This is another place where i keep checking about "where to play badminton" http://www.worldbadminton.com/whereToPlay/unitedStates/index.html http://www.worldbadminton.com/whereToPlay/unitedStates/index.html#fl Good Luck
just wrote you a msg to your email address hi, i was hoping you found already something... maybe there is already something at some university (UNF, JU, etc.). I'll have access to UNF / YMCA and I'm going to check there if nobody's done it before.
i want to join Hi if you guys start a badmittion club i would like to join, i used to play in highschool at sandalwood highschool but that was some years back, i played at gainesville at their UF club but i graduated and would love to get a club started here
No good news Hi, I checked at YMCA and there is no badminton going on in their facilities. UNF told me that if we get 10 students interested, then we can start a club there. I was told also that there's a family that goes there once in a while, without an established schedule. I still couldnt talk to JU and JCC. I'll keep you posted, please check the thread regularly. Also it would be good to find more people interested.
Driving to play badminton Hi, Would anyone be interested to drive to some close city where there is some badminton games played? We could all go in one car - save some money...
hrm which is the nearest city? seems like if we can just get 4people that would be enough to find a place and just set up our own net we just need a gym, i know sandalwood highschool has a badmittion pingpong class so we could always ask to play there on weekends
Eager to Play Badminton Hey, Jax sucks man, I never saw a city without Badminton clubs. could anyone tell me, where can I find a Badminton Court. or can we get the number of ppl intrested in playing badminton. so that we can ask UNF
Follow up Hello,guys, I talked to YMCA and there are chances to start a club there (you need YMCA memberships, though). If this works out, there is no fee for the gym (apart from monthly membership). To follow up. The guys at UNF would be ok to let us play there as long as we pay. But, if we find enough students, we might get the gym for free. To follow up. Places to play badminton in FL - see : http://www.sbabadminton.org/wheretoplay/fl.htm We can try a few close clubs and decide. The closest are about 2 hours drive, I guess. For me, it's worth it, once a week, if we share the travel costs. If anyone knows about a gym that we could rent (or just use), that would be great. We'll start advertising etc and I'm pretty sure we'll find people. The most important is the place. So, guys, try to find a gym, if possible. Keep checking regularly this forum thread, I'll try to find a solution. Best
Hey Hey, im currently a student at UNF and am interested in starting a club there or somewhere in the jacksonville area. Otherwise, i would be interested in car pooling and going to a place thats 2 hrs away. Give me some feedback if your interested.
badminton tournament in Jacksonville,FL Hi Vimal, Just joined the forum. I have also been hunting for a court. We are conducting a badminton tournamnet at UNF volleyball courts on the 9th and 10th. We are trying a makeshift arrangement and will be using the volleyball court. The person in charge has said he will be able to tie the net at 5 ft. I may be taking some blue tape and marking out the court. This is more to start something rather than something very professional. It is for the gandhi foundation at UNF. There seems to be a facility in I95 and emerson where we can play badminton. I think they charge $60 for an hour. IF we book it for 2 hrs and have 12 ppl ( 3 sets for doubles) it will work out to $10.00 per head and then shuttles. we can play twice a month may be. we may have to figure out how to lay the court. again it is not a badminton facility. I am going there this friday and will let you know. you are welcome to come over and lets get creative check out jaxindoorsports.com. I just checked the site but it did not have badminton.
I am a member of an Indian association and last time when iIhelped conduct their sports events I made 5 ft poles with PVC tubesand and T-Joints. If we have the place we can taake this and assemble the poles and weight them down and play. the onlu pain to draw the court every time. the entire contraption can be dismantled and carried in pieces.
http://www.sbabadminton.org/wheretoplay/fl.htm thats a website with locations in florida. it seems like the closest location to jacksonville is about 2hrs away, i go to tallahassee and orlando to visit alot so i wouldnt mind playing out there.
YMCA follow Hi, I talked to YMCA and in principle they agreed on starting up badminton. Now they still debate over the schedule - I asked something during the weekend or evening so working people / students can participate. We should be able to find out soon when we can play there. Here's the phone number from YMCA : 292-0775 Here's my phone number from home : 322-8257 (I should be home mostly in the evening, 9 pm - 11 pm should be ok to call) We should start collecting phone numbers, it's easier to get in touch afterwards. UNF also might be a good place to play, they should have volleyball poles. But we need students to start the club for free there (otherwise they would charge for gym). The other place suggested earlier, 60$/h , it's not very bad either but I think we should be better off at YMCA or UNF. This way we have a flat rate monthly and we dont have to worry about not having enough people to pay for the day. Also, once member, other sports could be practised. And since there are so many YMCA facilities, I bet you they would be able to accomodate us a few times a week, here and there. Here are prices : http://www.firstcoastymca.org/membership/membership.htm Remember that if you have low income, you can get a very good discount (ask at the entrance / phone what forms and proofs are needed). Also, if wanted, you could buy membership only for a specific branch (cheaper, but I wouldnt recommend - as I said, they might let us play a few days a week at different branches). OK, I'm waiting to be called or to see more phone numbers. Let's get in closer contact and let's hope we'll start playing soon. Who's UNF student, try to find more students / push for a badminton club at UNF (maybe some posters to find others interested?). Thanks, Cornel
