• If you have any questions please drop us an email to subad@soton.ac.uk or message us on our Performance Instagram.

🏸Recreational Badminton

 For those looking to play casually, have a good laugh and meet new people!

• Follow our WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram and join our Discord server to stay updated!

Our main weekend sessions (Saturday 12:00-15:00 and Sunday 12:00-14:00 in the Jubilee Sports Hall) consist of mostly doubles matches and singles at less busy sessions (ALL abilities are welcome)! We will provide rackets and plastic shuttles with good feedback at our sessions. If you prefer a certain racket or shuttles to play with you are welcome to bring them along to the sessions.

Throughout the year, we will also host some awesome socials, so you can get to know your fellow members off the court as well as on the court! If you want to take part in these activities, then purchase the RecBad membership.

Keep an eye out for our taster sessions which will be happening during Taster Week between Saturday 19th September 2026 and Sunday 27th September 2026 in Jubilee Sports Hall

• Membership provides access to all RecBad sessions plus an additional session on Tuesdays from 10:00 - 12:00 (with feather shuttles) and a Performance session
• Limited access to Performance coached training sessions
• Opportunities to compete in local Winchester Leagues
