Q: How is the practice held? A: The practice is self-organized. You come, check out the rackets and shuttles from the equipment desk, set up the nets, and then play with others. When you are done, put away the nets and return the rackets and shuttles. That's it! There is no coach or drills. But you do need dress up in sports clothes and shoes. Bring your student ID for the entry of RAC and the equipment checkout.

Q: How come the practice does not have a set schedule? A: Because the RAC arena is used not only for badminton but also for the games and practices of Retriever Men/Women's basketball/volleyball teams. When the RecSports arranges the schedule for the club, they are given the priority to access the courts. If their schedules are not set, the RecSports will not give us a set schedule.
