グループの特徴
TG Badminton Club regularly organizes casual badminton sessions for various level players on weeknights and weekends at some indoor gyms in the central Tokyo area. About 70% of the members are foreigners and about 30% are Japanese. We normally play doubles but sometimes singles, too, depending on the no. of players that will show up on the day.
Badminton schedule will be posted on the website and will be sent by email, too.
Reservation is strictly required to control the number of players.
