They must have known you were coming, and cleaned up.

As a matter of fact, the janitorial stuff was cleaning up the courts as Rick, Rich He and us were pounding hard on the birdies.

Just wondering if it's a misprint on the age requirement and if anyone has more information on that session. Thanks!

I've never gone to the night sessions but I have gone during the adult sessions from 11:45am to 2:30pm Monday to Fridays. The level of play is fantastic and very competitive for all days except Thursday when a lot of beginners drop by to play. It's extremely organized for drop-in badminton since there is a sign sheet that shows the order of rotation for people on the courts and the same group of people usually show up creating a friendly atmosphere. I'm only 23 and have played for about 10 years. After playing in cambie i've developed a huge respect for the 40+, 50+ old ppl that play. I'd be extremely happy if i could play or maintain my level of play when i reach those ages.

One other tidbit....on the busy days (all days except thursday) it's advisable to arrive between 11:10am - 11:25 am cause there is only 26 spots ( i think ) availble.

Any ways, I'm also looking for some new blood to play with. PM me if you're interested.

Hmmm... Yah i always see a couple students peering through the windows watching ppl play. I'm the chinese guy that always wears a headband/bandana and a Nike dri-fit/sphere shirt when I play during the adult session.

Skipping school is not a good idea dude. Stay in school!
Cheers

ya....i was just kidding about the skipping skool thing lol. every weekday we sit tehre for about 10-15 min watching before leaving. we stay longer if theres rly decent games to watch or if tehres coach figures that we recognize playing like malisa or chris kwee. howie it wouldnt hurt to wave or sumfin once in a while hahaha.
