    Hi everyone,

    I am quite new in Kobe and I would like to play badminton in Kobe or Osaka. I used to regularly play badminton in my hometown for two years, so I am not a beginner, but also not very good ;) I am looking for

    - a club that offers regular trainings
    - a private badminton coach for individual lessons
    - people that are interested in just playing doubles and have fun

    Interested? Do you have any suggestions?

    Thanks for any information. I am looking forward to playing badminton again!

    Latest information for you here. Last time back in 2014 there used to be a famous badminton coach from Osaka City named Minoru. He is active in this forum himself. Minoru a famous coach from Osaka City became a member in this forum since 9th January, 2014. You can send him a message directly if you wish to play in Osaka City.

    This is the link to play badminton at Osaka City. Coach Minoru posted this link at this forum for those who are interested to play in Osaka and be coached by him. However, the website is in Japanese language. If you cannot understand what is written at the website, let me know then I will translate them for you into English because I have basic Japanese knowledge. Here is the link.

    Hi blabl,

    thank you very much for your immediate answer. I already contacted the coach Minoru two weeks ago, but unfortunately, it seems that he only offers training in Kyoto at the moment. He recommended somebody else in Osaka, but so far I didn't get an answer from him.

    You can try to click the link that I have posted to you and see if you can find a nice and suitable group to play with in Osaka. But I think you have to type in Japanese as everything in the website is also written in Japanese. By the way if you cannot understand the content of the website, let me know then I can translate it for you. :)

    Thanks, I know the meetup-group and played there already twice. It was fun and I definitely will go there again, but I also look for some training and more regular practise.

    I will check the second link you posted, thank you very much for your help!!

    Of you are free then you can go to Kyoto to meet up with Coach Minoru. Then perhaps you can train under Coach Minoru once a week or once a month.

    You are right, I just hoped to find something closer to my place. I was too optimistic and thought that it should be easier to find a place to play
