Hello and welcome to the English page of 1. Badminton Club Bad Homburg e.V.!
Due to the growing demand of international badminton players living around the Frankfurt / Bad Homburg area that are looking for a possibilities to play, we’ve made this page to help you. This is a summary of the main content you will find on the German pages.
Where?
The sportscenter is located in the Frölingstrasse next to the Humboldtschule in Bad Homburg. Cars can find a free parking slot right in front of the sportscenter on a semi-public parking lot. Please note that the Frölingstrasse is a one way street, so entering directly from the Urseler Strasse is not possible, please use the Hessenring and then Schleussnerstrasse.
When?
The senior training session takes place every Monday from 7pm to 10pm and Thursdays from 8pm to 10pm.
The juniors <18 years practise on Thursdays from 6pm to 8pm.
(unfortunately there are no trainings during the school holidays of the state of Hessen, the News page provides some more information in English as well)
Who are we?
The club exists since 1986 and offers the complete variety of badminton specific activities starting from junior beginners to semi professional teamplayers in the Frankfurt district league and seniors practicing their skills gained in years on a recreational basis. In this environment it should be easily possible to find a suitable opponent to have a challenging game and most important a good time together. Quite a lot of our permanent members are fluent in English, so communication outside the court is also no problem. New players are always most welcome, even if only for a limited time. The first couple of training sessions are with no obligation and should be used as a trial to find out if the club offers the kind of (leisure) sports activity you are looking for. We also offer short time memberships on a case-by-case basis, if your stay in Frankfurt/Germany is limited in time.
Contact
Everything else is best talked about with one of our board members (almost) always present on Thursdays. Just stop by with the appropriate sports gear – please note: non-marking sport shoes are mandatory, sufficient club rackets are always availiable for anybody in need.

We hope to see you soon personally and are looking forward to share some great moments playing together or against each other on the court!
