FAQ
Wanna know the basics before you hit join?
Who can join?
Anyone who has a CWRU Network ID!
For liability reasons, only those with CWRU Network IDs (abc123) can participate in our club. If you're a CWRU undergraduate student, graduate student, postdoc, faculty, or staff, you're good to go! CIM students are also welcome!
*Alumni and CIA students unfortunately cannot join, sorry!
Is there a certain skill level I need to join?
Nope!
No experience is necessary to join. We welcome players from all skill levels!
Is there a free trial period?
Yes!
Yes! For freshmen at CWRU, the first two weeks of practice are your free trial period.
How much is membership?
$40 per semester
The cost of dues covers your ability to use the club's nylon/feather birdies and other expenses and equipment such as tournament transportation and accommodations, access to a stringing machine, string, overgrip tape, etc. Payments are made through Campus Groups.
Is equipment provided?
Only for members after the trial period!
If you're a member, nets and birdies (shuttlecocks) are provided and club rackets are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
When are practices?
We hold practices Monday/Wednesday/Friday beginning August 26th.
Practices for fall 2024 semester will be held every Monday, Wednesday, Friday from 6:00pm - 8:00pm at Veale courts 1 & 2. (Practice dates and times are subject to change throughout the semester, but they are posted on the CWRU Athletics Facilities Schedule.) Our last practice of the semester will be Monday, November 25th.
Are there tournaments?
We compete in at least 1 collegiate tournament per semester.
We occasionally hold university-wide tournaments.
*Intramurals are managed by Athletics, and not Club Badminton
Wait, but I'm not eligible for the USA Badminton league.
That's okay, you're still eligible for all our other events!
If you are ineligible for the league's events, we still have non-league intra/inter-mural events and club practices that you can join!
I heard there's an exec board. Can I join?
Yes!
While our annual Exec elections happen during February, please reach out to the Exec board at badminton-exec@case.edu if interested!
