NOTE: The spring schedule still does not bring us back into SPH,so we continue to play in Armory, and we have some more and more reasonable hours: Mondays and Wednesdays from 4:00 - 5:45pm , and Fridays from 7:00 - 9:00pm. See also some picture of us in the Armory. Starting January 30, ending May 9.
As always: you have to be a UMD member and you need to pre-register.
A listserv mailing list for UM Badminton has been set up. Each clubmember is requested to sign up, so we can mail out announcements. Details here.

University of Maryland Badminton Club

Badminton at the University of Maryland is a student operated and student funded sports club. Membership is open to all UMCP faculty, staff, students and alumni (this does not include spouses by CRS rules) with dues of $5/semester ($10 for alumni). There are quite a few local badminton clubs if you don't belong to the UMD. The club only plays when classes are in session (fall, spring and summer, with typically a few weeks break inbetween) and we play in the North Gym, where we have 10 hardwood floor courts. The university has no fellowships in badminton. Recently (well, spring 1998) CRS opened a brand-new gym complex, now dubbed ERC, which will also have a new 8-court badminton gym. Open-rec badminton can normally be played on Saturdays 7-10pm and sunday 10am-2pm on 2 courts (yes, we know, there are 8 courts in this gym, 4 of them brilliantly obstructed by heavy basketball contraptions, and usually 2 courts can be used for badminton, and 2 for another sport).

You can also play badminton during the open hours in the CRC (now ERC) building ("East Gym"), but this is not Badminton Club associated. You might find some of us playing during these hours though. CRS is also organizing intramurals, in which badminton used to be played. Finally, the University also offers a credited class in badminton ( KNES 202).
