We will not have practice tomorrow night (January 20th). We apologize for not being able to hold many Friday practice, but we hopefully will try to have our first Friday practice next week!

If you are interested in buying a team jersey and are a dues-paid member, please shoot us an email by Saturday, the 21st. We will give you a bit more information via email.

First practice of the quarter will be tonight at 9PM! We are going to experiment having an actual "practice", which includes conditioning and drills for the first hour of practice. Please come prepared if you would like to take part. If you are not interested, some courts will still be available for recreational uses. Hope to see you all there!

Winter quarter practice times will be exactly as Fall quarter! See everyone in 2 weeks and happy holidays!

There will not be practice this Friday, December 2. Our last practice was tonight. Sorry for the late announcement. We will announce Winter practice schedules over break. It will most likely be the same time but changes may occur.

Thank you for your participation and good luck with finals. Have a wonderful 4-week vacation!

No surprise here, but again this week's Friday practice will be canceled because of Veteran's Day holiday. Also, if you had stopped by our gym last week, Friday practice was yet again canceled because the officers were at the IM Badminton Tournament held at the ARC. Sorry for the lack of Friday practices and thank you for your cooperation.

Thank you all for playing in the 2011 Fall Open! We hope you had fun and we hope to see you all again in Spring of next year.

Congratulations to the winners!

Hello everyone,

Sign up's are now closed. Also, we will no longer accept group entries. If you are still interested in participating, you can email us your entry (there will be a $5 late entree fee).

In the mean time, please print and sign the tournament waiver if you are not a UC student. This will speed up the registration process at the tournament.

Hey everyone,

A quick thank you to UC Berkeley and Evergreen Valley for some good games. Results can be found in the Events Page.

Tournament Update:

The shirt design for Spring Open 2011 has been voted on! Remember to pre-order when you sign up!

Hey everyone,

Here are a few little notes.

1. It will really speed things up during check-in on Saturday/Sunday if you download the waiver, print and fill it out beforehand! It will save you time for warming up!

So please download your waiver now!

UC Students (not just Davis!) do not need to sign the waiver but they will need to present valid ID at check-in.

2. Also a quick little note about group entries.

Group entries will recieve a discount of $18 for the first event and $12 for any additional events. A group consists of 10 or more people. To receive the group discount, someone from the group must submit a group entry form which can basically be an Excel file with member names and their events and partner(s). Submit this excel file via e-mail to davisbadminton@gmail.com. Regardless of the group entry, each member must still sign up individually.

Hey everyone! The dates are FINAL: April 23rd and 24th.

Sign-ups for the 2011 Davis Spring Open are now OPEN up to midnight of April 15th!

Please use the side menu to sign up.

We are currently finalizing the dates of the 2011 Davis Spring Open. It will be at the end of April. Sign ups will open as soon as the dates are set. In the meantime, we are accepting tournament shirt designs!
