In alignment with local school directives, we have suspended the Finals of the Term 1 (years 5-8) school competition, originally scheduled for Thursday 26th March.

Update 02/04: We have made the decision to suspend the start date of this competition. This will be reviewed as the situation evolves during April & May. If necessary, we may look to combine the terms 2 & 3 secondary competitions into one competition, similar to last year.
We are still accepting registrations for our Term 2 competition. As usual, we will not invoice any schools until after the start of the competition, to allow flexibility for schools to charge their players. If this competition does need to be cancelled, we will make that decision during April, before the competition starts.

🏸Pay-to-Play
Once restrictions are lifted and the Alert Level is reduced to Level 2 or lower, we will work with available venues to try and provide an opportunity for players to participate in pay-to-play badminton sessions. We will release more information about this, once we are able to confirm the details. Should any pay-to-play sessions go ahead, then we will also communicate a set of criteria under which players will be able to participate. Once again, the COVID-19 situation changes daily, and therefore any services we offer are subject to cancellation at any point.
