Botkyrka Badminton is a club that has grown for several years and continues to grow! This is gratifying, but also brings challenges.
To cope with communication and administration in the various training groups, the club has since last season started using the
Sport Admin app. The majority of all players are already using it. Thank you for that! This season,
everyone who practice in the club needs to download and use it, players and/or parents. It is absolutely necessary for us to be able to keep track of who trains on which days and who actually comes to training.
In order to continue developing players in all groups, a new coach has been hired. This is absolutely necessary, as the club's volunteer coaches do not have time.
After the pandemic, the price of badminton shuttles has risen sharply. With the general increase in costs and rising inflation, the price of shuttles has literally skyrocketed.
These factors, coaching needs and increased shuttle prices, as well as the Botkyrka municipality's decision to increase the club's court rentals, mean that the club must increase training fees in all training groups. This is unfortunately unavoidable. However, the membership fee remains unchanged. From this year, the payment of training fees will be split for the Fall and Spring semesters. Membership fees are only paid on one occasion per competition year. We are still one of Sweden's cheapest badminton clubs to play and train in, even after the increase.

Club training starts Monday, August 18 (v34)
Any transitions between groups will take place after the training has started (1 september) and we clearly see what the groups look like.
During the season we will arrange three major competitions: Botkyrkaslaget in November, 08-cup in December and Botkyrka Open in March. Since we are a non-profit organization, it is important that as many people as possible volunteer as officials on these occasions. More information about this will come during the season.
Once again, a warm welcome to the new season! We look forward to all the training, competitions and above all all the joy of playing that lies ahead of us all.
Kind regards,
