Who may join the club?
We run badminton sessions for players of all abilities.
Our junior sessions cater for players aged 9 to 17 - see our juniors pages. If you are looking for badminton for children younger than nine or more information on junior badminton, please contact us with your details and we will try to help.
When do you meet?
Our club sessions are as follows:
Where do you meet?
We meet at UHI Perth on Mondays, North Inch Community Campus on Thursdays and Perth High School Sports Hub on Sundays. We play most of our local league matches at North Inch Community Campus. For more information on our venues, see our club nights page.
How much does it cost?
Our fees are:
The cost of hiring the courts and the cost of the shuttles we play with are included in the fees.
If you have difficulty affording the fees, please confidentially discuss your situation with our Treasurer, Ross Paterson, or e-mail him at info@glenearnbadminton.co.uk. The Club is inclusive and "open to all" and we will seek to ease the cost of participating for those that have difficulty affording our fees. We will ensure such matters are confidential between you and the Club.
What should I bring?
You should bring suitable attire to play badminton in, including shoes with non-marking soles.
Most of our members bring their own badminton racket but we usually have spare rackets available to use.
We recommend you bring a drink. While North Inch Community Campus and UHI Perth do have water fountains and also, vending machines that sell drinks, these might not always be available. Perth High School Sports Hub also has water fountains, but not vending machines.
You do not need to bring shuttlecocks. The Club provides feather shuttles and the cost is included in the nightly fee.
Can I just turn up?
Existing members can turn up to our sessions and do not need to pre-book. If you would like to join or visit the club, or just come along to give it try, please contact us before attending any of our sessions.
What are club nights like?
Our weekly club nights are friendly and relatively informal. We would usually mostly play doubles but occasionally when it is quieter, some of our members enjoy playing singles.
Usually, there is no pre-determined selection of games in advance and so you should get to play with and against various different players of differing abilities. Although our games can have a competitive edge, the main thing is to have fun! From time to time, we will hold fun tournaments on a club night.
May I play in league games?
Not all our members wish to play competitively - that is fine, there is no obligation to play in league or cup matches.
For those members that would like to play competitively, team selection is managed by the Club Committee and the team captains. Generally, the strongest available players are selected. However, there is always some rotation of players over the course of the season meaning many of our players get the opportunity to play in league or cup matches.
What kind of shuttles do you use?
We use high quality feather shuttlecocks at all of our adult club nights and also for matches in the Perth & District Badminton Association league and cup competitions.
How can I get further information?
