    Hi everyone, I just saw how a lot of Toronto people post on this forum. I'm a beginner-intermediate (or so I like to think) player and was wondering who else in here is around same level in Toronto and wanna get together for some games! I'm in high school so can only go weekends or some weekday nights! Anyways, if anyone interested, leave a reply! Places to play at suggestions are always welcomed!






    PS. I'm first poster on in the places to play section! Muwahah..:D

    OFSAA is in Sudbury this year... Didn't they learn the last time that it was in Sudbury... It's the most boring place on earth, nothing but rocks everywhere. Ok, I guess that was a little far fetched, but there is really nothing to do in Sudbury.

    I'm in 3rd year university, I am a tad old for offsa. At least you're not flying up to Thunder Bay like last year.

    I'm in Gr 10 as well! I only played for 4 months though so won't make OFSAA anytime soon! Lol..... I have played at Lee's a few times.. not many cause lee's is really far from where I am. As I mentioned, I'm not the greatest player... I made school team this year though! Maybe next year I'll be good enuff!

    Apparently there is a rule for certain offsa sports that one is allowed to participate providing he or she has not exceeded one's allocated time in secondary school. So if I was still in highschool and I had only did 4 years thus far, I'd be eligble to play.

    There is no maximum age. There was an inticipation that you would not see many 19+ year old people playing high school sports with less than 4 years or high school under their belt. For some of the full contact and team sports like football, 21 is the limit, but I know curling, badminton, tennis do not have a limit.

    what day do you want to play?

    i dunno, maybe it's because we train fairly hard.... i dunno... i'm more hardcore than most of the team members which is funny...

    Yeah, I agree with Don. But to get into OFSAA, one would have to be invited by OFSAA. I think there are 2 ways to get into OFSAA:
    1. Be top 2 in the regional tournaments
    2. Have a good standing in OBA, and the coach must suggest you to OFSAA.
    And yeah, I think there is no age limit for badminton, but you must be studying at a high school in order to be eligible.

    I'm not sure about this, so correct me if I am wrong.
