oakland/ piedmont?? badminton??

There's Bret Harte Jr High in Oakland.. it cost $2 or something like that...although it seems like people just dont pay at all. they operate on Tue and Friday 6-9 last ive heard. They have like 4 courts. Ive only been there once.
And then there's something at Lincoln Recreation center ( the place with the big wooden ship playground) in Oakland Chinatown. its free, but only 2 courts, and the floor is slippery. I dont play there either, heh.

You could always signup for classes at the local community college (i think its too late now) like Laney College or COllege of Alameda. Probably the cheapest way to play if you play often.

 

Anybody could please update this? Is this place still open?

 

Go to GGBC on weekends, plenty of players, nice courts, meet Sally Yeh.....Sally is in HK....:crying:

 

Bret Harte Jr. High School has opened. Their schedule is as follows Tue and Fridays from 6-9 pm. The fees are $4 and $3 for HS students

It is located on Coolidge Ave.

Hope this helps.

 

Great, I did a search and could not find the school. what is the exact address?

 

Here is the address

Have fun

3700 Coolidge Ave.
Oakland, CA 94602

 

hi all! i'm coming to oakland, CA for 4 months, and would really need to keep in shape and continue my practices. Is the Bret Harte Jr. High School ok for badminton games? Hope to play with you, just let me know...

You can email me kaypz@yahoo.com. thanks!

 

yes it is open for games on tues n fri just as the post above says. many good players

 

thanks sam! looking forward to play there!!

 

hi! we went to the campus last Tuesday, but saw a posted notice that the badminton games there were revoked already. May I know what happened? Where can I play nearby?

 

i just know there is one in Fremont call UBC...

 

Come to the University Village tonight. There is a gym at the southwest side of Monroe St. and 8th St. at Albany, CA. It opens Thursday 9:00 ~ 10:30 PM, Saturady 6:30 ~ 8:30 PM, and Sunday 8:30 ~ 10:00 PM. Just get in and sign the sign up sheet. It is supposed for university village tenant. But nobody really cares. Or you need to pay $45 ? each semester or $4 or 5 each time. Only two courts and poors light tough. But there is very few people and better than nothing if you really like badminton.

 

Just a heads up..

Open gym at Bret Harte Jr. High School located on Coolidge Ave, Oakland is still closed as of 5/31/2008...

I drove all the way there, through the boondocks, only to find kids loitering around. haha. silly me.

 

Bret Harte badminton club closed

hi Goldenbear! Really sorry, i should have written this months ago.

I played there only once, around March. We came back once more, and found that the badminton club there has been revoked. We drove a long way to get there too.

 

Players for Piedmont!

you guys sure have alot to choose from! It's amazing!

 

GGBC2 in Emeryville should be very close for you if you decide to play. Check it out at
