Badminton Players Get together
All those badminton players who recently moved to Doha and couldnt find a decent place to get together and play with a decent group of people ( I mean come and play rather than come and wait in line for a chance to enter the court, besides putting up with all the politics to get into the only good court--maybe you knwo which place I am talking about ??), shoot a reply and we will form a group. I know a place where we can rent a court ( not expensive )and if we have enough people, we could make some friends and have an excellent evening of badminton too. I dont mean to be rude, but I would prefer to form a group of people who can play decently well, not beginners.
hello Everybody,
I played state level in India. It would be a pleasure for me if get entry to this group. My contact No is - 66948205

All the sporting facilities in Doha and such limited badminton places. Cryin shame! If anyone finds somewhere else, I'd be interested. Play at the Qatar Badminton at the mo. but it's miserable having to wait for the one court...saying that, had some brill mixed doubles with my girl friends. If only we could use the Aspire....
The fees charged is QR 300 monthly for an hour of coaching every alternate day.
My classes are from 8.00pm to 9.00pm on Sun,Tue and Thu....
The timings are flexible and u cud arrange it with the coach according to your free time.
The first day was brilliant....really got me tired n sweating...will atleast help me loose some waistline...hehe
Good luck n lemme know if u need help with the registration.....
coolasice,good for you bro!!! how much did it cost to get registered at the khalifa and how long is the duration of the session? i might be interested,but hafta know the timings first.do they have different schedules or could we be the one to choose our own?
I again,shall wait for your post,keep on smiling while smashing that ball!!!
"laakum deenukum wa liyyah deen"
Okie friends...i have dropped the plan....no plc where u can play some good badminton....
i had checked out a few places n most of them were in house sort of self made courts with lil space n roof open....
So i'm joining at the Khalifa tennis and Squash Complex n got myself registered there....they have a tennis school there with plenty of coaches who will make sure u're playin it right!!!
today is the first day....if any of u r interested let me know...cud help u guys out .......
Daisy.....any luck with ur searchin!!!
coolasice,you're really cool man!!! kei,we'll keep our fingers crossed for whatever comes up for us....but let's not forget that we have to keep asking around and poke our noses in places which we think smells good (hehehe)...that's the badminton court,what are you guys thinking?
keep on smiling and we're waiting for your next post.
"laakum deenukum wa liyyah deen"
I have a friend whose said he will check out the Al Ghazal Club which is for QP Staff and he's a member there too...
Members are allowed to take in only two guests and tht's another problem....besides i heard as usual this place tends to get crowded quite quickly....
I am also goin to the Khalifa Tennis and Squash Complex today to check the scene there....do these guys coach u to play Squash....cuz they have lots of coaches to train people for tennis....
Will let u guys know more later.....goodluck!!!! phew!!
hey guys!!! your're losing sight of the our goal!!! we said if there are anybody out there who knows somebody...hhmmnnn..darude..better prepare your court for us or else.....!!!! you'll not only prepare the breakfast but all the meals as well lol!!!!
sentibhim,prepare your beer as well and you better be alive to do that...!!!
karin,Doha Club has only one court and its small compared to QBC,Im really running out of breath,hehhehe..shouting help to whoever could....
aarrgghhh,where to?where to? guys,we're shouting a LOUD HELP here!!!! lets all join forces and see what we could come up to....
keep on smiling!!!
"laakum deenukum wa liyyah deen"
Darude you have confidence to win ? i am still alive here lol

