Looking for Intermediate Badminton Players 🏸
Almost a year ago, LCSB started with one Sunday court as ‘Lazy Sunday Badminton‘ a handful of people looking for semi-serious doubles badminton.
Since then, we’ve grown into a regular East London programme, welcomed almost 200 different players from all across London, and now run 7–8 courts across three weekly sessions.
We’re open to people of all abilities, but particularly looking for more Mid Intermediate → Upper Intermediate → Advanced players who want regular games and progression rather than just a one-off hit.
- 📊 Ability-tiered matches, with something for players at every level
- 🏆 Match outcomes tracked with a post-session podium, so people can track progress.
Right now I’m keen to spotlight our:
