Singles Competition

Information

The rare Singles events to provide Singles badminton players more enjoyable games! (Please ignore Partner wording in the form, as system is not yet updated for Singles)

Due to high court & shuttle costs, lack of platforms for Singles players, in league matches or club sessions, therefore we have looked into court availability and plan Singles Competition on monthly basis, based on level range. See updated dates below:
