From 2003 President

NYU Badminton Club already treated me nicely for 3 years. During this short peroid of time, badminton grows to become a part of me. Not only does it help me relief huge amount of tensions from school, it also brings me a chance to meet some really cool people. For me, it is an experience of a lifetime. There is nothing in this world that can be better than meeting with a group of friends who share the same interest. Badminton can bring together a group of strangers and made them friends. It doesn't matter who you are, students (both undergraduate or graduate) or faculty members. NYU Badminton club binds you all to the same court by your interest in playing this great sport.

NYU Badminton Club President 2003, Ken

Equipment

NYU Badminton T-shirt

We are aiming at making one T-shirt, 1 design in every academic year. Last year, we made a black T-shirt with white words saying NYU Badminton Club at the front and with NYU Badminton logo on the back. The price of a T-shirt depends on the number of orders by members, the more we order, the better deal we can get from the T company.
