I sent the email out and eagerly waiting a reply. Although I dont have my hopes up as i know many clubs associated with Colleges do not allow non-student body members.
SJSU replied saying that the badminton club is for college students only, but I could drop in. Unfortunately, I just moved in here not knowing anyone to go during free gym. Ill keep looking for a drop in style club.
There's SJSU badminton club and SJSU open gym which are two separate things. SJSU open gym is open to anyone. SJSU badminton club is only for SJSU students.
I hope this link helps. i found it from another Badminton Forum site. It lists all the places in NorCal and SoCal. Also there are some groups on facebook that are high school badminton clubs that list open gym times to the public every once in a while. I'm a part of the Benicia Badminton group on Facebook and theres also contributors from other places who posts open gym schedules for local sports centers, like the schedule for the Georgie Duke Center in Vacaville. http://www.worldbadminton.com/whereToPlay/unitedStates/index.html#nca
I'm surprised this was never added. San Jose State: One Washington Sq. San Jose, CA 95112 Spartan Complex A Fee: Free for SJSU students with a valid SJSU ID, $2 for non-students (pay online) Schedule: http://as.sjsu.edu/ascr/index.jsp?val=or_home Most nights from 7P-10:30P
Just added this. Thanks and sorry for the huge delay. If any times have changed, gyms closed, or anything else of particular importance then please help me by letting me know.
Does anyone know of any open gyms to play in in martinez or contra costa counties? Only found so far is only open sun 10-12noon. 5.00 per person. but that the only time offered. Anyone know of any others?
Where's the martinez place? shorter distance than to EBA in Emeryville from Hercules? I'm trying to get myself back on some kind of exercise routine atm...
http://www.worldbadminton.com/whereToPlay/unitedStates/index.html#nca the link that someone posted earlier on this thread... there's Pleasant Hill location... but only 2 hours drop in on Sundays.
CCC in San Pablo, too. here's part of an email update from the guy that runs it: There are some regulars there, about 6 courts set up usually (can add more if needed). I go there once and a while.
Those are all an hour away or more. WE HAVE NOTHING IN MARTINEZ. NORCAL COURTS SAYS DONT DO BADMINTON!
haha, nice. i haven't been going lately because i don't have a partner to go with... usually everyone's paired up when i go. Let me know if you'd like to go? PM me your contact info?
It is actually closed from 6/18-6/28 floors being redone. But plan on being there 7/6 sun. I usually go with one of my roomates. Many times i have a 3rd roomate who would love us to find a fourth player. You can contact me at 925 372-7092.
I normally go to a club in Vacaville since my brother and sis-in-law live in American Canyon. The Vacaville gym is pretty good. There are 6 courts and property is well maintained and has good friendly crowd. Address is at: Georgie Duke Sport Center 720 E Monte Vista Ave Vacaville, CA 95688 Hours (sometime changes due to season): Fridays 6-10, Saturdays 5-9, and Sundays 2-6 I am thinking of playing more in East Bay, so hit me up if you still need buddy to go during weekdays.
