We're a friendly club open to Keele University students of any ability, from complete beginners to professional Badminton players! We run a range of sessions for social players and more competitive players.

As a club we currently have three BUCS teams: 2 Men's and 1 Women's. These teams play in BUCS fixtures competing against other universities on Wednesday afternoons. We also have a Mixed Social Team that plays in the North Staffordshire League Division 3, which provides an opportunity for our Social Members to play with our Competitive Members and gain competitive experience. Our Social Secretaries also run regular KeeleSU & sober socials open to all members.

This year, we have separated our Badminton Memberships into Social and Competitive. Please purchase the correct membership. If you are chosen to be in one of our BUCS Teams, you will be given the opportunity to purchase a Competitive Membership, otherwise all other members should purchase a Social Membership. Competitive Members will be allowed to attend any session. Racket hire, shuttles and court hire are all included in the membership fee.

Dev Sessions are also highly encouraged for anyone wishing to play for our Mixed Social Team.
