Where To Play In Calgary?

**action_man** · 08-19-2004, 10:52 PM

Hahaha this reminds me about that accident I had at the barber shop about a month ago, I had my hair comepletely shaved off (kinda looked like this:

, not a very pretty sight!)

Oh, and that guy can pull off some pretty amazing shots...Makes me wanna play more often...So, do you guys have coaches? I used to have one, until the club disbanded and he took all my money

. He said he used to be coach back in China (Kinda vague, I know...)

Really? You play at Village Square Leisure Center? (Me and my friends like to call it LC) I play there every few fridays from about 5pm-10pm, its basically the only place we go, since we live 5-10 minutes away from it...

By the way, do you go to the school across from LC?

Yes it is quite crowded, by me and my friends pretty much know 72% of all the people that play badminton there so on fridays we always have little wait time before we play, we practically own 3 of the courts, lol. Sometimes more, if we go there early, and on fridays my school lets us off at 2, so thats another reason we go on fridays
