TG Badminton Club organizes casual badminton sessions for various level players on weeknights and weekends at some gyms in the central Tokyo area. About 70% of the members are foreigners and about 30% are Japanese. We normally play doubles but sometimes singles too depending on the no. of players that will show up.

Badminton schedule will be posted on the website and will be sent by email, too. Reservation is strictly required through our Meetup or by email to control the number of players.
