"Discover the dynamics of badminton at BAD'87! We are a lively club that shares the passion for badminton, open to everyone aged 18 and above. With us, it is not about top performance, but the pure fun of the game, although sometimes the competitive spirit can take over!
BAD'87 is distinguished by an informal, friendly atmosphere, where mutual harmony and respect are key. We do not have strict rules about court layout or composition, but rather encourage spontaneity and flexibility.
Our experienced players are always ready to guide newcomers, teaching them the intricacies of technique and tactics. Whether you are a beginner looking to discover the sport, or an advanced player looking to hone your skills, BAD'87 welcomes you with open arms. Step into the world of badminton with us and experience the excitement of the game!"   

The feathers for shuttlecocks always come from the left wing of a goose. This causes the shuttle to rotate clockwise.
If feathers from the right wing or right and left wing are used, the shuttle will not turn properly.

Our club has reached its maximum number of members and therefore we need to institute a membership freeze. To ensure quality, we will work with a waiting list for potential new members. Thank you for your understanding.

We are proud to announce that our club has now reached its maximum membership. Due to high interest, we have been forced to impose a membership freeze.
In addition, we currently receive so many applications that it is unfortunately no longer possible to put new interested parties on the waiting list either.
As soon as space becomes available again and the waiting list is reopened, we will of course communicate this.
Although this means we cannot welcome any new members for the time being, we are extremely happy to see that our club is so popular and appreciated. We thank everyone for their trust and interest in our club.
