Summer Break

Thanks for joining us this successful 2022-2023 full season. We now take a break and enjoy the great outdoors our long summer days offer.

There were 84 people joining us this season. We are glad to see many of our new friends returned as regulars. We look forward to see everyone again as we resume on September 12. We have secured 23 dates at Georges Vanier in the fall/winter term; and the spring term dates will be released later this fall. We will post the calendar the first week of September.

In the meantime, there is a great selection of summer sports and activities offered by our friends in the LGBTQ+ community:

Have a great summer and see you in September!

39th Western Cup

Apollo Badminton is proud to support the 39th Western Cup, and we are giving away swag and prizes in celebration of this annual event.

Pick up your complimentary single drop-in pass at each Western Cup event night while supply lasts. These event nights will be the Thursday night Registration, Friday night Athlete Social, and Saturday night Western Cup Dance. All Western Cup events will take place at the Hyatt Regency Calgary — the host hotel.

In addition, at the Athlete Social on Friday night, you’ll have a chance to win two badminton prize packs as part of the raffle draw.

See the Western Cup website for event details.

Not involved with the Western Cup tournament? Western Cup events are open to all, not only to the athletes. So come on out and enjoy the festivities!

Happy Western Cup!

Apollo Badminton is proud to ring in the 21st Century by finally opening an online store!

You can now buy drop-in session and prepaid packages at our online store in advance, anytime! No more fumbling for cash or credit card when you arrive. An even better news, there is no shipping fee! Simply come Tuesday and we’ll confirm your online purchase, and we’ll mark off your attendance and if required, issue you a punch pass. It’s that simple!

We also welcome online donation if you so desire.

The purchase link is now conveniently located on our site’s landing page. Simply click on the shopping cart icon to head to our Square site to make your purchase.

With that said given all this e-commerce “innovations” we have been implementing in the recent years, our preferred payment method is still cash, which we still very much encourage. 😉

Until next Tuesday, happy smashing and happy clicking,
