CCCU Badminton Club welcomes players of all backgrounds, abilities, and skills to join. The abilities at the club range from players who have never played before to players who have played at county & international levels. We all train as one big club without separating the competitive and the social players. Badminton is the perfect sport for those looking to improve their skills and fitness whilst gaining lifelong friendships.
We train at Christ Church Sports Centre on Tuesdays, 8:15pm - 9:45pm. The women's and men's teams compete regularly in British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) on Wednesdays, starting in September 2025. Our final match of the year is in the highly anticipated Varsity match against the University of Kent.
We look forward to welcoming you to our club!
