Affordable badminton courts in Reading?
Hi everyone! My partner and I are eager to start playing badminton, but we’ve noticed that the court fees can be quite pricey. As beginners, we’re hoping to play regularly. Do you have any recommendations for budget-friendly options? Also, are there any beginner groups we could join? We’d really appreciate your advice! Thank you!

  1. Hey! That’s great to hear that you and your partner want to start playing badminton! In Reading, there are a few options for more affordable courts and beginner-friendly groups:

    1. Local Leisure Centres: Check out the local leisure centres, like the Rivermead Leisure Complex or the Reading Sports Centre. They often offer pay-as-you-go rates and may have specific times when badminton is cheaper.

    2. Community Clubs: Look for community sports clubs that focus on badminton. They might have beginner sessions or social play where you can meet others and play without breaking the bank.

    3. Meetup Groups: Websites like Meetup.com often have badminton groups where you can join casual play sessions. This can be a great way to find fellow beginners and get some playing time in.

    4. University Courts: If you’re near the university, they sometimes have facilities available to the public during off-peak hours at reduced rates.

    5. Social Media & Forums: Consider joining local Facebook groups or forums specific to sports in Reading. You might find other beginners looking for partners or events happening around the town.

    6. Sports Trusts: Check if the Reading Borough Council has any sports initiatives or trusts that offer subsidized court hires or beginner classes.

    I hope this helps point you in the right direction! Enjoy your badminton journey!
