    I have just moved to Tainan and would like to know if there are any active clubs in the city? Been asking around and doesn't even seem like there is an amateur league here.

    Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

    From what I have seen in Asia, the style of organisation is active groups rather than clubs.

    You might get better success by asking for groups that you can join, rather than clubs.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Do you mean I should use the Chinese word for group rather than club? I'm not sure what the difference is other than it being a different word.

    A club might imply a physical premise that they permanently occupy. There would be very few of these.


    A group rents badminton courts at certain times of the week.

    If possible, could you write a little feedback on your experiences on finding badminton? It would be incredibly helpful for future reference. Thanks.

    Would you use Tencent?You'd better join in a Badminton QQ group and ask the group member
