    California Badminton Academy is this place, http://www.cbaweb.net, isn't it? Are you sure they have courts in Fremont or are they building a new place?

    so there is 18 courts, any details about how high the gym is? and are they going to have badminton mats (yonex or victor or other brands) or just wood floors like high school gyms?

    I believe they will have mats that absorb impact so nicer in knees and legs, I think it is a chinese brand that one of the national teams was training on, durable with good grip. Ceilings were 30+ feet higher than BBC

    Thanks kakinami. Look like a pretty good sized facility. And the mats sound great also.
