Edinburgh University Badminton Club
Welcome to EUBC! Whether you’re picking up a racket for the very first time or looking to get back on court, we’re the place for you. We’re a welcoming and inclusive community that brings together students of all abilities to enjoy badminton, stay active, meet new people and make the most of university life.
What’s On?
Recreational Badminton
Looking for a fun, friendly and flexible way to play badminton? Our recreational sessions run twice a week, giving you plenty of opportunities to get on court, develop your skills and enjoy a few rallies with fellow members.
📍Wednesday | 5pm–10pm
Pleasance Sports Hall
📍Saturday | 9am–12pm
St Leonard’s Land, Games Hall
Our sessions are open to all club members, regardless of experience or ability. Whether you’re a complete beginner, played a little at school or have years of experience, everyone is welcome! Our aim is to provide a relaxed and enjoyable environment where you can play at your own pace, improve your game and connect with other members. All You Need Is Yourself!
We want getting involved to be as easy as possible. We have a selection of rackets available for members to borrow and provide all feather shuttles, so there’s no need to invest in equipment before joining us. Simply bring yourself, some suitable sportswear and a pair of court shoes, and you’re ready to play!
Of course, if you have your own racket, feel free to bring it along.
More Than Just Badminton: Club Socials 🎉
One of the best parts of EUBC is our community off court! Alongside our regular badminton sessions, we organise socials throughout the year to bring members together, make new friends and create lasting memories.
Families Night 👨👩👧👦
One of our favourite recurring socials is Families Night! It’s a brilliant opportunity to get to know other members, meet people across the club and feel part of the badminton family, both on and off court. Our badminton families help you connect with other members, settle into the club and get involved in our social scene. Whether you’re a returning member or completely new to the club, there’s a place for you!
