Badminton

The Durham University Badminton Club are a welcoming, determined and successful team at Durham University. The club has three women's teams and three men's teams in the BUCS league. This year, our team had some outstanding performances. For our weekly BUCS league games, M1 won division 1 undefeated and got promoted to the Northern premium league, while W1 won the league and got promoted to division 1. W3 won division 3 and got promoted to division 2. The remaining teams (M2, M3, W2) also came second in their own league! League and national games aside, our W1 was the winner of Northern Conference Cup while our W2 made it to semifinals. Well-done!

Being one of the few clubs that train together as a mixed team, this club has a great social atmosphere with long-lasting friendships created every year between members. The Badminton Club is also proud to promote diversity and inclusivity; the club also has a Development Squad which proves to be very popular amongst students wanting to progress into competition squads. In these sessions, students have the opportunity to be coached by our team players in a two-hour weekly session. The club welcome anyone to attend these sessions and team members have regularly been recruited from the development squad to attend team training.
