To ensure a safe and respectful environment for all, all members and visitors are expected to read and follow our House Rules.
🌈 Social
We’re friendly and host events for our members throughout the year and most importantly, we provide a safe space for them to be able to relax and be themselves.
We provide a good atmosphere that’s informal and gezellig (cosy) and where fun and games go hand in hand.
Regular events
We organise regular social events throughout the year like dinners, drinks, an annual Christmas party and picnic in the park.
Informal
Sometimes we’ll arrange informal meet-ups for drinks on weekends in Amsterdam’s queer scene.
🏅 Fun & Competitive
There’s a level that’s right for everyone to have fun and feel challenged.
Beginners
If you’re entirely new to the sport, you can try out the free coaching to help you get up to speed fast and enjoying badminton quickly.
Advanced players
If you’re more advanced, then we allow for free play on Sundays to choose your opponents and as well as Wednesday evening sessions that cater to more advanced players. This is not suitable for absolute beginners.
