Frequently Asked Questions

Where / When?

We run a Monday and a Thursday session, each at a different location but both on the north side of town.

As we have limited capacity, we dont publically advertise any more than that to avoid the possiblity of too many unexpected visitors.

By all means drop us a message so we know you're wanting to join.

Can I come on a set day?

Each session has its own maximum capacity and after that, its own waiting list.

Members can be part of both sessions, presuming there is space, or even join in one and be on the waiting list for the other.

Although under the same 'Doncaster Badminton' flag, the list of members between them is totally independant.

Can I hire a court?

We hire the entire sports hall (4 courts) for our own exclusive use.

Subject to having space available, you may request to become one of our members to participate with our fully mixed session but we can't sub-let the courts.

If you really want a court for your own exclusive use, either The Dome or Adwick Leisure Centre can offer this to you.

Can I use your equipment?

The use of equipment (badminton posts and nets) comes with the hire of the hall. We use our own shuttlecocks.

Members generally bring their own racquets, although our players can hire them if they prefer, before investing in their own.

Hire of racquets is £2 per session.

Do you run a kids session?

Unfortunately not.

At present we can only cater for adults and are not aware of any other kids sessions elsewhere.

Do I book or just turn up?

We have a formal membership so prior to any participation, you will need to fully register beforehand. From that point our members just turn up when they're able.

Please bear in mind this means we have no definite numbers on a week-by-week basis.

Does it get busy?

From week-to-week, there is no way to tell.

In the summer it can be a little quieter due to people on holiday.

We can cater for 16 players at once; 4 players per court (doubles) over 4 courts. After those first 16 on the busier sessions, there may be a little waiting time between games. Permitted maximum is 22 and players arriving late after the first 22 may be turned away.

Who are you?

The club is operated as an Unincorporated Association that is run by just normal people like you who enjoy knocking a few shuttles about each week.

We are not associated or affiliated with any governing body or other club or association.
