The club was created in 2012 by a small group of badminton enthusiasts, whose goal was to create a place where students can play and learn the sport while connect with their peers. As our club continues to grow, the demand for practice times, coaching and competition arise. Because of these needs, in 2014, our club was officially recognized as a sport club under George Mason University.

With this change, our mission also changes. We want to focus on introducing badminton as a competitive sport at Mason and provide members with the opportunity to train, improve their skills to participate in state competitions. We began bringing on-board volunteer coaches to help train the next generation of players. As a team, we have participated in many tournaments hosted by other colleges in the DMV area.

If anyone wants to learn more about our club, please don’t hesitate to keep in contact with our current board of officers! Happy smashing!
