Questions
What should I bring?
Non-marking indoor shoes, comfortable sportswear and a water bottle. We lend racquets and provide shuttles.
Where are classes held?
At a few venues around Brisbane, including our partner venue, Goodminton Badminton Centre in Browns Plains. The timetable shows where each class runs, and the venue addresses are under “Where we play”.
Is the club the same as the academy?
The academy runs coached classes. Play On Badminton Club is our community club for regular, friendly games. You can join either or both.
What if we miss a class?
Term members can make up a missed class in another session of the same level during that term.
Do I need any experience?
No. Most of our juniors and adults start as complete beginners.
