Hi I am in Shanghai for a week.

I am living in Jia Ding district, transport not a problem as taxi everywhere and my wife is Shanghainese. Is there any club I can play?

Thanks
Anthony

There are several nice clubs in Shanghai, especially in Yang Pu District.
The ones I've been playing are not professional clubs but still it has been quite fun to play there

However, it might cause some unexpected situations if you just go there without any advance notice.

I am not going to play this week but please email the gentleman in the email adress below.

michaelcool@gmail.com

He can arrange you inside to the clubs..
He is a local player and really a nice guy.

Wish you get a chance to play

-Aapo-

Thankyou for the information. I am going to play tomorrow in the city, not sure where yet, but my wife is talking to him.
Cheers

Ok I played on Wednesday night at SHBC. I will give everyone the information so it can help future Shanghai visitors who wish to play badminton here.

The contact person is Miao. She only speaks chinese I think. I found her contact details on www.shbc.cn website. You have to ring her on ........ and put your name on the list for the next game organised.

I went to Xujiahui, about 4 train stops from CBD. Maybe 20mins by train. From there, it is only a quick 5 minute walk to this hotel ....... and you go behind the hotel and the badminton court is there. There are about 6 courts, quite clean, no smoking and the atmosphere was friendly.

The standard is just social, a few players are strong C grade maybe one or two are B grade level. I heard some players come on Sunday and are stronger, but overall its about C grade standard.

All the players there on Wednesday night were asian, some Chinese and some Malaysian I think. It went from 7pm to 10pm and the cost was 50RMB.

Cheers

I am here at the bund riverside hotel trying to find a place to play some badminton, but the staff here cannot help me. Would prefer playing with a team, but at this point anything will do. I am a C player but forgot my rackets. Help anyone??

If you can ferry over to PuDong 八佰伴菊园 ShiMao Garden Building. We have badminton courts here in the condo area for $50rmb/hr.

These are closest to you. try google map and copy ”羽毛球馆" text to find your badminton court. some courts are dirty and slippery.

as far as rackets and shuttlecock. this shop seems to the cheapest. make sure you give them the internet price. they jack up the prices of everything unless you told them you saw this price... sometime you can get the price lower, but you'll need to have a good shanghai accent and firm tone.

Plenty of places to play badminton in Pudong area in Dongxiu Road (near Century Park) & Yuanshen Stadium vicinity. Friendly matches welcomed too for both doubles & singles games.

Hi I will be in Shanghai for hoilday and thinking of joining someone to play on 27th afternoon and 28th morning and afternoon, can anyone help me?

**dennisng** · 01-23-2010, 09:13 PM

Hi Speedray:
Welcome to Shanghai. What's your current badminton playing level on a scale of 1 to 10 (I'd ranked Lin Dan / Lee Chong Wei / Peter Gade at Level 10)?
Which part or sub-district of Shanghai will you be located at?
Suggest you reschedule badminton for evenings, after 6pm as most places I know of are active after 6pm. How may I text you on your +65 XXXX XXXX GSM when you in Shanghai?

**speedray** · 01-24-2010, 07:00 AM

Dear all,

It seems that I'm hitting the right place this time. I have been looking for people that I can play and share the joy of playing badminton since I moved to Shanghai the beginning of this year. Could anyone please tell me how I can join this badminton club?
