Badminton

The BLAGSS badminton group is a mixed ability group who play doubles and mixed doubles games.

All interested badminton players are welcome to come along. We have players with a wide range of abilities, so you should be able to have some good matches, whether you're an experienced player or haven't played for years.

Players range from league-level players to beginners and the group is truly mixed ability, giving everyone the opportunity to have a fun-filled evening. 

Where and When We Play

Where: Brighton Girls School, Temple Gardens, BN1 3AT. The sports hall is the modern grey building accessed through the gates that look like a butterfly, near Montpelier Road. Parking is available next door at Brighton Girls Prep school, or opposite at Brighton Girls main building. The 18 and 21 bus run along Montpelier Road, or it's an easy walk from Western Road and Seven Dials. Brighton Railway Station is 15 minutes walk away.

When: Every Tuesday 7:30PM - 9:30PM, sometimes followed by a drink at The Cresent pub for those who want to.

How we play

We have exclusive use of three courts for mixed doubles. It's an informal set up - when a court becomes free, hop on and see who has joined you on court. Club regulars will have a general idea of the level of different players, and may suggest particular parings for an evenly matched game. We typically get about 16 players turning up each week so we can mix and match different games as players come off court.

Everyone is welcome to turn up and play - there's no need to pre-register. Most players bring their own racquets, but we do have a few available to borrow if you're new to badminton or visiting Brighton.

What it costs

Court fees: We charge £8 per session which covers the cost of hiring the hall for two hours.

New and occasional players: Please register and pay using the appropriate dated session below. Payments are non-refundable, but are transferable. You can also pay by card on the night, but the card reader can be a bit of a diva, so online payments are preferred. We do not accept cash.

Regular players: At the start of each month you'll be able to pay for the whole month in advance using an option below. For committing to the month you'll get a 25% discount, which means even if you miss a session you won't be out of pocket.

BLAGSS Membership: New to BLAGSS? you can attend your first session without an annual membership (pay by card on the night). After your first session you'll need to join BLAGSS in order to continue.
