Similar to last year, we continue to provide playing nights on Tuesday (Frederick Banting Secondary School) from 6:30pm to 8:15pm, Thursday (London Central Secondary School) from 7:00pm to 10:00pm, and Saturday (London Central Secondary School) from 7:15pm to 10:00pm.
The new season starts on September 11 and ends on June 30. To prevent overcrowding, the club limits the number of member registration at 32 per night (4 courts in total). Please note, you are only considered a member on the night(s) which you registered while the drop-in policy will apply on the nights which you are not. The full schedule can be found at http://londonbadminton.ca/?p=769 for 2017 and http://londonbadminton.ca/?p=785 for 2018.

Waiver of Liability
All players, regular or drop-in, will be required to sign a waiver of liability form before they start playing on LBA administered courts. Children under the age of 18 needs to obtain signature from a parent or guardian on the waiver form. Waiver form will be available on site after you pay for your registration.
Drop-In Policy
We encourage long term registration for all players as they get the most value. However, those elected to not become a member can still play on any given night by paying $10/per night drop-in fee. Drop-in price is the same regardless if you play Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday. Notice that we do not offer the drop-in option for Medway on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays. As usual, members get priority if the courts are full and drop in will not be allowed. To prevent disappointments, it requires non-members to submit a drop-in request to dropin@londonbadminton.ca
Before 5:00pm on the day you are going to play, we will let you know as soon as possible whether there are spots remaining. If players show up without an approved drop-in request, they will not be permitted to play if the maximum number of people (32) has been reached.
Methods of Payment:
- Email Transfer to register@londonbadminton.ca, please set the password as badminton
- Pay Onsite/In Person (cash only)
Registration Details
- The membership Fee will not be refunded once you are successfully registered regardless of opting-out or partial absence from the play season.
