Details

Founded in 2010, the UM Badminton Club was started by a few avid badminton enthusiasts. Through the years the club has expanded significantly, now comprising of over 450 registered members and growing larger each day. Our goal is to create a fun and including environment for badminton enthusiasts. As badminton is an uncommon sport here in the U.S. , we aim to also promote the sport to the public and improve its recognition here in the states. Despite being primarily a sports organization, we also like to host social events throughout the year. Events hosted last year included a summer BBQ party, Chinese New Year celebration, and a karaoke event. Many more are planned for the coming year so come join us and have some fun! In addition, we also provide a wide variety of badminton related services; we are able to restring rackets, order/buy badminton equipment, and offer coaching. We are currently only a student organization and have not been recognized by the school as an official club sport. However, this only means we are not yet funded by the school, and does not limit our ability to practice or compete in and travel to tournaments. We have applied to the club sports committee but it will take some time before we are accepted.
