Badminton

President: Nathan Su ([email protected])

Trevelyan College Badminton mainly holds its session in the JKH, the hall opposite the college, where students of mixed abilities come together to play. There are activities for everyone, from casual games like “around the world” to more competitive 21 Point matches. For the more committed players, we hold training sessions at either Maiden Castle or Freeman’s Quay and play in the top league for college badminton. There are also other opportunities to play competitively, like in the festival of sports at the end of a year which is a tournament against other colleges. If you are interested, please join the Facebook group “Trevelyan College Badminton” and come to some of the sessions to get a taste of the club.

At Trevelyan we have a full basketball court on the back lawn which means independent training is available. Even if you’ve never tried basketball in your life, meet us at the Fresher’s Fair and give it a go, we are more than happy to show you the ropes.
