Badminton Club At New York University

Hi Everyone,

Great news! Lots of badminton in the schedule for this week. We will have our regular setups on Friday 7-10:30pm and Sunday from 5-7:30pm (5-6pm team training).

On Saturday, November 3 we will have our Intercollegiate Badminton League home game with Columbia from 3-7:30pm. Please stop by and show support for your fellow club-teammates!

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for the delayed results. I'm still working on a good prototype to report games/pictures but for those of you that are anxiously waiting, I've temporarily posted them here:

http://homepages.nyu.edu/~ec1214/NYUBad/ 

 I will add more pictures as I receive them.

Enjoy! 

p.s. If any of you really enjoy webdesign, I'd be really very happy to pass this job on to someone else, as my skills are somewhat lacking in this area. : )

Due to a big volleyball tournament this weekend there will be no setups this week. Have a great weekend!

Friday 7-10:30

Sunday 5-7:30

 Good luck to team members playing Yale this Saturday!

Friday 7-10:30pm
Sunday 5-7:30 (5-6pm team practice)
(No cancellations!!! YAY!)

Many of you showed up to the first or second practice but haven't come back (or have never signed in on the attendance sheet). If you know this is you and would like to stay on the roster, please send me an e-mail or show up on Friday and sign in. Otherwise, I will remove you from the roster. You are welcome to stay on the mailing list (or you can remove yourself using your nyu.home account) but you won't be able to play again until the spring semester once you've been removed.

I will send out a separate e-mail regarding challenges and the Yale game to the team. If you are a student on the ladder (http://nyubadminton.info/blog/the_team/) you will get this e-mail.

There will be no badminton this Friday. Sunday setups will still be from 5-7:30pm with team only training from 5-6pm. The team will also use two courts from 6-7pm for mixed games and ladder challenges. If you are not yet on the ladder but were interested in joining the team, please come at 6pm so I can fit you in.

After much effort to try to get more badminton time/space, unfortunately there is no other time I can reserve for badminton and so I will not be able to accept any more new members this semester. I can try to make exceptions on a case by case basis if you are a really dedicated badminton player. Because badminton time is so limited I have to divide practices between team and free play.

Team members please let me know if you cannot make it to the Yale game on SATURDAY, Oct 20. We will take the 11:07am train from Grand Central Station and return approximately 8:30 pm (depending on when we plan to leave). Train fares will be covered.

T-shirts have been ordered. I decided to get the design on a white shirt. They should arrive in about two weeks.

Hi everyone,

According to the handbook, the deadline to join is the second Friday of the club sports recreation calendar. I had extended the date to last Friday (Sept 28, the third Friday) since I forgot to remind people. Everyone must be on my roster in order to play or they will be considered the same as a non-club members and I cannot allow them to play unless there is space (free space = open courts with no club member waiting to play).

Please spread the word to your friends who haven't yet joined. They can probably come play later in the semester if our attendance numbers start to drop. Unless you've spoken to me already and can bring me (Emily) a club sports athletics information card this Friday (Oct 5), consider the deadline past. (said quite friendly of course)

1. Times
2. T-shirts
4. Yale game: Oct 20
5. Team practice
6. Joining the team

1. Times: Friday 8:30-10:30pm (volleyball again).
Sunday 5-7:30 pm. (5-6pm, team only. See team practice for more information.)

2. I am placing the order for t-shirts. The design will be printed on a solid gray t-shirt. T-shirts should come in about two weeks, just in time for our first game! Last minute to order your t-shirt will be Tuesday 11:59pm. Send me an e-mail and you can bring me the money on Friday.

4. Yale game: Team members, if you are in the top 6 singles or top 3 doubles, please let me know ASAP if you cannot make it to our first match, Saturday October 20. Please refer to the ladders here: http://nyubadminton.info/blog/2007/09/singles_and_doubles_ladders.html

For those not in the top 6 singles or 3 doubles and interested in playing in the tournament, please let me know if you would like to challenge so that I can arrange the games and give ample notice to everyone. You can challenge up to two levels above you at a time.

5. Team practice: Please show up stretched and ready to go at 5pm so instructions will only need to go out once. Due to space limitations, we can only accommodate 24 people for training. So you must be in the top 10 on a singles ladder or top 5 on a doubles ladder to participate.

If you are eligible but cannot make it Sunday, please let me know so I can make the space available to someone else. If you'd like to train but are not currently eligible, please e-mail me name/phonenumber and I will let you know if we do have space for you.

6. Joining the team. If you still haven't been placed on a ladder, I will try to arrange some games on Friday to get you placed. However, if you don't forsee yourself being in the top 10 singles or top 5 doubles, I'd recommend playing recreationally, improving your skills and trying out in the spring.
