The MIT Badminton club is only open to MIT affiliates (students, faculty, staff, alum or spouse of any of the above, although current students are given waitlist priority if the club is too full). These rules are set by the Club Sports Council at MIT and cannot be waived. For members of the general public who would like to play badminton at MIT, you may check the MIT open recreational schedule. These hours are updated weekly, and are not linked to the MIT Badminton Club in any way.

The MIT Badminton club is primarily competitive and competes in the Northern Conference of the Eastern Collegiate Badminton Championships, as well as local tournaments in the New England area (see News). We also have a small beginner/intermediate section for players, though this is currently at capacity and we are operating a waitlist for this. If you are a beginner/intermediate player, please note you can join intramural badminton or use open rec court times without being in this club.

For more information about joining, please click here. We typically hold practices on Tues/Fri evenings, with the Tuesday one being mandatory.

To contact us, you can email us at mitcbac-officers[at]mit[dot]edu. Please note that we cannot assist with open recreational badminton hours and these queries should be directly addressed to the MIT Z-Center staff.
