I've just moved to Plano from the UK and have found that the Carpenter Park Rec Center in West Plano - Coit & Legacy has 2 badminton nets. I usually play with plastic shuttles and would say I'm at an intermediate level. Anyone in Plano fancy a game? If so, mail me at huzkaderbhai@gmail.com.

Has anyone played at the University of North Texas or is that only for students of UNT ?

If anyone wants to arrange a game - drop me an email chickendonut@centurytel.net. I'm an intermediate.

**huz666** · 09-10-2006, 12:25 PM

It turns out that Carpenter Park in Plano uses racket ball courts for badminton, so that's utterly useless, especially with no line markings.

If anyone knows of anywhere in the vicinity I'd be grateful and available for a game.

Hi, all,

I am a British, very rusty, badminton player (female). As well as somewhere to play, I would love to find someone to play some friendly games with - who would be patient with my rustiness to begin with - or I would be happy to play with a beginner and give some amateur coaching/advice.

By the way, is there anywhere to buy a racket here in the Metroplex

**malayali** · 09-12-2006, 10:18 AM

Here are the places to play in the DFW metroplex...
Samuel Grand Recreation Center Tue & Thu 7-10 p.m.
Reverchon Recreation Center Mon 7-10 p.m. Sat 10:30 a.m. -1:30 p.m.
There are different levels of players there & you can easily pick up a game with a biginner group and/or an intermediate group.
BTW, it is $4.00 to play...

I'm not sure UNT(University of North Texas) allows outsiders to join our badminton session although we don't require any IDs to enter during Friday session unless you wanna borrow equipments. We're having two badminton sessions per week, Friday and Sunday with two different locations but it's just walking distance to each other. We're packed most of the time these days which it's a good sign that many people are getting interested in badminton. Most players here are beginners while a few of us are intermediates(including me

) and we do play matches together. Our population are mainly from India and Asia but European players these days also starting to join our crowd too

. Here are the details if you're interested:

Friday
PE Building
5:30 - 9:30pm
8 courts open(although there're spaces to hold 16 courts

)
ID not required unless you need to borrow equipment

Sunday
Recreation Center
5 - 8:30pm
3 - 6 courts open depends on situation
ID required upon entering and borrowing equipment

EDIT:
Just found out about Guest passes, here's the link

I would appreciate it if you could give me some contact info with a pm.

thanks,

I am from plano. but i dont know where to play in plano.
