Manhattan Beach Badminton Club

Let’s shed some light on what offside is all about.

🏸 Please Help Save Women’s Badminton at El Camino College 🏸

Many of our MBBC members have strong ties to the ECC Women’s Badminton program. Current team member Anya Gore is one of our club members, and longtime MBBC member John Britton served as ECC’s Women’s Badminton head coach for more than 20 years before his passing three years ago. David stepped in to continue John’s legacy.

Last year, ECC eliminated both Women’s Tennis and Women’s Badminton due to budget cuts. David has spent over a year fighting for these athletes, leading to an OCR investigation into possible Title IX violations. As a result, ECC reinstated Women’s Tennis on April 30—but Women’s Badminton has still not been restored.

David isn’t giving up, and neither should we.

Please take a moment to sign and share the petition to help bring back Women’s Badminton at ECC and preserve opportunities for future student-athletes.
