It started with four people, two rackets, and a borrowed hall in Lifecamp in 2019. Within a month it was a regular evening thing. Within a year there were thirty of us, an elected Exco, and a culture that had quietly become the best part of a lot of people's week.
We've never advertised. Every member who joined did so because someone who plays here brought them along. That word-of-mouth is something we're proud of — it means the people who show up actually want to be here, not just ticking a fitness box.
The badminton is serious enough to be fun and casual enough that nobody gets sent home for a backhand error. We mix skill levels in every session deliberately. Beginners get better faster when they play up. Experienced players stay humble when a newbie drops a net shot they didn't see coming.
Lifecamp Badminton Club is member-run, member-funded, and member-obsessed. The Exco are elected volunteers who play every week alongside everyone else. If something feels off, ping them — chances are they're on court right now.
