[07/15/21]   Per BPAC: As of July 19th we will be reopening but under the same temporary hours. We will resume having open play volleyball on Wednesday evenings, so there will no longer be club badminton but we will have open courts from 3-5pm.

Hi SDBC Club Members:

Your 2019 -2020 membership is extended to expire on August 31, 2021 to compensate for the lost play time due to Covid. BPAC will reopen starting June 15, 2021. We are required to provide the City with a signup sheet for each day in addition to certain Covid rules - please see the attached notice from the City. SDBC BoD is working on the process so please be patient with us. We plan to have a table outside BPAC and hope to have member volunteers staffing the table for signups of that day. Please let us know if you can help by posting a message here or email: [email protected]. Please see BPAC hours of operation below and let us know when you can work the table (preferably 2+ hours each time).

Tuesday 11am-9pm
Wednesday 3pm-9pm
Thursday 11am-9pm
Friday 12-8pm
Saturday 9am-3pm

(Monday, Sunday, closed)

If you come to play, please work with the volunteer at the table so everyone can have a pleasant experience. Let us work together to make the reopening a smooth one!

Thanks and see you soon.

[06/15/21]   Good news - BPAC is open for both open and SDBC club play June 15, 2021!
(More details in a separate post.)

[06/20/20]   Hi players: unfortunately there is still no prospect of BPAC opening soon. Per Center Director:

“There is no set date for BPAC to reopen. Our facility has remained completely shut down since March 16, 2020.

There is a rumor that our BPAC facility is going to be used as a homeless shelter. At this time, this is NOT true.”

Hang in there. Stay active and healthy!

[06/16/20]   Hi Players: we regret that the city has not provided any information about the re-opening date of BPAC. We will continue to request updates from the city and will post any news here as soon as we have them.

Interesting postgraduate opportunity to explore in U.K. as a badminton player graduating college: https://www.facebook.com/NCAA.AND.NAIA.ATHLETES.STUDY.ABROAD/

The Guimond Vukovic Group provides NCAA and NAIA athletes with postgraduate opportunities to earn Master's degrees and play sport in the U.K.

[04/02/20]   BPAC will remain closed until at least May 1. Stay safe and as active as you can manage.

Per BPAC “Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, recreation centers, pools, and parks will remain closed until at least Friday, May 1, 2020 in accordance with guidance from the County of San Diego. This supersedes the previous reopening date of April 6.”

[03/14/20]   Per BPAC: Due to the COVID 19 situation, the Balboa Park Activity Center and all other City of San Diego recreation centers will be closed from March 16 through April 6th. The April 6th date is subject to change to a later date pending state wide restrictions. So for the time being, no club or open play badminton at Balboa Park until further notice. Please do not go down to the gymnasium because no one will be allowed inside. All questions can be answered by calling the Balboa Park Activity Center at 619-235-5997 starting Monday through Friday from from 9am to 430pm. Apologizes to all effected. Stay safe.

Day 2. A Event Finals start at 11am. WD, MD, WS, MS, XD. Don’t miss!
