Meeting with Silver Springs Recreation Center Representative


Hello badminton fans. Looks like we are another step closer to be able to play badminton in Henderson, NV! Today, I met with the recreation services supervisor at Silver Springs Recreation Center to discuss further details. They are still open to offer badminton plays soon. Proposed starting hours were Mondays 10am-noon and Fridays 8am-10am with rather slim changes of anything occurring after 5pm on weekdays. The proposed fee would be $2 per participant. It could be a good start. The more of us, the better the chances of negotiating better hours. We've come to a consensus of what sort of net is needed. They want to purchase a badminton set whose poles fit in the same "sockets" of existing volleyballs setup. Lines will be added of course. If anybody knows a vendor or a place to which we could point out recreation center officials to purchase such badminton setup, let us know. Below is the picture from UNLV that depicts it. When could we start? In December'23 if everything goes well. Thank you!

    Hello. Just moved to Vegas and been looking for a group/place to play. Here are online shops for equipment: badmintonavenue.com, badmintonbay.com, badmintonalley.com. If they need help figuring it, I can try to help. I'll leave my email and we can go from there. Hope this works! I really miss playing and I need exercise...

    Thank you Lanze for the links. If you find a link to buy a pole like the one on the picture above, we would appreciate sharing as well.

    For poles: https://www.sportsimports.com/other-net-systems/badminton-net-systems/dg11-badminton-pole/ Yonex.com has the free standing ones. Do you know if there are active groups that are playing in other places in Vegas? Thanks.

    Thanks for the link Lanze! Student Recreation and Wellness Center at UNLV has probably most active groups.
