Badminton 2025

Our City League schedule is out (see attached). The school location that each badminton team plays at is listed each week behind the team. Aside from Mixed Doubles, which are always at Central School, our teams will be playing at different schools each week.  The coaches at each school will run the round robin for the players/teams attending. Rural schools (Waldeck School) can send 1 team for each category for league play and playoffs (Boys and Girls Singles, Boys and Girls Doubles, and Mixed Doubles). When we have more than one team in a category, we will chose the teams that will be going for each date. Attendance at practices and ability to attend will be considered when choosing. Playoffs between teams may also be considered.

During the badminton season, including City League play, parents/guardians are responsible for transporting their child to and from the game as the Waldeck coach does not always attend. However, there will be a badminton coach from the host school there. It is important that all Waldeck athletes conduct themselves in a responsible and respectful manner when visiting other schools

 

League Play:

 

City League play will run for 3 weeks beginning the week of April 7th and conclude with playoffs the week of May 5th. Grade 7 games will be on Mondays, Grade 8 games on Tuesdays, and Grade 6 games on Thursdays. All games should begin as close to 3:45pm as possible. During league play schools do have discretion regarding the length of games based on the number of teams playing, but do try to end close to 5:00pm.

 

Playoffs:

 

The playoffs will be played as a regular week at scheduled schools during the week of May 5. Rural schools (Waldeck School) will be able to enter 1 team per division. More information regarding the playoffs will be sent to you prior to the playoff week. 


 

Reminders:

 

  • Be sure that all players representing your school have racquets and protective, eyewear
  • Please make sure that players understand the Rally Point System and Service Rotation for Doubles.
  • Players need to check in with the hosting coach when they arrive and let them know their team name (i.e. Central 1, Central 2, Central 3). When naming teams please label 1 as the top team, 2 as the 2nd ranked team, and 3 as the 3rd ranked team from your school. We will register and Waldeck School.
  • Players are encouraged to be wearing their school/team colours (Waldeck does have team shirts that we will hand out earlier in practice).

 

Waldeck teams:

  • Must arrange rides from Waldeck School at the end of the day and a ride home. Parents driving other students must submit the proper permission forms to the office.
  • If your child rides the bus, please be sure to advise the bus driver of your alternate plans.
  • Please meet at the school entrance and let one of your coaches know before leaving the school.
  • Don’t forget your goggles, racquet, team shirt, and gym shoes. If you are borrowing a Waldeck racquet, please bring it home with you and back to the school the next morning.
