Friday Badminton @ GEORGE GREEN'S School (7:15pm - 9:10pm)

Welcome to our thrilling Friday badminton meetup at George Green's School in Tower Hamlets.

We're a friendly group of badminton enthusiasts with players of varying levels. With 3 courts and high quality feather shuttles, we ensure an incredible experience.

If it's your first session, please message Peter on Meetup or on 07561 100 413 with your full name and phone number for our records. It's easier to communicate by text/WhatsApp and we usually aim to send a message if you're added to the attending list within 24 hours of the session, in case you miss the Meetup notification.

No low level players, please!
To maintain a steady flow of enjoyable matches, it's essential that you play at a proficient level. While our members are more than happy to offer tips and guidance to those still learning, we also want to ensure everyone gets to experience thrilling games. If your skills aren't at the appropriate level, you may be asked to sit out the session.

Not sure if you're at the right level? We've got you covered:

1. Check out our Instagram page for a glimpse of the level we play at.
2. Visit the Shuttlesmash website and watch the videos to assess your current level.
3. If you're still uncertain, message us (scroll down for contact details) to arrange a free session viewing, where you can witness our skilled players in action.

Session Rules
Our approach is laid-back and friendly. Jump onto any available court and challenge fellow players. Remember to vacate the court after your game. We discourage court hopping (coming off the court and hopping straight onto another one), as we believe in giving everyone a fair chance to play. Shuttles are conveniently placed between each court, and you're welcome to grab a fresh one if necessary.

To keep things exciting, our event hosts will occasionally select four players to organise a competitive game on the next available court. We aim to make the teams as evenly matched as possible. If you're not selected, please refrain from joining the court. Even if you're not picked, rest assured, we'll always do our best to ensure all players get a fair number of games during our sessions.

Restrings
We offer a restringing service, starting at £22 for a selection of Yonex strings (BG65ti, BG66 Ultimax, BG80, BG80 Power and many more), or £15 if you provide your own. Restrings usually take 1 week and you can drop off and pick up your racket at one of our sessions.
