    Hi,

    I have just moved to Toronto and want high level badminton, with feather shuttles.

    I am living near North York, I don't have a car and my nearest subway station is Bessarion and Leslie station.

    I am just next to North York general hospital.

    Need badminton near a subway station, I would travel 20-30 on subway.

    Please help!!:confused:

    I live near there too and I play some high level badminton on a regular basis.

    I can't think of any place near a subway station that plays high level and with feather. Most high level badminton clubs are in the markham/scarborough area which requires you to either subway + bus or use a car.

    There are community centers that you could go to, but they would most likely be intermediate level at best, and would play with plastic shuttles.

    Best place I can recommend for you right now is http://www.agincourtopen.com/

    Come on thursday/friday/saturday nights, and you will see many high level games with shuttles.

    Since you're from Ireland, I can suggest leaside badminton cuz I noticed a lot of European players there.

    T    hey use plastic but someone there will most likely be able to point you in the right direction once they see what level you play at. Intermediate-advanced level, but that's subjective.

    There are a lot of places with good players that are easy to get too. George brown college has a club. Agincourt, Ryerson university's badminton club, YMCA metro all have good players who only use feather.

    Drop-ins, wooden courts, feathers only. The regulars out there are friendly, and will also help you to find other places to play.
