WAs we round off another amazing tournament season, we are getting ready for something completely new… our very first Masters event.

This photo was taken at our very first event back in October 2025, and it feels fitting that we finish the season by trying something different once again.

At the moment we only have 14 entries, and realistically we need closer to 75 entries to fully cover the costs of running the weekend. If you have been thinking about entering, now is the time to do it!

A few things people may not realise:
• Entry is open to players from anywhere, as long as you are affiliated within your own country
• The age entry starts from just 30+ (singles and 60+ for combined ages).
• Singles and Mixed will take place on Saturday, with level doubles on Sunday.
• This will also be the FIRST event where we award GOLD medals to the winners and SILVER medals to the runners-up 🥇.

We have worked really hard to build fun, welcoming tournaments with plenty of badminton for everybody, whether you are experienced or trying something new for the first time.

Please support the event if you can, and even if you cannot play, a share of this post would genuinely help us massively ❤️.

Elgin 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Masters Training Day 🏸

What an incredible turnout for the Scottish Masters Training Day at Moray Sports Centre! It was a brilliant day of high-energy badminton, sharp tactics, and even sharper company.
We had 35 dedicated players on the courts over 2 sessions.

Elite Coaching:** A massive thank you to former Internationalists Bruce Flockhart and Kirsty Flockhart for leading the day.

The Grind: Five hours of intensive training focused on technical skills and tactical doubles play, wrapping up with high-octane multi-feed drills and match play.
🤝 The Spirit of the Game
The camaraderie and spirit shown by our Masters players were second to none. Whether it was a tactical masterclass or a hard-fought rally, the atmosphere was competitive yet incredibly supportive.

Thank you to everyone who supported this event and made it such a success. See you on the court

Calling all Players over 30!
Now you are "Masters" there is tournaments just for you and your sore joints...
This June, we’re doing something a bit different!
We’ve been running graded tournaments since 2019, and now we’re excited to launch Ayrshire’s first Combined Age Masters.
Masters, but with a twist!
Instead of traditional age groups where you have to “play down” to partner with someone younger, doubles entries will be based on your combined ages.
Simply add your ages together and enter the correct combined age group.
Singles will still be played in your own age group.
Planned format:
Saturday: Singles & Mixed Doubles
Sunday: Level Doubles
We’ve also opened entries to players aged 30+… because Ryan is nearly that old!
As always, we’ll have our highly regarded chilli and vegetarian curry available.
Any questions, please ask, and come join us for something new this June!
