Welcome to Badminton at WBC
We have members that are just beginners and others that play at an advanced level. We have those that play for recreation and those that play competitively. We have had members of all ages, from the age of 5 to 95 years old.
Badminton is scheduled at many time slots throughout the week. Time slots have been reserved for elite (advanced) players, for youth players and for recreational (open) play. One Wednesday evening during the fall and winter we run a recreational round robin format for all players in attendance.
Please see the event schedule on this web site for the time frames that best suit your age and playing ability.
Time slots are also reserved for private lessons for members who wish to improve their playing skills.
Drop-In
WBC welcomes drop-in badminton players.
First-time drop-in members must pay a court fee, register for a Day membership, must sign an ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND WAIVER OF CLAIMS AND LIABILITY AGREEMENT and understand and accept the conditions required for any and all participation at the Woodstock Badminton Club and / or its activities. By signing, they also acknowledge and agree to the WBC Fun and Fair Play Practice.
On subsequent visits, the player needs only to pay his court fees. A day membership permits the player access to the club courts for the day.
On all visits, the player should do a self screening to ensure they do not have any symptoms of COVID-19. The self screening questions are on the website.

The 2023/2024 court fees for Badminton is $10.00 for adults and $5.00 for youth 17 and under.
