Itinerary:

We will meet at the YMCA at Grovesnor and Yonge at 12:30 p.m., just inside the main doors (off of Grovesnor St.). Each participant will pay for his/her own day-pass ($15 per person), if he/she does not have a membership at the Y.

This event is for TOC members who already have experience as badminton players. The event is NOT for beginners. If signing up, you should know the rules and etiquette of the game (including both traditional and contemporary scoring). You should know the difference between playing singles and playing doubles. You should have good to above-average playing skills. That means: you should be able to serve both "deep" and "short"; you should be able to clear the shuttlecock (bird) from the back line of your own court to the back line of the other court; you should be able to smash the bird (but not at the event organizer); and you should also have a drop-shot.

If you do not know what I am talking about, then this event is not for you. (Stay tuned, though: in the future, I might organize an event specially designed for beginners!).

After our afternoon of badminton, we will likely head out to a local establishment for some food and refreshments.

Required Items to Bring:
Well-strung badminton racquet; proper running shoes for hardwood gym floor; money for day-pass.

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
