BACK IN THE GYM!
Hey everyone!
After one year of being in outside practices, we are finally having practice back in the UREC facility. We, as a club, have played at outside facilities, graciously donated time from BREC so we can play badminton during the down time of the UREC Student Recreation Complex.
The new times will be:
Tuesdays: 8:00 – 10:00 PM
Fridays: 6:00 – 8:45 PM
Due to new regulations within the Sports Club Program, our club will now be split into two.
1. Club members will only consist of students: Undergraduate students, Graduate students, and PhD students. Essentially if you have a student in your classification you are considered a student.
2. Our second group of members will consist of faculty, community members, and alumni. The main reason for the division is for the creation and organization of a student focused sports club group.
Thus, the times on Tuesday will only be open to the LSU Badminton Club and its members. If you belong in the second group, you will be welcome to come in during the community times on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Badminton Club rules still applies during these hours.

Here are some of the new programs that our club will be offering:
· Beginner’s Class: This program is meant for students who wish to learn the sport, rules, and general play and will be offered on Tuesdays from 8:00-10:00 PM.
o I, Leon Jang, along with a few of our more experienced members, Peng Loh, Hao-Hsiang “Shane” Chang, and Harris Wong, will be assisting me in coaching the newer players.
o There may be future divisions depending on how popular this program is.
· Challenge Courts: We have played with the idea before and will be implemented only on Fridays. To summarize the rules: games will be to 21, winner of the court will stay on, and challengers shall provide the first shuttle. For more information click on the link on the sidebar.
