Have a hit and get fit with Craigieburn badminton

Craigieburn Ladies Badminton Club president Erin Bithell has been hard at work raising the profile of a little-recognised sport.

“We’ve updated our Facebook page, created flyers and recently got a grant from Bendigo Bank for new tops,” Bithell said.

“On top of that, two teams from our club played the annual Atalanta Jamboree, which Ballarat hosted recently.”

Players hit the courts at Craigieburn Leisure Centre from 9.30am-noon every Thursday and the club is keen to build up numbers to improve the competition.

“It’s a great way to socialise, be part of the community, get fit,” Bithell said.

Potential new members are invited to the club’s Christmas break-up party on December 12 and an open day on February 6 when they can try the sport.
