Details

As suitable footwear has been strictly supervised by the attendants since the renovation of the sports hall, we urge you to only wear indoor shoes that do not leave any marks on the floor. Any fines charged to ACA will be recovered from the violators.

• We play at the designated times, usually doubles.
• There are players of all levels, which means that all kinds of combinations are possible that make the doubles particularly fun.
• Beginner or already well-trained player, all are welcome!
• During the sessions, everyone can come to play whenever they want. For example, do you come on Mondays from six to eight thirty or do you like to play from five to nine? It's all possible!
• You can get acquainted with the activity without any obligation: the first time playing badminton is free (free trial). Then ask for the treasurer at the venue.
• For more information, email the badminton coordinator.

Tournaments

A very large number of badminton tournaments are organised within the European LGBTQ+ community. There, you'll find players of all levels. Those levels are A, B and C, each subdivided in + and - (ranging from beginners in C- to professionals in A+).

Tournaments are a wonderful opportunity to compete with players from other clubs and to meet people from all across the globe. After the athletic part, you can usually kick back and relax during a joint dinner and/or let loose at a party.

Do you want to go to a(n international) badminton tournament too? The ACA calendar lists all upcoming tournaments, including locations and links to additional information. You have to register yourself (individually or with a double partner).  Do you not have a double partner? Ask around on Monday or Sunday. You are bound to find someone of your level who will join you.

Definitely inform our tournament coordinator if you are participating in a tournament. If it is a popular one, we can travel there with a large delegation and, e.g., create a group chat.
