Clubs & Associations

Clubs & Associations are the backbone of badminton across Australia. By providing a place for people of all abilities to engage and experience badminton they are the heartbeat and are such a critical environment. 

Affiliated badminton clubs are registered as members with their State/Territory Badminton Organisation and are recognised as being safe, fun and engaging environments for players, helping them build fundamental skills, movement and tactics which are key to success in badminton.

To find a place for you to play you can head to our “Where to play badminton page” or head to your state/territory association to find out more about badminton within your state.

As part of the Badminton Australia High Performance Pathway, Clubs & Associations play a crucial role in the process and movement of young players into competitive badminton and up the pathway. You can read more about the High-Performance Pathway here.

Club Information

Running a club can be challenging or intimidating at times. The Australian Sports Commission has developed a series of resources for clubs to access for free to guide them towards success.

GAME PLAN is a free online platform that allows sporting clubs of all sizes to get insights into their current capability in key areas of club administration, then supports ongoing club development with a suite of tools. Clubs assess and evaluate their own environment, identifying their unique strengths and potential areas for improvement.

Clubs are the lifeblood of sport in Australia and badminton is no different. With close to 300 clubs currently operating regular training, building competitive teams or providing a place for social play, clubs offer great opportunities for badminton to grow. Badminton Australia strongly encourages new participants to get involved with clubs that are affiliated with their state/territory associations.
