Badminton in Barcelona?

hiya
the federation of catalan badminton in rambla guipuscoa 23/25 might be able to help you.  also there is a webpage for this organisation badminton.cat.
i used to play a lot of badminton and tennis.  although getting on a bit, would be fun to get back into the habit so if you need a player let me know. happy hunting

Thanks a lot! I may also have found somewhere in my area (Gracia)

I'm not quite sure how it works, but I just got my NIE, so might be able to start looking into municipal facilities. I hope!

I want to be able to play badmington, but I just can't.

I'm not terrible at tennis, I can manage not to die whilst playing squash, but...

I just can't seem to hit the bloody shuttlecock, something about the way it moves, the speed through the air or something just means that I completely misjudge where it is going to be at any given time, and end up swinging my racket through empty space and looking like a complete cock.

I don't know why

maybe a little more water with it!!!!!!!  i've been to your parties john jejejeee!

J: That's exactly what I like about the game: it's unpredictability! That damn thing falls so weird that you have to be both extremely quick and ready for anything! With a tennis ball, for example, you can see exactly where and how the ball will come. I also like how light the game is, both racket and shuttle.

Oh, just NEVER play it on a windy day!

My wife on the other hand has just informed me that she would like to play badminton if anyone is looking for someone to play with.

Diddly - you've got her email
Steven - I'll send it to you

Hello,
I'm from Barcelona and would like to play badminton. I have found out this great sport. I'm not the best player but not the worst either.

Hi Everyone,
 
   I have just come to Barcelona and live next to University of Pompou Fabra. I would like to know if there is a place to play Badminton and if anyone is interested to play regularly.

I found this place (suggsted by Ronan): "Polideportivo Municipal de la Estacion Norte, C/ Nàpols, 42, 08018 Barcelona", which charges like 6 Euros per hour OR 30 Euros per month.

If someone knows a place cheaper than this, please let know.

Cheers,

Vivek

Hi,

My name is Juan and I am very interested in playing Badminton on week-ends and, if possible, on a reguular basis (in something like a club).

The best club I know in Barcelona is in Bellaterra, in UAB university SAF installations. I used to go there for a period but the fact of having to drive my car at rush hours made mi quit.

For Barcelona city center I tried Sants but found that the level was very unbalanced in between people.

And for a period I playes at Estació Nord in weekends with people I got to know in internet...that was quite nice even though the surface is quite carapy.

If anyone wants to play contact me!

Thanks!
Juan

Hey Joan ,

    We can play this Sunday .... I am too interested in playing on a regular basis .... Are you talking about "poliesportiu" complex ?

http://barcelona.salir.com/poliesportiu_estacio_nord


   Lets play this Sunday.... Vivek has also shown interest to play, He can join in too ....  As for me, I am in.

    Let me know

Regards

Hi Harsh,

I'm out this weekend but please count on me for next one!!!

Yes I used to play at poliesportiu. They give you the net and it's quite cheap, though I can't remember exactly the price.

My mail is [email protected]. Maybe we could create a Barcelona Badminton mailing list, like a google group or something. (Or just this forum)

Regards,
Juan
