    Hi!

    I'm currently an exchange student in KTH from Hong Kong and am a big fan of badminton.

    I would like to seek some good badminton players to play with me in Stockholm. I have been playing badminton for 7 years, but I am not a professional competition player. It'd be a great learning opportunity for me to play with some challenging players. :)

    Also I would love to join a good training club to train myself better footworks. I will be staying in Stockholm for a few months, from now to the end of May. Do you have some suggestions? I've heard of Täby Badminton Club, but it seems to me it's far away? (forgive my ignorance of swedish geography). How much?

    Recently, I have plenty of free time. If you're free and interested in playing with me. Please tell me. Tack tack!:)

    Nico, are you still in Stockholm?

    Henry

    Hi Henry!

    You can check out
    http://www.badminton.nu/Organisation.aspx?OrgElementId=104

    the selection-listbox after the "Föreningar" on the page is the local stockholm clubs, you can select to get contact info.

    That said I think most of the clubs usually have limited courts and usually do not expect drop-in players, so its better to contact some of the clubs beforehand, maybe ssek some private coaching to get help to establish what level your game is, to find appropriate playing groups/Sessions.

    The most central stockholm badminton venues are Tennis-stadion (very close to KTH main campus), and Badminton-Stadion at Södermalm.

    Täby has some coaches from China, so that may be of intrest for you if you speak chinese..

    good luck,
    Twobeer

    Ooh, I though they all just spoke Chinese (just kidding) :D ....


    At least Zhang Yi there used to play for Guangdong province team, so I guess he speaks Cantonese ;)

    Thank you, guys!
    It would be great that the coach speaks cantonese! But mandarin would be fine too. By the way, do you know some other players living in Stockholm in this forum? Maybe we can have a badminton event. :)

    Hi, I will be back in Stockholm between Sept 16 - 21 and looking for some friendly games, preferably Single game but double is just fine. My office is near Soder Malarstrand.

    If you have any info about where to play or keen to have a small friendly match, please let me know.

    Looking forward your reply guys!

    I thought you should be in the introduction thread.

    In any case, we welcome all who are interested in badminton. Indeed badminton in the Philppines has soared so much higher and the prize money for the Philippine Open has increased.

    Hope you'll stay long here. :)

    Hi!
    you can rent badminton courts in stockolm??? Cool! I would like to know how must time you can play when you rent and how much do you pay for it?
    Starting renting badminton courts in Portugal is ideal if you want to be a homeless! But I would enjoy know how that works in other countries!

    The badminton courts are usually rented on hourly basis.. Prices vary quite much. it is for example much less expensive to rent one hour during datima, than evening etc.. it is also rebates for students etc. and also rebate coupongs for prepaid hours etc..

    Prices I've sen vary from 70 Swedish kronor to 160 per hour...

    Some places also offers season-cards entitling you to play on courts not occupied, as a good deal. But then you are not guaranteed to have court available..

    cheers,
    Twobeer
