Badminton in Atlanta

[nedar]

I think I'll call them and see if they'd be open to letting us use the gym if we could get a club together.

Ya, that would be great. I visited KSU this weekend and found out to open a club we will have to get 15 KSU students to sign up as members to get a club going. But please do inform us about your findings.

I called the athletic department, but wasn't able to reach anyone. How do we get 15 KSU students to sign up?

[QUOTE=MitTime]Hi,
I'm just getting into Badminton, and I live in Roswell, Ga (north of ATL). Are there any age limits on playing? I'm 17 right now and I'm looking for someone to teach me some tips and gameplay. I would like to play badminton through college (Georgia College and State University) next year. So mainly, I'd like to see if i'd even be able to participate in these clubs like Ga tech.

Thx

Sean,
I live in Dunwoody area zipcode 30350. Can anyone guide me where to go for that. From whatever I have read on this forum, choices are limited and chances bleak I would appreciate any help.

Hi
Hmm, I didnt follow up with it.. But now that KSU is starting for fall semester, It's probably good time to follow up or try to get a club going.

Sorry about interrupting.

Does anyone know a contact or a place to play in Savannah GA. I will be in town for business at the end of Sept and was wondering whether anyone in Atlanta knows what is happening in Savannah?

Thanks for the help.

Greetings! I have just started a badminton club at Georgia Southern in Statesboro. We are looking for members and players, so please come by and join us! We meet on Thursdays from 8-10pm in the Hanner Complex in the Old Gym. If you need directions/more information, please let me know!

Hey everyone,

I'm new to the site and these forums. I haven't played badminton for about 6 or so years, but it was really the only sport I enjoyed and did alright at. I would love to play, but it seems nearly impossible to find a place to play here.

I was just wondering if there have been any new clubs that have opened, or if anyone is collecting names of people that would be interested in playing in the north Atlanta / Marietta area. If so, you can consider myself interested. =)

Please let me know. I'm by no means a pro, but I did play a few nights a week for a couple of years, so I'm not really a beginner either (though probably a bit rusty).

Thanks!

I may have found a place for us to play. I contacted the gym coordinator at Chastain Park this week and she replied right away that she was "excited" about starting a club at some place called Peachtree Hills Gym (I'm not even sure where it is). She is going to look at her schedule to see what times she has available and she has asked me whether weekends or weekday nights were better for us.

I am hoping that those of you will join me in starting this new club. If you are interested, let me know, and let me know what day(s) work for you. We will do our best to coordinate.

Hopefully everything will work out and we'll have a new place to play.

Chris

[trnelson]

Woo!

Thanks Chris. I would be able to make it out probably one or two nights a week. Weeknights are probably best for me, though likely not on Fridays if possible (that's my "kick back and stare at the wall after a long week" night).

Please keep us updated on where and when, hopefully we'll be able to organize enough players to make it happen.

Also, I'm not sure where Peachtree Hills Gym is, but if you happen to learn about where, please let us know.

Thanks!

(oh yeah, now I have to get a racquet, mine's in Canada!)

I would really be interested in playing. I live up in Cobb myself and that drive down to Decatur was getting really difficult to do.
If you need a hand in trying to get this organized I can offer some time.

Just let me know.

That sounds great. We found another place, it's a goup of players that used to play at Georgia State University. They are starting to play next week at the Decatur Rec Centre. The person to contact is: Kim 404-281-2856 or Sue 770-377-3404. Just arrange with the on the details etc.

Hi,

I am new to Atlanta and I have recently moved from Singapore. I used to play a lot of Badminton in Singapore. I am looking out to start playing badminton in Atlanta vicinity. I am currently staying in a hotel in N. Druid Hills area and planning to move out to a place convenient to play Badminton as well as to go to work place (Coca-cola plaza). If you could help me to find out a place to start playing Badminton I will appreciate your help.

Regards

I found a Peachtree Hills Gym at this address 308 Peachtree Hills Ave, Atlanta GA 30305- It is apparently near the Lindbergh Marta station (according to Google) . I couldn't find a website for the gym though.
