    Session Fees

    Hi Guys,

    Good News!

    Session fee remains @ $5 for 2008

    That's 2 Hours of play in 2 courts + Aerosensa 30 Shuttlecocks! I can't find any better deals than that, anywhere, at the moment! :D

    Hi leesc07,

    Thank you for the inquiry.

    Nope do not have any sessions on Sun.

    Hi Xuguochuan,

    The group mostly play doubles but courts are available for singles play if you want towerds the end of session, when the players are tired.

    Hope to see you guys :D

    Thank you guys for coming yesterday :cool: had a great time playing!

    Better players will be invited personally to join us for our weekly games. :D

    If you're staying near the west area and free on Mondays, please join us for a game! Badminton is a good sport to invest time in, as you can play till you're 65++ years old.

    Have a Nice Day!

    Hi Guys!

    Thank you all who turn up today.

    We have about 20 players this evening and the captain is very happy. However he says we'll stop the invites for now, for the badminton central guys who came (about 6) to settle in as regulars, for our weekly Monday games. :D

    Court will be extended from 2 Hours play to 3 Hours play this coming week 110208 from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

    Will post again when population decreases, please check back this post for vacancies.


    Wishing you "Gong Xi Fa Cai" and "Good Health" for more badminton games.:p

    2 Vacancies Available

    Hi Guys,

    There's 2 vacancies available for the group.

    Am trying to keep it to an average of 20 players per week, as one player is having exams and the other is going overseas for work.

    Currently the team has extended the timing which runs from 6:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m.

    Using SinTec Shuttles as they offer better flight consistencies.

    So it's $5 for 3 Hours play using Sintec Shuttles on 2 Courts.
    Can't find a better deal than that anywhere in SG at the moment! :p

    Looking for 2 more players to join on a consistent basis. Please do not come if you already have groups to play with on Mondays.

    Players must be average/advance levels, with badminton gears.
    For example badminton shoes, recently strung rackets. You will not believe it when i see guys who come with jogging shoes, racket with strings still printed with the yonex logo when they first bought it from the shopping centre, wearing burmudas... claiming to be average/advance levels, when beginner/intermediate is a more fitting description.

    Average means:
    Can do baseline forehand clears
    Drop/Lift from net
    Basic smash
    Backhand clears to tram lines.
    >70% of return shots crosses the net, no self error (suicide)

    Advance means:
    Backhand Drop or Smash
    Jumping Smash
    Play the game with a strategy in mind
    Push to mid court
    Smash retrieval with push to mid court or high lifts
    >90% of return shots crosses the net, no self error (suicide)

    Please contact me if you can make it for Monday's game.


    Hope to See You Soon & Have a Nice Day! :)
