Member Benefits
- Lots and lots of scheduled play sessions. Our season runs September to June and we play mostly 4 days a week (Monday, Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday). Each season is well over 200 hours of badminton. One fee, many options – you choose the dates that work best for you.
- Meet new people! We have a great member base, and a variety of skill levels. If you would like to pop by to observe, contact us.
- Badminton shuttles (Mavis 300) are provided. If you prefer playing feather, no problem, you are welcome to bring your own shuttles
- Great value. Our club is efficiently run by volunteers and we are a member club of the EDBA. An individual membership is only $140 for the entire season.
- Social events. We have at least 2 social events per year – a Winter Party and an Annual Dinner. This year, we also plan to run ladder on Saturdays. All IBC members are automatically members of the EDBA and can play EDBA tournaments and join EDBA events.
- Family Program. IBC offers a family program for members to play badminton with their children (under the age of 16) on weekends. Space is limited and this program fills up quickly every year.
