Rules & Regulations
Keeping the court fair for everyone.
Simple, direct rules. Nothing here is a surprise once you've played a session or two — it's mostly what you'd expect from a casual, member-run club.
1. Membership
- Monthly fee: ₦4,000, due on or before the 5th of every month.
- Registration fee (new members only, one-time): ₦20,000.
- Guest drop-in fee: ₦2,000 per session, paid before play begins.
- Membership fees are non-refundable.
- Lapsed members who wish to rejoin may be required to pay outstanding dues.
- If you owe 2 months or more in membership fees, you are not qualified to play until payment is settled.
- If you owe 6 months or more, you must re-register and pay the registration fee before being allowed back.
2. Playing Hours & Court Use
- The court is open every day from 5:30 PM to 9:00 PM.
- No bookings. Play is on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Games are typically doubles, to maximize play time.
- Players waiting must respect the system and be ready when called.
3. Code of Conduct
- All members and guests are expected to respect one another: no abusive language, fighting, or disruptive behavior.
- Proper badminton attire required: sports clothing and non-marking shoes only.
- Keep the court clean. No food or drinks, except water bottles.
- Players are expected to assist in setting up and packing up nets/equipment if needed.
4. Shuttles & Equipment
- Players are encouraged to bring their own racquets.
- Members are encouraged to contribute towards shuttle purchases.
- Any club-provided equipment must be handled with care.
5. Guests
- Guests are welcome but must pay the ₦2,000 drop-in fee before playing.
- Guests must follow all club rules and show respect to members.
- Regular guests are encouraged to become full members.
6. Training & Matches
- Club sessions are casual and social. Anyone can mix in and play.
- Game flow and rotation system:
- Winners of a match remain on court for the next game.
- If they win two consecutive games, all four players (the winners and their opponents) must leave the court, so a new set of players can come in.
- This ensures fair play and equal opportunities for all members waiting to play.
- Friendly games should follow BWF rules (best of 3 games, 21 points rally scoring), unless players agree otherwise.
- Coaching, when available, should not disrupt social play.
7. Discipline
- Repeated lateness in fee payment may result in suspension.
- Members damaging equipment or facilities may be required to cover repair/replacement costs.
- Any violent, aggressive, or unsportsmanlike behavior will result in immediate suspension or expulsion.
