    wow....i haven't been on here for quite a while...
    nice to see Zero still posting here
    lol
    recognize some of the other names but see plenty of new ones as well...

    anyways, i mainly play at churches...and yea they're free!
    it's kinda hard to let like 10 ppl come at the same time though cuz then it's not supposed to be open to everyone lol~ so if any of u wanna come jus gimme a shout and i'm sure i can arrange 3 or 4 ppl to come or somethin like that...

    hi zero: u hvaen't came to play for a while =b come by one day and i'll show u some....crap power...hahaha

    Yeah, I only come here weekly now. Too busy with every other thing!

    Well stupid Aero said there's no badminton this Sunday at his church and I was planning to go. So does anyone any place that has badminton on a Sunday from 4pm to whatever near the Yonge and Finch area?

    i know that a lot of YMCA's have badminton courts. you have to be a member in order to play on the courts. costs around 20/30 bucks i think? they usually have badminton twice each week. not all YMCA's have badminton though..i think the one in downtown Toronto is really nice. they got 4 hours straight badminton several times each week

    Hey, you're good :cool: I've just started to play again a couple of weeks ago(played some in highschools almost 10 years ago). I want to get better and free play sound really really good; I don't mind paying the guest fees either; but would prefer to join a good club if no free play;) .
    Would u please let me know where I can play? I'm in North Etobicoke and would like to play in any of these areas: North Etobicoke, Woodbridge, North York, Maple, King City, Richmond Hill.
    Thanks!
    Diana

    The YMCA is good, what are you talking about? The best thing about YMCA in Mississauga is that their courts are not really close to the walls and that the ceiling it REALLY high.

    Nobody goes to YMCA because it's expensive! For non-members, it's $12 each time! Most people goto Frank Mckechnie on Frirday nights because it's cheaper, but courts and ceiling aren't as good as YMCA.

    yes, the ceiling is high enough, but you know they seperated the basketball court and the badminton with that black huge cloth it really annoys me for some reason, and most importantly there's not enough courts. By the way, do u go to FM on fri? i go there every fri ~

    No, I don't goto FM. Well I haven't gone in a while after I wasn't allowed in because it was too full there. There's 4 courts at both FM and YMCA.

    Has anyone found out if there's places to play badminton in the Sauga/TO during the christmas break? (Dec 23 - Jan 3)

    I use to play at Erindale (adult) as a guest but they changed their guest policy to invite only and raised the price to 10 dollars/session. Great level of play though. If anyone use to play there, I was the young guy with the Knee brace. :)

    Fm :(

    I suggest not going to FM because the skill there is generally pretty low. I Personally get better games at the YMCA, but does ne1 know any Christmas Badminton places? (I missed the regerstration for a christmas b-minton camp arggg!)
