Welcome to the
Arizona Badminton Center!
After more than 25 years of dreaming and searching we established the first fully dedicated badminton-specific facility in Arizona history officially opening February 14, 2012 (which is Valentine's Day and was also Arizona's 100-year statehood anniversary! AZBC Memberships began on Feb 20, 2012). This year we are celebrating our 13th anniversary!!!
We continue to celebrate great badminton play day after day, 7 days a week! We are consistently working to improve our club so that everyone who plays, whether a member or a visitor, young or old, novice or expert, has the best possible badminton experience.
Along with lots of hours of Open Play 7 days a week and a fully operational Pro Shop with stringing services and a wide array of rackets and accessories, we also offer Kids Classes, Intro Adult Classes, group and private lessons, and tournaments of all types for all ability levels.
See the Events and Coaching pages for more details about our current training schedule and up-coming tournaments.
For more than 25 years we searched for the right building and location for our home. It was no easy thing to find the right combination of building design, dimensions and ceiling height. It has been worth the wait!
Everything has been done with the badminton playing experience in mind... special lighting and custom padded wood flooring, high visibility ceiling, floor and wall colors, court side benches, bleachers by Court #1, a newly remodeled, comfortable lobby and fully equipped Pro Shop, and more.
So many have contributed to make this dream possible and it is a thrill to serve all the Arizona badminton community with the very best for friends, family, fitness and training!
THANK YOU!
- Founder, Director Guy Chadwick & Club Pro Anthony Phillips
