Who Are We
We are a badminton club with a mix of competitive and passionate badminton players based in Garforth. We are a friendly club open to players of a club standard who wish to play badminton on club nights and also have the opportunity to play competitively in our leagues.
We currently have 6 teams in 2 different leagues and are always looking for new players to join the club. If you have played club badminton before, please get in touch with us and we can give you more information.
Where We Play
We are currently playing at Garforth Leisure Centre in the recently refurbished badminton courts. It has now been transformed into a premier centre for Badminton as a result of a £120,000 investment from England Badminton alongside funding from Leeds City Council.
The room is purpose-built for badminton with 5 courts and is the highest quality centre in the Leeds district area. The flooring and the lights are perfect for badminton and is a brilliant place for us to have our club nights.
When We Play
Our club nights take place every Monday from 8 pm to 10 pm at Garforth Leisure Centre. This is a dedicated club night with 5 courts. We have between 25-35 members weekly of a high level turning up to play badminton.
We also participate in the Leeds and Castleford district leagues. We all play all our competitive home matches at the Lock Lane Sports Centre in Castleford from 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm every Friday. We have 4 courts, which are usually full most weeks with 2 home games.
Our Leagues
We currently have 6 teams playing in 3 different leagues. We have 4 Men's Teams playing in 3 different divisions. We also have 1 Mixed team and 1 Castelford league team. Check out our league positions below.
Last season, our A team got promoted out of Division 2 by winning the league and will play this season in Division 1. Our men's B team also got promoted from Division 4 into Division 3, just like our A team; they will play in a higher division than last year (Division 3).
Our men's C team remains in Division 5 but has a new set of players ready to go and try to get promoted out of Division 5. Similarly, our newly created D team, who are the members of last year's C team, will be looking to get promoted into Division 4 this year after a strong season last year.
The Leeds District mixed doubles league consists of 3 divisions with either 8 or 9 teams in each. Currently, Garforth Pendas only have 1 mixed team who sit in division 2.
We are always on the lookout for new players, especially females, to join our mixed team so we can create more and stronger teams.
The Castleford district doubles league consists of 3 divisions with either 6 or 7 teams. Currently, Garforth PBC has only 1 team in Division 1 of the Castleford league. But we are looking to expand in the future.
The Castleford division games consist of 3 men and 3 women in several partnerships. Each player will play mixed and level doubles games with a total of 3 games each the same as in any other match.
