Let’s play air-badminton!
You either love it or you don’t like it. It’s that simple. One likes the wind in his hair and the other struggles with it. One likes the dynamics of the game and the other gets discouraged by unexpected factors that can influence the game. What on the one hand is the strength of Air-Badminton is on the other hand also a downside for some. In short: You love it or hate it. Air-Badminton is often compared to traditional badminton, yet it is a unique sport with its own shuttle, its own rules and offers many possibilities. In the appendix some information and the rules of air badminton.
Bavio has purchased four air-badminton sets and we can of course try them out right away when the weather is nice. In the summer we play indoors in De Vaart on Mondays and outside on Wednesdays at, in principle, varying locations.
Household notices: Because of Corona, you (as a senior) still have to register via the already known date picker and of course have no complaints. Next Wednesday there can only be singles, but from the following Wednesday (9-6) we can start with the doubles again! There is no toilet or opportunity on the field to change clothes or fill water, so make sure you leave home prepared. In principle it is only an hour so that should work.
Link date picker:
If you have not yet registered for a certain date, you can register when you are logged in to the site (The association -> Members -> Register game night). If you had already registered for an appointment before (for Mondays), you must use your personal participation link that you received from Datumprikker. This allows you to view the data and change your availability.
Times:
From 19:00 to 20:00 for the youth and from 20:00 to 21:00/21:30 for the seniors.
Location:
For the coming Wednesdays we will set up the fields at the sports field Port Said in the De Weidevenne district (see map below). During the summer we always want to change the location between locations in Purmerend, so we come to all districts. If you have a suggestion for a beautiful lawn or square or large sandbox nearby, please let us know. In addition, we also want to look at other days of the week, depending on the weather and the enthusiasm of course. Because it is still a bit new for us and we want to become more familiar with it, we have decided to keep it in one location for the first time. We can then see how the fields can be set up the easiest and fastest, how many shuttles we need as a minimum, but above all; how do you like it.
The fields are perfectly accessible by bicycle. From the Port Said road, follow the cycle path (green lines). In order not to hinder the residents too much with cars, you can go to Brasserie De Jutter for parking. It is from there a few minutes walk to the field.
