Morning Badminton Program
The Morning Badminton Program is open to all Adult, Student
and Morning members. While we will begin
the new season with the existing playing procedures and playing hours, it may
be necessary to re-evaluate these during the season to accommodate changes in
playing patterns due to changing demographics and member needs, particularly
during Tuesday and Thursday mornings, which have seen a large drop in
attendance over the past few years.
It should also be noted that adult daytime playing hours
during the 2010 Badminton Camps are being reviewed. New schedules will be announced in January
2010. Should Morning membership hours be
affected, appropriate compensation will be made by allowing members to play in
evening hours.
At this time, the focus for the Morning Badminton Program is
different on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from Tuesdays and Thursdays. Members are encouraged to follow the
following guidelines to ensure they get matches at their appropriate level of
play.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays, the emphasis is more on members at
the intermediate and social levels. The
Play Board system is used to have players mix, regardless of level or
ability. A daytime coordinator is
present to answer questions and help members, new and veteran, to set up
foursomes for doubles play. When one or
more courts are not required for play under this system, members may set up
their own games on vacant courts with the permission of the coordinator.
On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, the focus is on players at more
advanced playing levels. The Play Board
system is also used to set up games.
However, because of the possible differences in the level of fitness and
playing level of members attending, those wishing to play at a higher level of
competition may ask the Professional to be identified with a “blue dot” and may
place their name tags under the “Waiting
for a Blue Dot Game” tag to await a game with other players so identified.
