Longfields-Davidson Heights Badminton Club

PROFILE

The Club is located at the newly-built Longfields-Davidson Heights Secondary School on 149 Berrigan Drive in Barrhaven, where Club members enjoy playing doubles' badminton in an excellent six-court hardwood gymnasium. The primary purpose of this new Club is to provide adult (18 to 65 years of age) male and female badminton players of all skill levels who live in the Barrhaven area with their own local club. LDHBC is also affiliated with the Ottawa District Badminton Association (ODBA), giving members access to the larger badminton community in Ottawa, including discounts on badminton equipment and workout gear, fun and competitive tournaments, free teaching clinics for beginners, and social events.

The Club supplies yellow Yonex Mavis 300 nylon shuttles and yellow Black Knight TruFlight 4000 nylon shuttles, and members play according to the 21-point rally scoring system. The Club uses a Game Board with members' nametags, which allows all members the same opportunity to choose players for his or her games as well as to enjoy games with as many different Club members as possible each evening.
