LEARN ABOUT PUKEKOHE BADMINTON CLUB
Based in Pukekohe, South Auckland the biggest and brightest city in New Zealand (but keep it a secret, we don't want everyone to know) is a club that focusses on both people and badminton passion. We're so passionate about badminton we start the kids from birth (not really, from 5 years!) and play through the ages to our oldest 90 year old member (Can you beat it?). Keep it casual (if you're not ready for the commitment) or tie the knot with annual memberships to play club nights Thursday, or really commit with Interclub to mingle and play against Franklin Badminton Clubs.

SPEAK
TO THE
MANAGER
Calm down Karen.
But really, you can speak to our manager. We just call him Eugene though and he's pretty cool... Email him, call him on those fancy mobile telephone things. Or Paddy on 0272996723. Hey, you can also checkout our facebook page, we're usually on there just like you are (admit it).
Please be aware we are a club of volunteers so if it takes us a little time to get back to you please be patient, we're unfortunately probably doing our day jobs.
CHART
A
COURSE
Grab the Compass, plot the points on the map! Or should we say grab your shoes and racket, and open Google Maps.... Nah, doesn't sound as cool.
​
Our club nights are located in the halls of Pukekohe High School Gym.
​
Hey, we're WARNING you now...
The gym is sometimes a little tricky to rock a rhyme - sorry no, that's not right - it's tricky to find.
PERUSE THE FAQs
COURT HIRE
Short story - no. We play at Pukekohe High School and strangely enough we don't own a school.... We suggest getting in touch with the Franklin Pool & Leisure.
RACKETS
We do have rackets to borrow on the night. However if you're looking to play more regularly we suggest you buy your own.
SHUTTLES
We try not to call them shuttle cocks these days... for some reason people laugh.
No worries, we supply all Club Night & Interclub shuttles.
​
WHEN
The magic day for Club Nights is Thursday. Always. No, not any other days... Thursday. Interclub is decided each round and is usually one of Mon/Tues/or Wed.
KIDS SESSION
Ages have been given as a guideline to what session kids fit into. If unsure, a good rule is the younger one. But hey, it's easy to chat and ask!
