    Yup, all the places are still available...go down glenunga or prince alfred for a hit

    I'm actually thinking of setting up my own baddy session here in Adelaide, but unfortunately I didn't manage to get about hiring the whole gym for myself...any suggestions?

    So Kuan84 you playing tonight at Glenunga? Shuttlecocks supplied or wat? I think it's a good idea to get a group and hire few courts. But i've tried hiring courts for futsal before and it is really hard especially weekdays!! Some are even booked weeks in advance. I think best bet would be down at Lockleys during weekends...if you book in advance.

    hi extradry,

    Good to hear that. Me and a few friends are hosting our own session down @ westminster high (Alison Avenue, Marion) this saturday 6.30-9.30pm. Would you be interested in joining? We had 26 ppl on 4 courts last week, 6bucks feathers provided. Will extend bookings to 8 courts depending on the turn-up rate.

    Regards,
    Kuan

    Check the BadmintonSA link in Kuan's last post to get the up to date version. There's also Glenelg on Monday nights and Sunday mornings at Lockleys (probably the closest to you at Mile End). The PAOC club isn't playing at Prince Alfred College this year, due to renovations there; instead they're at Norwood Morialta High School on The Parade. They should be back at PAC next year, it's a much more convenient location.

    I think Marryatville is having some renovations at the moment and it won't be done for a few months.

    In regards to Glenunga, Monday, Wednesday and Thursdays are still open but can get a little busy..

    We have a facebook page for those nights we run badminton there and you can contact us there at anytime.

    I would avoid putting your email on a public forum. Unless you don't mind extra spam emails coming into your mailbox.

    Anyway, just come to Glenunga High school on Monday, Wednesday or Thursday nights for plastic shuttles. We start at 7.30pm.
    It can get busy but with exams around the corner it should be quiet these couple of weeks.
    We usually match people with the same ability so all levels are welcomed.

    Tuesday night at Glenunga is feather shuttles but a different group/people organise that.

    We are down to 4 courts at the moment due to school renovations but we had warned all our members about it on facebook. Numbers have been just about right for the last couple of nights..

    Hi there,

    I am pretty much a beginner, and been playing with friends every week for the past 3 months.
    My skill is improving bit by bit but I don't think I have the proper technique/footwork. Pretty sure they way I smash is not correct too.
    So, I am thinking to get serious on improving my skill. I am thinking of hiring a coach. Does anyone know where I can find a Badminton Coach in Adelaide?
    Thanks :)

    Send me a PM and I'll get someone to contact you about training.

    Alternatively, post a message on our Glenunga social badminton club facebook site and one of our members will get back to you.

    I think there are training sessions on the weekend at Lockleys near the airport.

    It's hard to find a coach in Adelaide if you're not a junior. I think both Sturt and Glenelg badminton clubs offer coaching/training sessions. But they don't advertise the times, because they don't want it to get too crowded. You need to join one of the clubs and then ask around.
