Membership Registration/Renewal

Note: Starting Fall 2019, the fee structure has been changed from $10 to $10.52 for students and from $20 to $20.74 for faculty/postdocs/community members. This is to incorporate the convenience fee charged by PayPal for a payment of $10 or $20.

We are now accepting memberships for 2019-2020 academic year. This includes membership for Fall 2019, Spring 2020 and Summer 1 and Summer 2, 2020. The membership provides access to the badminton courts during the UNC Badminton club times mentioned on the club calender. Please note that this fee does not cover entry fees to access UNC gyms including Fetzer hall. It is the duty of the club applicant to ensure that they have access to fetzer hall.

The UNC badminton club welcomes players at all levels – beginner, intermediate and competitive. However, we ask that ALL club members adhere to the Member Handbook and the instructions listed below to ensure safe participation for everyone.

At the end of the registration grace period, those who have not registered will be removed from the UNC Badminton Club Mailing List. You can still join the Free Mailing List (see info at the end) to receive basic emails about training opportunities, community events, etc. The Constitution of the UNC Badminton Club states that all members are expected to: 1) adhere to the highest standard of Sportsmanship and treat fellow players with courtesy; 2) not occupy a court for unreasonable length of time; 3) help players of lesser ability, and learn from those who are better.

We also ask that each member picks up and trashes used shuttles before leaving the gym on club play sessions.

Please make sure that you go over the Member Handbook for clear understanding of what it means to join the UNC Badminton Club.
