About Us
SOAS Badminton Society 🏸
Looking for a fun, active, and welcoming community at SOAS? Come join the SOAS Badminton Society! Whether you're a seasoned player or just picking up a racket for the first time, we’ve got a place for you.
Each week, we host:
-
1 social session – relaxed, beginner-friendly, and all about having fun
-
1 training session – for those who want to sharpen their skills
-
2 match sessions – to test our game and represent SOAS
We hold trials after Freshers’ Fayre, but don’t let the word scare you – they’re open to everyone, not just experienced players. We’re looking for more than just skill – attitude, enthusiasm, and team spirit matter just as much. If you show potential and a willingness to grow, we want you on the training squad!
Missed out or want another chance? We’ll be holding re-trials in Term 2, so there’s always an opportunity to get involved.
Membership is £65 for the whole year, covering all social sessions and training (if selected).
If you're not ready to commit to a membership just yet, you can still join our social sessions through the whatsapp groupchat - https://chat.whatsapp.com/Bx95C0iK5wE2acTvVhpEeL – perfect if you want to try things out first!
Our social sessions are beginner-friendly, and everyone’s welcome to come along, meet new people, and enjoy the game. We also run regular socials throughout the year – from team dinners to fun themed nights and community events.

We’re more than just a sports society – we’re a community. Come play, connect, and grow with us – Welcome to SOAS Badminton. 🏸
