The Nanaimo Badminton Club is hosting their 2015 badminton Tournament again this year on September 11/12/13 at the Oliver Woods Recreational Center. More details will come closer to the date, but if anyone is interested they should plan their calendar ahead accordingly.

Thanks for coming out this season!

Now that badminton is officially done for the season, we would like to thank everyone for coming out and playing!

We will re-open in September, and for those of you wondering if there is any other place that you can play badminton in the summer, the answer is unfortunately no.

The drop-in badminton at TRU is also closed for the summer.

Have a great summer everyone, and I hope to see a LOT more people playing badminton come September!

The Kamloops Badminton Association would like to thank the sports legacy fund for helping us obtain a bird feeder! Pictured below is a badminton feeder called the Blackknight Trainer, which can be set at various speeds and angles to allow badminton enthusiasts to practice all sorts of shots. It’s practically like a full-time coach, and is a strong investment in the future of the KBA. We thank the Kamloops Blazers legacy fund for providing the financial and organizational support required to build the capacity and effectiveness of badminton here in Kamloops, B.C.
