Hi everyone, post a photo of your local badminton gym where you play badminton. let's see how all the different badminton venues look like. i will start. first one is Golden Gate Badminton Club in Menlo Park, California, USA. second one is Smash City Badminton Club in Milpitas, California, USA.
I dare not post pics of our local gyms in Malaysia. It will definately look like a gym 30 yrs ago. But then not nessesary the best gyms will produce the best players.
it doesn't matter as this is not a beauty contest! it will be great to find out where our fellow badminton enthusiasts player our favorite sport. so please post it!
er.... not proud to be in Malaysia? heard that Sidek's family played at backyard and turn out to be legendary badminton family in world stage arena. true true.... good thread, kwun. we can share share the some nice, lovely, not bad, bad, funny, everything about badminton courts around the world... badminton's court/hall where we meet friends, colleagues, schoolmates, classmates, uni-mates, badminton's lovers, all kind of people. place of happiness or sadness. hall of fame?? courts of love? i will try to get some nice shots. simple hall, all badminton's hall, old halls, new halls, school's hall etc....
Been to the Balakong Stadium, ants? It looked just like kwun's except it's 8 courts on end with three private ones adjacent.
Here are a few of 3 Southern California baddie clubs.. ..first couple ones are pics from SGVBC (San Gabriel Valley Badminton Club, full-time local badminton club in L.A. County area)-pics courtesy of Viper2005 & DinkAlot ..the second set of pics are from OCBC (Orange Country Badminton Club, full-time local badminton club in Orange County area)-pics from 2006 U.S. Open ..and the last ones, and yet to open, is ABC (Arcadia Badminton Club) the newest full-time badminton club in the Los Angeles Area-pics courtesy of our DinkAlot..see thread below for more of ABC's infos.. http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=197 *there's another full-time badminton club in the Southern California region, called the MBBC (Manhattan Beach Badminton Club), but their pics are hard to find on the internet; would love to see the inside, if anyone has any pics SGVBC: OCBC: ABC:
Here's one from "Dewan Masyarakat" in Sandakan, Sabah, Malaysia. Not very lear though. I will post some from Ottawa next week.
Balakong stadium? Hmmm not yet. But there is one club coming up there. I know the owner. Drifit- Of course m proud of Malaysia. I was born and raised in Malaysia. And hope to die in Malaysia as well. Since you play in many courts.. let you have the honor to take pics and post it up here.
Referring to the ABC's pics??.. ..if so, yes, but slightly...I believe all the pics above, incl. those from kwun, with the nicer floor mats, are somewhat "raised"..You can read all about it in the thread link i've provided above..
CCC Badminton, Melbourne, Australia, venue photo Here is our venue@CCC Badminton, Melbourne, Australia. 4 Courts. Many lines, because it's a multi-purpose gym, but we are used to the lines... so, no problems at all. It's rubberised floor, so it's not slippery... and we love it there. Cheers... chris@ccc
Chris, it is a nice lovely place to play badminton. clean and tidy. as for many lines, can i do some line call cheating.... bad drifit, bad drifit
i think we are too spoiled here. almost every gym i have played before coming to California have lines all over the place like ccc's gym. sometimes we have thicker line because they think the basketball lines and decorations are more important. sometimes there are no lines at all!
Thanks for posting Chris, saved me some time. Yes, I believe we are lucky in Cali. Awaiting Jerry to post some nice Netherland courts. And maybe Yan-Yan with some Danish courts. What about France? Spain? England? I'm sure you gals n' guys have nice courts too. Singapore? South America? What about more placeds Down Under? This is an interesting and fun post.
wow the place kwun plays at is soo nice omg! mine is just my high school's gym with 4 courts, their nice wood floors that were resurfaced just last year. if i get the chance i will take pictures, we need new net xD though are were 10+ years old
