Hello! ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ
Welcome to our NYC Outdoor Badminton family ๐, where everyone is welcome ๐, whatever your age ๐ฅณ, fitness level ๐๏ธโโ๏ธ, badminton skills ๐ธ, or planet of origin. ๐ We are a fun-loving ๐, accepting ๐, hilarious ๐คฃ, respectful ๐, and wholesome ๐ group of badminton lovers, and we would love for you to join us!
You don't need to bring anything but your wonderful self! ๐คฉ We provide the badminton equipment including nets, rackets, birdies/shuttlecocks, and even picnic blankets for you to sit on in and make new friends ๐. Of course, you're welcome to use your own equipment if you prefer. ๐ It is optionally recommended to bring water for hydration ๐ฆ, energy food ๐ซ to keep your motor running, and sunscreen for healthy skin under the sun ๐.
There are lots of beginners and newcomers each weekend, so if you're one of these, don't worry.
If you can't find us, you can try giving one of us organizers a call or text๐

๐ฆ๏ธ Weather Watch! ๐ฆ๏ธ
Our leadership team is keeping a close eye on the skies and will make any final call about postponing or canceling Badminton by 10 AM on game day.
โ We know everyoneโs excited (or anxious) about the weather โ but when too many folks start sharing forecasts in the group chat, it can get confusing! While weโre working on the best plan for everyone, we kindly ask you to hold back on weather updates and let us do the worrying for you. ๐
