Update: 27 November 2020
Following the Government announcement, we are delighted by the news that badminton will be allowed to return once again in the updated three-tier-system of restrictions. While the measures don’t yet allow for a full return to play, it has been confirmed that badminton will be allowed across all tiers, as set out below:
- Tier One: In line with our existing ‘return to play’ protocols, the ‘rule of six’ applies (six per court, singles and doubles, multiple households)
- Tier Two: Singles only between players from multiple households. Doubles from same household or support bubble
- Tier Three: Play only within your household or support bubble
- Organised activity is permitted for under 18, education and disability in all tiers
For a summary of these rules, click here.
Play Badminton Club venue falls under Tier Two and therefore our members will be limited to singles only between players from multiple households and doubles from same household or support bubble.
Play will return after 2nd December 2020 when the current lockdown is lifted. To read our club guidelines, click here.

Updated: 16 October 2020
Following the latest Government restrictions, we are extremely disappointed for our badminton family to learn that the rule of six measure will no longer apply for indoor sports in Tier 2 areas.
Play Badminton Club venues are within Tier 2 areas, and therefore this means that adult badminton can only be played within the same household. This will mean majority of our players will not be able to play badminton at this time.
For the safety of all club members, we are following the Government guidelines and Badminton England and badminton sessions are limited to same household members only.

Thank you and stay safe. Always wear a mask, wash your hands and keep your distance.
