With members from almost 20 countries, we are probably the most international badminton club in the Flemish league. We have seven teams in the mixed and level league competitions and regularly send large delegations to play in tournaments. On top of that, we have many keen casual players and an active and varied social life.

⚖️ Club Rules Reminder
- With the start of the season, we expect a high number of players, including new members and try-outs. Please:
- Be mindful of court sharing and welcome everyone.
- During the first sessions, one separate court will be reserved for competition players to train by team for the first interclubs. A clear rotation plan will be shared with the captains shortly.
- Bring a shuttle to the court when you play.
- Help set up and clean up the courts before and after sessions.
- Competition players must prioritise interclubs over tournaments and stick to their declared availabilities. This year, with more teams, finding back-ups will be harder.
The complete list of the club’s general rules can be found on the website.
Committee Roles – 2025
- Chairman: Ben
- Treasurer: Arne
- Communication Manager: Sarah

See you all on court! 🏸
