Weekly Open Play

We play twice a week at the UCCS Recreation Center located at 1420 Austin Bluffs Pkwy, Colorado Springs, CO 80918

Open gym times are Tuesdays and Fridays from 7:00pm to 9:30pm. Please contact us for any time changes before your first visit.

Come as you are, bring comfortable court shoes, and your racket. Admission to UCCS is $7 per person. The club provides unlimited shuttles for play for an additional $2.00 per visit.

The Pikes Peak Badminton Club strongly encourages players to wear eye protection. Even at only 1/6 of an ounce in weight a shuttle striking an eye at great velocity can do permanent and terrible damage.

Pikes Peak Badminton Club History

In the late 1980s The Pikes Peak Badminton Club was founded by Jim Stabler and Walt Freudenberg. For a few years the players played only at the Downtown YMCA in the mornings and some evenings at the Olympic Training Center after the resident athletes were done using their courts on a given day. After the Olympic badminton athletes moved their program to California we had to find a new place to play and played at the downtown YMCA until COVID-19 changed everything. After a year of shut down, we resumed at various locations and currently play at the UCCS Recreation Center
