Badminton is a fast-paced sport that can be played either as singles or doubles with the aim of hitting a shuttle over the net and into the opponent’s court. It is a fun, active sport which is an easy game with few painless rules.  It boosts up your muscles, ads strength to those muscles and improves blood flow rate.  The benefits are endless.

Sign up for our singles/individuals or teams/doubles leagues.  Both leagues will be schedule for 8 games during each semester with games once per week.  Leagues are open status. Playing in a structured league not your jam.  Try our Recreational Badminton programs, where you can just have fun with like minded players.

Recreational leagues do not have standings, officials, or playoffs. 

*All participants must be 18 yrs of age or a UCalgary student .*
