Bij aanmelding geef je je op voor komend badmintonseizoen. Please email the technical committee to indicate your interest or any other questions around competition.
Training and competition fees are in addition to the basic membership fee. You can check the possibilities on our become a member page in the form of packages (competition I,II and III).

De reguliere training voor competitiespelers is altijd op woensdagavond tijdens het competitieseizoen. De hogere competitieteams trainen bij Bart-Jan, de lagere competitieteams krijgen training van Gerald.

Additional training is possible on Monday evenings and after the competition season also on Wednesday evenings. These additional training sessions are based on registration and the rule is: full is full (although we do consider a good level distribution). All league players and reserves will be notified as soon as registration opens.

Yes. There are two opportunities for recreational training. The basic skills training and the extra skills training. You can attend a maximum of one trial training session. Not sure in which group you belong? Ask our trainer Erik during the training evening.
