    CCC Badminton: Where to go to buy badminton gears in Melbourne?

    Hi CCCers,

    I received an email from Daniel-H, a player who is new to Melbourne, asking "Where to go to buy Badminton gears in Melbourne?".

    We shall start a thread to give the required information.

    Cheers... chris-ccc

    Daniel-H is wishing to play with us tonight, Wednesday 21-Jul-2010, at MSAC.

    So I said to him;
    At MSAC, there is a shop that sells shoes and clothing. But goods sold there are rather expensive. There are cheaper places in outer Melbourne suburbs, but I don't think you will find time to get there.

    I don't mind to travel to the outer suburbs in my free time..

    I heard there's a shop called Stadium Sports, where is this shop located? how far from the CBD?

    I have been trying to find a place at the northern suburbs to buy a bag long/big enough to fit my entire racquet (and other stuff like shoes/towel), anywhere you guys can recommend? Google didn't help much, and i went to Rebel Sports but could not find any bags that met my requirements.

    Sportsmart has one of the bigger sports stores in Melbourne's northern suburb

    .
    If you are near the Melbourne's northern suburb of Northcote, Sportsmart is one of the bigger stores carrying Badminton goods.

    Here is a link for you: http://www.sportsmart.com.au/store_northcote.php

    But, it is better to phone them up first to check if have in stock what you are looking for.

    It's good that Stadium Sports continues to carry a bigger range of Badminton products

    .
    It is good that Stadium Sports continues to carry a bigger range of Badminton products for us, compared to our sports shops in Melbourne.

    I visited Stadium Sports a month ago. It's found that goods of other sports are slowly replacing Badminton goods in their shop space.

    There is a badminton shop along Clarendon Street heading towards MSAC. Been there once, they stock Victor, Carlton, Yonex, Mizuno and others. He can try his luck there.

    You can play with us, at CCC Badminton, with whatever you wear.

    The only thing is: We shall not allow you to damage the courts at MSAC. ;););)
