Training in Minnesota

**benfok** · 10-21-2002, 12:45 PM

Anyone in Minnesota, USA, who is interested in training? I had some training for two month but the coach had to split so no more training.

I know a place where people can train and if I can drum up enough people to make it financially feasible, it would be a lot of fun.

Hi Ben,

I am in Minnesota. How much is the cost and can you provide me with more information?

Where do you normally play?

**benfok** · 10-21-2002, 01:58 PM

I should say I know a place where there are courts available for training, but not the actual training itself. I am thinking about organizing some form of training but I am nowhere near being qualified to train anyone.

By training I mean basic footwork and reflex training. Maybe an hour a week.

Let me know if you have any ideas of your own.

where is that place at? If it is not too far, I might think about it.
I am wondering if I will drive half an hour for just an hour play.

Where do you normally play?
I normally play on wednesday and friday night, if you are interested, you can join me and my friends.

Here are some info:

Capital City Adventist Christian School
1220 S. McKnight Avenue
St. Paul, MN 55119

I live in Apple Valley and it only take me about 15 minutes to get there.

Let me know what you think.

Oh, I heard of this place before, but I thought there is no longer available as a place to play badminton anymore?
I live in Burnsville, but one hour play is kinda too short though.

Place and schedule where I play:

Wednesday 7.30pm - 10pm
Saturday 3pm - 5.30pm
Eisenhower Community Center
1001 Highway #7 Minnetonka, MN 55305

About 20 minutes drive from Burnsville in nice weather.

Yes. The guy who previously maintained the club went back to California. He was also the coach who trained me.

I am thinking about organizing something at the place. The woodbury high school club is quite crowded and not many people are interested in doing any training.

I work in burnsville at BF Goodrich on CR 42 and Judicial Rd. I wonder if there is any place near Burnsville that we can play. Perhaps we can drum up enough people south of the river to come.

As far as I know, there is nowhere near Burnsville has a place available for badminton. Unless you are a member of the Northwest Athletic Club, I heard there are some members play on a tennis/volleyballl court once a while.

Or you can check out some other places to play in MN at http://www.usabadminton.org/

Most of the badminton places I play at needs at least 20 - 30 minutes drive from Burnsville.

That sucks in winter.

Sorry to resurect an old thread, but did you guys ever find anywhere south of the river to play? I'm living in Inver Grove Heights and looking for a place to play that isn't quite so far.
