Carlisle, MA Badminton Club

Special Notices

The Fall 2008 series of sessions begins on 17-Sep-08 and continues every Wednesday through 10-Dec-08, except 26-Nov-08 is skipped. A minimum number of full registrations is required for this program to be run, but no problem is anticipated.

In the Spring of 2008, attendance had been heavy, but by using 6 courts, players did not have to wait excessively long. There were some nights when there were more than 40 players.

This club meets on Wednesdays from 7:00 - 9:30 p.m., and 6 courts are available. You can pay $8 per visit (when space is available) or sign up with a full registration for the Fall 2008 series of 12 sessions for $75. The Spring sessions start 26-Mar-08

These are the planned dates of play for the 2008 Fall series:

• September 17, 24
• October 1, 8, 15, 22, 29
• November 5, 12, 19
• December 3, 9, 17

During the 2007-2008 season, over 75 players came either only once or multiple times without full registration, so this has been a well-attended club.

This activity is held at the Carlisle, MA Public School in the Corey Building gym. This is at 88 School St., just off Route 225.

This is an adult activity of the Carlisle Recreation Department, but players under 15 are permitted when accompanied by an adult. Players of all levels are welcome, from beginner/recreational to experienced/advanced. The emphasis is to get exercise and have fun and to have an enjoyable and challenging time in a supportive setting, while improving skills and techniques.

Bring your own racquet, or use one of the club racquets. Plastic birds are supplied, and you are welcome to bring and use feathered birds. There are six courts, but two of them have poorer lighting and can be used for warmup and backups; it would be helpful if motors can be installed to lift the basketball nets. The ceiling is high, with good visibility. Play is primarily doubles, but singles play is possible when space permits.

There are two options for paying fees:

• You may sign up with a "full registration" for a series of 10-12 sessions (Fall, Winter, Spring) for a fee of $75 (for the Fall series), and registration is required for this. To get a form, call the Recreation Department at 978-369-9815 or register via the web at http://www.Carlisle.org/recreation. The dates for these sessions are given above.
• You may pay a $8 per session drop-in playing fee, subject to space availability. Although drop-ins are welcomed, on a crowded night, preference may be given to those with full registrations. Exact amount is required, and you are requested to fill out a registration form at least once during the series of sessions.

Park in the main lot near the lower entrance to the gym.
