    <html>I would like to either<br>form a Badminton club or attend one in the Central Florida area. Are you interested in forming one or know of a place to play? I discovered that a senior's event was held in Kissimmee late last year, but I have not been able to find any contact information for that event. I noticed that Tampa, St. Pete and Miami all have some Badminton clubs,<br>but there does not appear to be any location's in the Orlando area.

    Where to play in Central Florida?

    Any nearby clubs in the Orlando area(most prefered)? I know of local college campuses such as UCF that have a Badminto facility, but are there any local clubs or other places to play?

    Ralph, there isn't a baminton store in that area and I don't know where
    those players buy their supplies from but you can ask them or let me
    know. I purchase mine from a few very good vendors.

    Okay I will ask them. Which vendors to you get you equipment from? My grandpa is coming to visit from the Philippines at the end of March so I will ask him to bring over some feather shuttlecocks and maybe shoes and racquets too.

    I attend the University of central florida, and yes someone needs to bring you in. All students or faculty have I believe 3 passes that allow you to bring someone in with you. You can also purchase a gym membership although its a bit pricey especially for a poor college student like myself. :D

    I am located in Orlando. Does anyone play at the Orlando Racket Club in Winter Park, and also at the College Park Community Center? I am not a UCF student... and also it's a bit far since I live in downtown. I am new at the sport (in fact I barely even know the rules) but I have experience in tennis, so in badminton I'll be probably very rusty and confused at first... but will soon pick it up to an intermediate level. Also, I'll be trying to see if I can reach some competitive shape... so I wouldn't mind practicing for 2-4hr. per day. Also, are there any other places to practice in the Orlando area?

    Non-ucf location...

    You should still contact the UCF group and they can help out more.

    The Badminton Club @ UCF
    Email: badmintn@pegasus.cc.ucf.edu
    Web: http://badminton.ucf.edu/

    I'm a UCF alumni so I don't get to play much these days. I'm pretty rusty by now but if you find a beginner's group let me know as well.

    Hope it works out,

    Bernie
