About us

The Royal Holloway Badminton Club is made up of numerous committed, fun and outgoing individuals who share a love for badminton and a desire to thrive in it. RHUL Badminton contains players of all skill levels who are eager to play badminton. Whether it's intense competition you're after or a little harmless shuttle action, RHUL Badminton offers something for everyone. The community at RHUL Badminton is welcoming and close-knit, and everyone there has an open mind.

Our Competitive teams compete in BUCS on Wednesdays and mixed teams compete in LUSL on Sunday 

We hold a variety of Team Trainings, Coached Sessions and Active Sessions where people can play with other players people of similar skill levels and create lifelong friendships. You'll have the chance to not only advance in badminton but also meet loads of like-minded and talented individuals with whom you can have a laugh with!

New for 2026/27, we are introducing our Coached Social Club, providing a more structured way for players of all abilities to learn and improve their badminton skills in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

Royal Holloway Badminton offers two types of membership:

• Social Membership - £15 + £6.50 per session: Our new Coached Social Club provides a relaxed and accessible way to play and learn badminton. After purchasing your £15 Social Club membership, your first session is included. Thereafter sessions are available for £6.50 each. Sessions are open to all abilities, whether you're completely new to badminton, looking to improve your skills or simply want to play, meet new people and have fun.
