Back into the Winchester League - October 2026 Update

Major news for the Winchester Badminton Club is that we are no longer participating in the SDBA, we are now back with the Winchester and District Badminton Association. We are fielding 2 teams:

​

• Winchester Open Team

• Winchester Mixed Team

​

Anyone who is a club-level match player who has an interest in playing competitively is welcome to contact us and join. We have room to rotate across more players in both teams.

​

Club Skill Level - October 2025 Update​​

As of October 2025, Winchester Badminton Club is amending requirements to attend a session. This is due to the large growth in membership we have had across all of 2025, and that we are beginning to approach the capacity for the courts we have. See below some changes:

• We are no longer accepting walk-ins

• Anyone who wishes to wishes to attend must first get in touch with us via our Contact Form

• Searching specifically for experienced players

​

Experienced Players​

We are still looking for experienced players to join the club. Anyone who is interested in playing League matches should get in touch with us.

​

For players who are already at an intermediate level or above, there are regular opportunities to play with similarly skilled players. Since there is no rigid game selection system, we do our best to facilitate balanced games so that there is a healthy mix across the evening. This helps to bring up the skill level of the club as well as challenge those who are already match-ready.​

​

Below are some general expectations for anyone looking to become a member of the Winchester Badminton Club in the 2026-2027 season:

• Good court etiquette, able to enjoy games and have fun while also respecting team mates, opponents and the game

• Must have previous experience playing at club-level or prior coaching experience at junior level or above

• Competent with positioning in both mixed and level doubles

​

For those that are still interested in playing, but are at a beginner level. We highly recommend you take a look at the other sessions offered at Westgate Badminton Centre through the week.​​
