Badminton in Atlanta

Peachtree Hills Gym

Has the badminton club been setup at Peachtree Hills Gym yet?

Who do I need to speak to in order to join?

 

Sadly, for all of us who were looking forward to a new club starting in Peachtree Hills, it never panned out. Although the contact we had a the gym seemed very excited and accomodating at first, she has since stopped returning our phone calls.

UK expat really missing playing...

Hi all,

Having read this thread it looks like places to play in Atlanta are few and far between. Even so if anyone knows of anywhere I can play I would really appreciate the info. I'm open to starting a new club, convincing a gym, purchasing equipment - anything short of building a room big enough for a court in my back yard (and I only say that because I don't think my covenant agreement allows it

I am an expat from the UK, have been in ATL for around 2 years, use to play at an intermediate before coming to the US and getting out of practice.

Please feel free to reply to me on this thread or direct through my profile.

Thanks a lot,

Matt

 

badminton info from another member

I received this information from a very helpful fellow here on Badminton Central:

"There is a group that plays in downtown Decatur on Wednesday nights. They are very welcoming. The courts were not too full last year.

Also, we have a small group that plays at the Intermediate down to to
Beginner level outdoors at Brookwood Hills (near piedmont hospital),
currently on Monday nights about 6:45 pm to 8:30 pm. You are welcome
to join us."

Hope this helps.

 

Hi frostlich, I'm looking to move my family to GA and may be considering relocating to Peachtree City (CNN Money best places to live). Badminton is an important part of our lives and was wondering if you managed to find a place to play. I was even considering perhaps looking into a local gym and maybe forming a club as I havent' seen a club available south of Atlanta (except Georgia Southeastern which is way out there).

Thanks.

 

Hi everyone,

I'm a newbie to the forum and will be moving to Atlanta in a few weeks. I'm trying to find out how many different badminton clubs that are still accepting new members. I'll be staying around Decatur near Emory. Can anyone help?

Thanks

 

What about outdoors?

I am also interested in looking for a place to play badminton, as well as people to play with.

It just seems to me that since there aren't too many places to play badminton in Atlanta indoors, what about setting up a net in a park somewhere and playing that way? I know it would be much better to play on an indoor court. I've played indoors and outdoors and I've enjoyed both.

I was thinking that if we can't find an indoor court, why can't we just play recreationally outdoors? It's a start.

I live in the Stone Mountain Area less than 15 minutes from Decatur.

Is anyone interested in setting up a net outside?

 

Where?

Hi,

I haven't played badminton in 10 years, but I have been aching to play and I am trying to find a play where I can play a few people and get my body back into shape like it use to stay when I was playing.

So my question is where is there to play near Duluth where I live, or close by, anyone got anything?

my e-mail is sully@tierpath.com If you know of a place that people meet for fun let me know! I am going crazy!

 

still no dice yet!

 

Yeah we all have got to find a way to get together and find a place!

 

maybe a yahoo groop or something for us ATL badminton players that wanna have fun and play some competitions as well.

 

my yahoo instant messenger name is tikpaklong...

 

Please add me to the list of newbies interested in getting into a group. I live in the Emory area and could play in Decatur if that's where we can finally locate a place. If you are getting a yahoo group together, please include me so I can get the updates: bookgirl101@yahoo.com. I have not played since college, but I am willing to practice enough to get back to where I was (medium level?). Keep me in the loop -- and thanks! --Cory

 

list

Ok, I created and e-mail alias and I have added 4 of you that request it to it, if anyone else wants to get in on this group, so we can all hunt, the more the merrier. Just e-mail me, or post here.

 

please let me know where the games are played in Brookwood Hills. Thanks

 

Anyword on your gym and how much they would charge for non-gym members?

 

How can I play at this Decatur club?

Hello,

I really would like to play badminton. How do I get into this downtown Decatur group?

Thanks
Bindu

 

I will find out this week.

Can you tell me where they play in Decatur?

Thanks

 

right now nowwhere as the place they played is a school and is being used, there are about 4 of us looking for a place, would you 2 want to be added to the list so when we find a place you can get notified?

 

That would be great. Please add me. I just contacted the other guy because I saw his posting on craigslist. He doesnt know of a place either. I will keep him informed.

I can play during the week .... it will be awesome if there is a place
