The badminton club for women, ‘Sisters’ badmimton’ was set up in late 2023 with the aim to provide a platform for women in Edinburgh to get active and meet like-minded women. The play sessions are organised 2-3 Saturdays a month, at one of Edinburgh Leisure’s sport facilities in the city, with equipment provided, making it accessible to working women, students and homemakers alike.
The group is managed by our volunteer Amreen, an expat in Edinburgh, with a keen interest in the sport. She saw an opportunity to practise her interest, meet new people and give back to the community, and thus proposed to set up the badminton club with MWAE.
The play sessions are open to women of all faiths, and all levels of expertise. We have had women who had never held a badminton racquet before, now converted to being badminton fans!
Play sessions once scheduled are announced on the Sisters’ Badminton whatsapp group and other MWAE social media. Registrations are necessary for participation in each play session.
The Sisters’ badminton is the best way to practise a sport in a pocket-friendly way.
