Racquets:

The gym has some very basic rackets that you can use. However if you intend to play regularly and improve your game then it is highly recommended that you get yourself a nice beginner racquet. Please contact info@annarborbadminton.org to get some advice on rackets or check out online reviews.

Shuttles/Birds:

The gym does not provide birds. You will have to get your own. You can get either synthetic birds or feather. Most of the players use feather birds. To save some money on shipping costs when we buy them online, we tend to pool together for large orders.  Please contact info@annarborbadminton.org to indicate your interest and we can roll your order in for the next time. For immediate gratification, please see Jack. He occasionally sells birds (green grade aero planes) at the gym

Shoes:

Non marking sole shoes are required by the gym. Badminton is a sport that requires a lot of cutting and quick changes of direction. To aid this, it is recommended that you invest in a good pair of badminton shoes. These can be found online. A suitable substitution may be volleyball shoes that can be bought a sports store.

Strings and Stringing:

In case you need stringing service, email info@annarborbadminton.org for assistance. Please keep in mind there are a few individuals at our club who are doing this strictly for the love of the sport and charge a minimal amount to cover for the labor/string.
