OUBaC would like to offer everyone a warm welcome to Oxford for the 2018/2019 season! There will once again be plenty of opportunities to play badminton this year including college badminton, Clubnight and in the Squad. Most colleges will be offering some recreational badminton within college and there will be opportunities to play against other colleges if you fancy a more competitive game. For more details about the badminton in your college, email your captain (a list can be found here) or ask one of the committee. OUBaC also organises its own recreational badminton session, Clubnight. This is a chance for anyone based in Oxford to play some fun, light-hearted badminton and there is always a good game to be had! To find out more about the times that are running check out the sessions list here, find us at the Freshers' Fair or come along to one of the free sessions in 1st week. Those looking to play some competitive badminton might be interested in the Squad. This is an opportunity for some of the best players in the university to represent OUBaC in matches against the local teams, other universities and in the all-important Varsity match. For a chance to join the squad see the information on trials below.
Trials for the squad will be held on the weekend between 0th week and 1st week at Iffley Road Sports Centre.
Men: 11:30-13:30 - Saturday 6th October
Women: 13:30-15:30 - Sunday 7th October
Please bring your racket if you have one, but there will be some provided if not. Also, make sure that you arrive before the session begins, as we have a limited amount of time available!
Blow off some revision-induced steam by signing up for the OUBaC end of year tournament on Saturday 26th May, 15:30-17:30 (5th week). The format will be team based with players put into randomly drawn teams at the start of the event, so that each team has an equal chance of winning! Due to space constraints we are limited to approximately 24 clubnight players and 8 squad players, so don't delay in signing up below!
Guest players are welcome, but preference will be given to OUBaC members in the event of the tournament being oversubscribed. Everyone is welcome to attend the club social following the tournament :)

'Twas the night before Varsity, when all thro' Iffley Road
Not a creature was stirring, not even a toad;
The racquets were strung by the coach with care,
In hopes that OUBaC soon would be there;
The players were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of The Official Varsity Video 2016 danc'd in their heads,
