In addition, MassBad represents the interests of Massachusetts to the Northeast Badminton Association, (the organization designated by USA Badminton, for the District of Columbia and the 12 states of Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and Virginia). Massachusetts has more than three-dozen private, university and community clubs throughout the state offering play opportunities for thousands of recreational and competitive Bay State residents.
