Happy New Year, Welcome back!

2010-01-11T05:38:05Z

Our first spring meeting will (most likely) be Friday January 29. There may be open gym between now and then. Look for Julian's e-mails for the schedule.

INACTIVE MEMBERS PLEASE READ: To make room for new members, I will be removing members who never showed up after the first 4 weeks of the fall semester. If you wish to remain on the roster but did not show up very often last fall, just send me a message by February 5 indicating your wish to remain in the club (and then show up!!). Remember, you must be on my official roster to play during club hours (which essentially means no roster, no badminton for you. It sounds harsh, but those are the rules).

FOR PEOPLE NEW TO NYU BADMINTON, or for those of you with friends that are looking to join us in the spring: I will take new sign ups up until Friday, February 5, 8pm. Please follow the instructions below:

All new members MUST fill out a club sports athlete information card. Please copy and paste this link (http://www.nyu.edu/athletics/clubs/WhiteCard.pdf) into your browser. Print, fill it out, and give it to me at practice or leave it in the Badminton Club mailbox in the Coles Staff Office area by FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5. No electronic copies allowed. No exceptions. If you are not on the roster, you cannot play. Those are the rules.

A little information about us: We meet on Fridays (6-8pm club, 8-10:30pm team practice) and Sundays (4-7:30pm). You must bring your own racket. Bringing your own shuttles is highly recommended, though NYU does provide some plastic shuttles for use. We are a casual club. Practice is not mandatory (unless you are on the team) but I expect to see you somewhat regularly to remain on the roster. If you are a more advanced player interested in competitive badminton, please contact me.

Okay, questions? Ask away. Those of you still on break, hope you enjoy! See you all soon

Fall Sign-ups Info

2009-09-07T23:58:26Z

If you plan to participate in badminton this year, please read!

EVERYONE must fill out a club sports athlete information card in order to join for fall 2009. Please copy and paste this link into your browser to download a copy: http://www.nyu.edu/athletics/clubs/WhiteCard.pdf
You must turn in a hard copy!! You can turn it in at the clubfest, leave it in the badminton mailbox in the Coles staff office, or bring it with you to the first meeting (Friday, September 18, 7pm). E-mailed versions will not be accepted. No exceptions! Even if you were in the club last year, you must fill out a new info card. Deadline to sign up will be Sunday, September 20th at 7:30pm.

If you are interested in the team (students only), Friday, October 2 will be the one and only day for tryouts. Only those that can commit to training every Friday night as well as participate in Sat/Sun competitions (~3 per semester) should try out. The tryout procedure will go approximately as follows: Our coach will come and observe how you play to make an initial cut, and then he will formulate the final team by the end of the day. As a team member you benefit by representing NYU, free coaching, free travel to local schools (Princeton, Yale, UPenn) for tournaments, and free use of feather shuttles during practice. It's also a great bonding environment over badminton!

08-09 IBA final standings

2009-05-13T19:29:39Z

The badminton club-team did very well this year. Our men's team finished ranked 3, women's team ranked 1, and mixed team ranked 4. Great job team! More details can be located here: http://ibabadminton.com/IBArankings.htm

MVP 08-09

2009-05-13T19:21:53Z

This year we have one MVP and two honorable mentions for the NYU Badminton Club-Team. Awards were chosen based on club/team contributions, practice attendance and quality, and coach recommendations.

Our honorable mentions are:

Stevin Ho and Kevin Yang

And our MVP is...

Lu Chen

Lu Chen joined the NYU badminton team in fall 2008. She comes to every practice with a positive attitude. Lu won all her singles matches in every tournament this year. Teaming up with her partner Iris Yang in doubles, together they brought home the most winning points overall for the #1 ranked undefeated women’s team in the Intercollegiate Badminton Association (IBA) 08-09 season. Off the court, Lu may seem like your typical friendly, hard-working graduate student, but on the court she lets everyone know that she is serious about her sport. She is known by the team for her victory cheers during the games. As a member of the club-team, Lu also shares her talents, volunteering some of her own court time to help coach recreational club members in the team-club buddy program which kick-started in the fall. Lu has been an instrumental member of both the club and the team and she will be a valued member for years to come. Lu completed her first degree in Economics and International Studies at Peking University in China and is currently working on her masters in International Relations.

Shuttles will be provided. Please bring your own racket. Entry form and poster can be found on our website: www.nyudadminton.info
If filling out a form is too difficult (I know it's spring break and many of you are away), you can submit your entry via e-mail to Fabrice at fabrice.jaumont@nyu.edu (list and cc your partners so we're sure everyone is on the same page)

Awards:

Level 1 First Prize: 1 tube of Victor Champion + 1 bottle of wine. Second Prize: 1 tube of Head Supergrade. Third Prize: 1 tube of Go-Go

Level 2: First Prize: 1 tube of Yonex Mavis 500 + 1 bottle of wine. Second Prize: 1 tube of Yonex Mavis 500. Third Prize: 1 tube of Mavis 300

This week's schedule

2009-03-04T02:39:50Z

Unfortunately there will be no badminton this Friday due to a basketball game. Sunday's practice also depends on how fast basketball finishes.

If you'd like to play Sunday, you should call Coles first 212-998-2020. If I find out during the day that courts are available, I'll send an e-mail out but there will be no official practice this weekend.

Congrats to our women's team which remains undefeated for their win against Bryn Mawr (8-1) this past weekend. Our men's team also played well, defeating UPenn (6-3) but suffering its first loss against Drexel (4-5).

this week's schedule

2009-02-24T18:34:26Z

Friday 7-10:30pm recreational play
Sunday: 4:30-7:30pm recreational play

A few things to note:
1. Our courts technically should be set up at 6pm on Friday, but it was scheduled as "badminton class cancelled." I probably won't be there early enough to clear up any misunderstandings so come at your own risk. If I get confirmation, I'll send another e-mail out for those of you wanting to play earlier.

2. Please bring your own shuttles if you have them. NYU's supply is fairly low and another order won't go out until summer.

3. On Sunday, I will be with the team in Philly for a match against Drexel, UPenn and Bryn Mawr so definitely bring your own shuttles if you plan on playing Sunday.

4. To minimize court wait times, I highly encourage non-team members to play Sunday, as more team members will probably show up Friday for some last minute practice before their tournament.
