    Since covid, commander has gotten rid of their drop in completely and Epic only has drop in between open to 5pm on weekdays which doesn’t work well for people who work 9-5.

    Where are people playing these days?
    I saw elite badminton and Lee’s has drop in currently. Any input on how they are post covid? Looking to play feather with other intermediates.

    The downtown Toronto community centres are ok but almost no one uses feather which is a shame.

    I think Lee's is the only club I know that has drop in the area. I typically go on the weekends and it's PACKED at times. There are times where it's empty but most people will stick to their own group regardless. If you plan on coming to Lee's, bring a friend as the smallest group are pairs of 2 and you can usually find another pair looking to play doubles.

    I will be visiting Toronto for 2 weeks over Christmas, and also hoping to find drop in places to play (intermediate level feathers).

    Commander website says drop in. Are we sure there is no drop in there?

    Commander site hasn't been updated in a while. I called to confirm.

    It does look like elite badminton does regular drop in sessions

    I called Lees Markham a few wks ago and they no longer do drop in but maybe changed now. Their sites are not updated so better call. I know KC Richmond Hill is open for drop in so DM me if you can swing by. I’m intermediate play feather and looking for a group also. Cheers.

    Hey man, I'm interested to join you but looking at these case numbers, I can see Ontario putting in some sort of restriction again.
