Badminton in Dublin 6

Funkyapple

Hi All,

Could anyone tell me where I could go to get badminton lessons or join some club near the Rathmines area and how much does it generally cost??

Cheers!:)

Hi FunkyApple,

Mount Pleasant are a tennis, badminton and squash court located in Ranelagh! Chloe Magee, a member of our club has recently qualified for the Olympics in badminton so we're badminton proud these days!
Why don't you drop down and check us out?
Give Dee, the club manager a call (497 3733) and she will be happy to tell you all you need to know about joining & organise for someone to show you around.

Cheers
Ciara

Hi, is there a pay as you go for badminton option rather than the whole membership?

I'm out that neck of the woods too and to be honest I don't know any clubs/halls within walking distance. If you have a car (or bike!) then to be honest you have a huge selection within 10-15 mins drive depending on traffic. Whitehall Road (loads of clubs or pay as you play) isn't that far at all if you head out via Crumlin or Inchicore. Even the likes of Mt Pleasant are still not that far away. If city centre is your preference I think there used to be a YMCA club on Wexford Street (or whatever name that street is along that section)?

Hi All,

Only seeing this now - There is a club pay as you go - all levels on a Tuesday night.
Magda is the name of the lady who runs it - its a group that just get together.

If you call the YMCA on Aungier Street they will give you her number. Very friendly group.

Is there any lessons going with that Aungier St thing?? Might check it out next Tuesday, to see what the story is.

whitehall road and baldoyle are main locations for beginner classes, check out leinster badminton.there will probably be some later in the year.id recommed doing some classes before joining a club.also both whitehall and baldoyle have pay as you go courts but you have to see if they have courts available in advance
