CLUB PROFILE
The Club is located at the
newly-built Longfields-Davidson Heights Secondary
School on 149 Berrigan Drive in Barrhaven,
where Club members enjoy playing doubles' badminton in an excellent six-court
hardwood gymnasium. The primary purpose of this new Club is to provide adult
(18 years+) male and female badminton players of all skill levels who live
in the Barrhaven area with their own local club.
LDHBC is also affiliated with the Ottawa District Badminton
Association (ODBA), giving members access to the larger badminton community in
Ottawa, including club insurance for players, equipment discounts, fun and
competitive tournaments, free teaching clinics for beginners, and social
events.
The Club supplies yellow Yonex Mavis 300 nylon shuttles, and members play
according to the 21-point rally scoring system. The Club uses a Game
Board with members' nametags, which allows all members the same opportunity
to choose players for his or her games as well as to enjoy games with as many
different Club members as possible each evening.
LDHBC plays in Gym A/B at Longfields-Davidson Heights Secondary School, and if you're
interested in taking a look at the facilities, a virtual tour of the school and
gyms is available at http://ldhss.ocdsb.ca/ by selecting "LDHSS Media" under the Menu
heading.
MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION
The
Club Membership Fee of $70 for the upcoming season includes all
available Tuesday play dates, shuttles, ODBA membership, and player insurance.
Club members must bring their own badminton racquets, and every player is
required to wear indoor-only,
non-marking, soft-soled court shoes in the gym.
Based on the number of available dates for September to
May, the cost of a Club membership works out to about $2.00 for each three-hour
evening. For the 2011-2012 Full Season, the Club is aiming for a maximum of
50 members.
LDHBC is a completely volunteer-run,
non-profit organization, so membership fees help to pay the costs of gymnasium
rental and OCDSB administrative fees, shuttles, ODBA fees, and any other
expenses required for the Club's operation, activities, and events.
GUEST PLAYERS
Starting
in late October 2011, Guest Players
will be allowed to play on designated
drop-in evenings for a $5 drop-in fee each. There will be a possible
maximum of four Guest Players per designated evening, depending on the number
of Club members in attendance.
Guest players are not allowed to
drop-in on a regular basis, or to drop-in for more than a total maximum of four
times during the 2011-2012 Full Season. Club members will always have first
priority in regards to court time over guest players when the courts are full.
Guest Players are also not allowed
at the Club on evenings when special events or activities are being held for
Club Members Only. See the Guest Players section on this website for more detailed information as well
as for the drop-in schedule
regarding "Designated Tuesday Evenings Open for Guest Player
Drop-Ins."
Guest players are required to e-mail the Club in advance
of any drop-ins on those designated evenings at longfields-davidsonheights.bc@hotmail.com in order to reserve one of the available guest player
