New members
Yes, we accept anyone over the age of majority as a member of the club. For minors, only students in category A are admitted.
We accept all levels, but we strongly recommend that you master the basics of badminton to get the most out of all our playing sessions.
It is compulsory to attend a welcome session to join the club. During this session, we’ll explain how the club works. Former club members wishing to rejoin LUC are exempt from this session and can contact us directly using this form.
The cost of club membership depends on your status (student, doctoral student, employee, other, etc.). The different statuses are described here.
The club offers free play for all, free play for competition members, training for all and training for interclub members. The different ranges of play offered by the club are shown here.
As our facilities are dependent on the school and academic calendar, these times vary during the season and are always updated on this site. All playing areas are strictly reserved for club members. It is not possible to invite an outsider to these sessions.
Apart from shuttlecocks for training sessions, the club does not provide any other equipment. All members are required to bring their own non-marking shoes, racket and shuttlecocks.
Competition / Interclubs
Competition in Switzerland is organized around 2 distinct formats: tournaments and interclubs. Tournaments are one-off weekend competitions open to individuals, while interclubs take place within a team from September to April.
To compete in Switzerland (interclub or tournament), you need a license (120 CHF, in addition to the club membership fee).
A tournament license can be applied for at any time during the season, up to December 31. It does not, however, guarantee access to an interclub team.
Teams are formed at the beginning of the season (~July), but places may become available during the season. Due to very high demand for interclub teams, priority is given first to interclub members from the previous season, then to club members from the previous season, then to newcomers.
Exceptions may be made for people with previous competitive badminton experience. If this applies to you, please contact us using this form.
