BADMINTON

What to expect 

Badminton is the star of the show. Our most popular activity by far!

Organized as many times per week as you see your boss, it could well take all of your TV show time (and eating popcorn is also allowed during breaks).

Played almost exclusively in doubles shuffle mode, you will very quickly learn to adapt your game to your partners.

From small group sessions (16 players) to enormous group sessions (the record stands at 70 players), it’s been proved to be more efficient for mingling than any social app. And on top of that, it happens in the real world!

Very easy to handle and fun to play, badminton suits all types of player, regardless of age or physical ability.

But be careful, it becomes really addictive and there is no cure for it! (Please note that we don’t accept any responsibility if you get hooked).

Side note for all animal lovers: we strictly use non-feather shuttlecocks.
