    I think you need to buy a membership to pay the guest fees.

    Same facility as Strive Fitness. Nice one stop shop for a lot of activities. too bad it's on the other side of the city.
    heloc that shit

    $22 per hour if purchasing less than 15 hours
    $20 per hour if purchasing 15 or more hours


    $20 per year if join from opening date until 31st December this year
    $25 per year if join from 1st Jan, 2012

    Guest fees $5 per visit
    Fees $5 per session with minimum 15 sessions purchase.
    Walk-in is $7 per session (need to pay guest fees $5 per visit)

    Friday Night (4 hours)
    8 pm - 12 midnight

    Fees $10 per member
    Number of courts 6
    OK so how it would work is, you pay the $20 for membership. Pay in advance 15 hours X $20 =$300 (split it with whoever). When you show up, you pay the $7 drop in/person? And you can play as long as you want on that court and they will debit your account accordingly? Is that how it works?

    It's actually a crew my dad started playing with first
    my dad doesn't play anymore but i still keep on going with them
    avg age is like 40 but there's a wide range of skill levels
    it's all doubles play and games go by pretty fast and it's kinda free-for-all for courts

    you could probably come check out the people and see their skill level this coming sunday
    930am-12pm @ YWCA downtown. It'll be $7
    I don't know how pricing's gonna change once we move to Sunridge the following week.
    pm me if you want my number or anymore info

    Seriously? I was so disappointed by the stuffy warehouse with inadequate changing facilities... Didn't even have a water fountain...

    ^^ Was just going to say that. It's seriously just a badminton facility and nothing else haha, not even a water fountain. I usually barely break a sweat but I was sweating like crazy because it was so stuffy, plus being out of shape didn't help I guess. But all in all it's nice to have grippy courts instead of sliding everywhere on dusty gym floors. The flourescent lighting and green theme takes a bit getting used to as well.

    CAn you guys explain how the pricing works because I still don't get it and I'm too lazy to pick up the phone and ask a bunch of questions lol

    How much does it cost to go in?
    How long can you book a court for?

    If I have 4 players total, how much would it cost total.

    it doesn't matter how much it costs. you're too poor to afford it after the dumb bets.

    TO MY UNDERSTANDING

    You pay the $20
    and you can do the $5 drop in for the times they have

    I really don't understand the hourly court thing haha

    OH
    And they're anal on court shoes.
    but they have $3 rentals available too.

    and another bump for my buddy:

    6-8pm badminton tuesdays
    All at YWCA on 5th Ave and MacLeod downtown.

    You can PM me for the contact person (it's not me)
    I'll be going tomorrow for sure

    The crew is pretty young (uni kids), with various skill levels from HS players to tournament level.

    Been there a few times now and here's the price break down.

    If you attend the drop in sessions all you need to pay is the $5 guest fee or the anual membership for $20. That's only 4 times per year so it's a no brainer if you plan to play a lot or even casually.

    If you want to play during non drop in times you need to buy court hours. $20/hr if you buy more then 15 and $22/hr if you buy less then 15 and you can use them however you please. I think if you buy a lot of hours you can negotiate a better rate. But that's just for the courts, you still need to pay either the $5 guest fee or the $20 anual membership to get in.

    The $3 shoe rentals are pretty brutal so make sure your soles are light colored. Even if they are non marking soles they will tell you to get off the court. It's ironic because their shitty $3 rentals marks up the floors more then any other indoor shoes.

    Going in groups is a lot cheaper if you can find someone to orgainize it.

    That doesn't make sense that they'd let you drop in unlimited for $20/year...

    Yea, even if it's 20 dollars for just the drop in time frame, that still seems extremely cheap. Can anyone who has played there confirm that?

    Sorry you're right, I just called to confirm and on top of the $5 guest or $20 membership fee, you need to pay $5/session if you buy more then 15 or $7/session for less then 15.

    Where is a cheap place to go play a game near downtown that will rent racquets out?

    Also, how long is a session?

    Who's playing in the CCC this year and what division? We'll be in the red division.

    Anyone know what birdies they use? I'm going to buy a bunch on the companies expense