For a badminton match if u lose i take ur Dog or cat wateva you have. and if i lose i will let my Wolf attack ur pets.
Plz agree dont dis heart me :)
[img_assist|nid=21285|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=180|height=180]
for a badminton match if you loose you get me dinner (Jauntie) Lunch (Jass) and if i lose you both get me breakfast :D
[img_assist|nid=21285|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=180|height=180]
is there any court there in industrial area. im working in industrial area street 16.
plz. send your cell no.
i am also a member of industrial area st 32 badminton team lol
we play with big shafts and bots we use radiators in line as our net :D
[img_assist|nid=21285|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=180|height=180]
im a member in qatar badminton club, but last 3 month im playing another court. near sofital. i think qatar badminton club is the better place.
thats the main problem here...very few badminton courts! ive seen the badminton club as well 2-3 mos ago, and was surprised they have only 2 courts!
[img_assist|nid=21401|title=Adjust, Adopt & Overcome|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=180|height=135]
Oh my!!! Thats just too bad,we have to do something about it and let not these new found facts dishearten us in our "quest" to play to our heart's content.
Coolasice,have you asked around about the other possible venues? I guess if one of us has a friend in one of the compounds here maybe we kud ask them to secure a permission for us to play on their grounds/courts.If its a tennis court or a volleyball court we could convert it to badminton court,couldnt we?
Cmon guys,lets give it our best shot!!!
Anybody out there who has friends in one of the compounds???
Lets not lose heart..keep on smiling!!! Who knows,the solution may just be around the corner....
"laakum deenukum wa liyyah deen"
Visited this place last evening...sorry to say the plc is so poorly maintained....they have just two courts....one for members and one for outsiders....
they r not taking any forms for new comers as members anymore as their quota is full...the court for outsiders was packed last evening...n we just left after tht....
dissapointed guys....will have to take up playing tennis or squash if this does not work out....
well guys,I've played in Qatar Badminton Club this afternoon coz one of my friends dragged me there.It was fine but you only play one set and the rest follows in the same fashion.I've heard that if you are a newcomer to the place,you have to buy the shuttle from them plus QR 10 for the badminton social fee.
I really dunno how much do they sell the shuttlecocks.But the place is ok though it would have been better if the whole 3 sets will be played.
So what about it? Are you guys interested or what? Bcoz if you are,I would be going there this Saturday and if we could form a group enough for us to rent one court then it will be better for all of us.I'll try to inquire if its possible and Qatar Badminton Club is located near Qatar Decoration,just in case you want to know.
so let me know so I could proceed with the negotations if there will be one.
meanwhile,keep on smiling!!!!
P.s. I've posted my number in my previous post so feel free to call or send a message if you are interested.
rshinto,what's the latest news on your side? are you guys already playing or what?
as long as there won't be any conflict with my schedules...
I've been looking for a badminton group for quite sometime now. I used to play until about 10years ago. Count me in!!! Please let me know where and when?
Hi guys!!! I would also like to join though Im not that good,but used to play before.I guess practice will definitely improve my game,hope its ok.Is it already late for me join?Hope not!!!
In any case,my number is 654 7199.
Hi rshinto,
Good idea. May I join after I arrived in Qatar a month later. I used to play badminton well in high school but shifted to squash after I started working (lack of coworkers who played badminton).
My email address is [email protected]. Please count me in if possible.
Happy playing.
Think2
a little progress everyday adds up to big results
There are a couple of places near Doha College...all we need to do is to find availability of courts, our availabilities and plan and play thats all...
so about 3rd week the week after the next one...put up ur availabilities and then lets see...by then it cud cool down a tiny winy little...

Hey Rshinto....

pls lemme know as i'm really eager to play...cud also bring a couple of friends...
Just sent you a message... am keen to play
X
Good idea dear, I want to join your group. I am not a good player but try to give tough time in court. I used to play in Qtel club but my group is now busy and they are not having time to play.
Mu number is 5866130, let me know about the timing and the location. Most probably I will be there to have fun with you.
Regards
I'm interested.... also depending of the place and the time, but anyway ready to try once.
I used to play a little bit (but not in club), but I like this sport and I'm not too bad, as I used to play volley-ball for almost 20 years and badminton needs speed and observation of the other player as well
Regards
Follow The White Rabbit
Guys n Gals,
If you are serious about getting together to play ( shuttle cocks will be on my account on the first day ..) then either call me on 5804527 or leave your number in your reply so that I can call you.
regards
Challange me in that small court am sure will make you dance like hell running all over.
[img_assist|nid=21285|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=180|height=180]
i've played once at Doha College or Khallege (?)...but not for "game" purpose just for play (to sweat/some cardio...running after the shuttlecock..:P)..but am interested same as GG, if time and place suits me..:)
Rshinto where is this place? now dont tell me its in al khor or Wakra..I am not a great player...but am keen if the time and place suits me.
Count me in buddy...lets see what we can do with the GAME...
Cheers...
