Frequently asked questions
New to EMC? Start here.
Do I need to be good at badminton?
No. We're a social club for beginners and intermediate players. None of our members compete at regional or national level – we play for fun and exercise.
Can I try before I join?
Yes – you get 3 free trial sessions. Arrange them by email or with one of the board members.
What should I bring?
Indoor sports shoes with non-marking soles (required), comfortable sportswear and a water bottle. Bring a racket if you have one.
I don't have a racket. Can I borrow one?
Just ask when you arrive – members usually have a spare they're happy to lend.
Do I need to buy shuttles?
No. The club provides feather shuttles for all sessions.
Can my children join?
Yes, from age 5. Children join with a parent who is a member, and parents look after their own children during sessions. On Fridays 18:30–20:00 there is coached kids' training (extra fee).
Who counts as a child member?
Everyone under 16.
Do I have to speak Danish?
No. Most of our members speak English day to day, and everyone living in Denmark is welcome.
Is there training during school holidays?
It depends – some holiday sessions go ahead and some are cancelled. Always check the calendar before you come.
How do members stay in touch?
Members are added to our members-only WhatsApp group after joining. Everyone can follow our public Facebook page.
