    Hi just moved to Philadelphia and my boyfriend and I are looking to get into playing badminton doubles, we are both beginners, we have never really played before besides in school but we are both very athletic and coordinated. Is there a league or place to take lessons as beginner doubles? we would like something consistent that we could do on a weekly basis.

    Thank you!

    Hi triambukh,

    Is Bryn Mawr open in summer? Can you tell me their hours and exact location? I seem to be finding several places in Bryn Mawr area.

    Is it Monday and Thursday 8pm-10pm?

    Is Vincent still coaching? I've been looking for some clinic sessions for quite some time. Unfortunately, could not find anything until saw your post above.

    Thanks for your replies
