Drop-in badminton for all skill levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced, competitive). 4 courts available for doubles play- singles play only if courts are available. We try to encourage players to switch up foursomes after each doubles game and coordinators will try to match up players by skill level. We can probably lend you a racket if you don’t have one and the YMCA supplies plastic shuttlecocks. Please bring non-marking indoor shoes. Feather players need to BYO shuttlecocks.
This event is free for all YMCA members, but non-members may need to pay the YMCA for a guest pass for the day, which I believe costs around ~$14 for an adult (cash and credit cards accepted by YMCA as forms of payment). It should be noted that the YMCA will allow non-members to use up to 3 free guest passes a year.
There is no attendance limit for this event, as long as the 20-person gym capacity limit is not exceeded (restriction due to COVID). The YMCA has suggested that when all courts are full (16 capacity), 4 people can wait for next game in the gym, and any excess should wait for next game outside the gym in the corridor area. This recurring event is cross-posted in the YMCA calander, so it will proceed with YMCA members even if there are no attendees from this meetup.
