NBS

What is NBS?

NBS is social badminton in Melbourne’s west, at PeakPlay Badminton Centre in Laverton North – handy for players from Point Cook, Werribee, Altona and nearby, from passionate beginners to advanced.

Private & social – a group of friends who love badminton, not a club or business.
Run by volunteers – organised for fun in our own time.
At cost – everyone shares the court and shuttle cost for the time they play. Nobody makes money.

Weekly Private Socials 📅

Flexible play ⏱️

Flexible play: come for as long as suits you, from 1 hour up to the full session, in half-hour steps. That’s up to 3 hours on Mondays and Fridays, and up to 2 hours on Wednesdays.

The cost is shared and worked out after each session. You only pay for the time you play – roughly $17–$19 for 2 hours, as a guide.

Play at your own pace, warm up, and look after each other. 💚

Held at PeakPlay Badminton Centre, 50E Cherry Lane, Laverton North – same venue as our weekly nights.

Tournaments are for NBS regulars: play at least 4 sessions (any days, any weeks) in the 60 days before the tournament date. Bring a friend along and they can qualify too!
