USF gym Sunday mornings, but I've never gone since it doesn't fit into my schedule. I play at other locations on weeknights. I also currently live relatively near Pacifica (in Daly City).
Yea, just PM when you get into town, and also if you need any USF/SF related info.
peace,
odiee 08-04-2004, 05:56 PM hey everyone here are some gym times from the city to sj. i'm down to play if anyone wants to go today to south city?

This may be a little late for this thread, but I just joined today, so I'm new to this forum. =)
I am looking for a playing group around Fremont area also! I saw a lot of messages about SJSU open gym. I wouldn't mind going there once in a while as well, but it'll be better if it's around Fremont area. =)
Thanks!

They are at:
41800 Blacow Rd.
