Where to play in Ottawa? I might be moving there so i was wondering where the clubs are in and around Ottawa? Thanks.
If southern as in Barrhaven area, then there are 2 community centers/public gym you can goto: walter baker center - fridays 8pm-10:30pm and sundays 9am-12pm - $2.70 per session nepean sportsplex - sundays 8am-11:40am - havent' been here in a while, but around the same cos as walter baker clubs - goto the site above (place to play), look for manotick, laurentian, bell. bchaiyow
If you are fairly comfortable with intermediate to advanced play, I would suggest Westboro or Laurentian. If you're looking for higher level of play or you want to play alot, you may want to consider the RA center which you can get 16months membership for the price of 12.
Hey! I'll be moving to Ottawa for the next 4 months to work, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me some good places to play at and if anyone would wanna play with me?
Here's a link to places to play: http://www.badmintonottawa.com/WhereToPlay.php Any places I refer below is listed in the link above. As clubs will be closed at end of May, you can go to the Capital-Summer club or the RA Center. Not sure if you are here yet, but if you want to play now, the closest ones to you are Capital, Westboro, Hintenberg, and Swallow. 2 other places that are open all year long is Nepean Sportsplex and Walter-Baker Center (Jockvale). Sportsplex open Sunday 8am to 11:40am (limit 32 people - 4 courts) and Jockvale opens Friday nites at 8pm-10:30pm (very busy, not recommended) or Sundays 9am to 12 pm. These 2 places are not in the link below, just fo a search on google or ottawa.ca and you'll find addresses for them. bchaiyow
i'm not sure about the SBA affiliated ones, because like capital, they begin registration for a number of weeks (say all of summer or something like that), and usually people register real early. but i'm sure you still have a chance. i'm a member of Hintonburg Badminton Club, and as of right now, friday is the busiest night, due to the amount of high school players getting ready for the cities. sunday is your best bet, at 1:30pm-4:30pm. any other info, you can find at that site.
I won my first tournament, in mens doubles, and i am so happy, but for junior high there is no citys. :crying:
At the Capital summer club there are guest passes or you can drop in as a guest almost any night for $6. http://www.badmintonottawa.com/Capital-Summer/ Here's the website for more details.
Hi folks - Just moved to Ottawa, staying in Nepean, working in Kanata. Any suggestions on where I can find players for advanced/intermediate play? As well as any recommendations on where I could play? I'm looking to play at least 3 times a week. Pratik
@MBHS - thanks! I checked it out yesterday, it seems awesome. I'll be starting Monday! Cheers, Pratik
