Important Information about Thursday night badminton at OSS

It was great to see another good turnout at Thursday night badminton last night at OSS.

Since this is the first year we have a permit for Orillia Secondary School, please read the following important information about our responsibilities as guests of the facility.

Our permit is from 8:15pm to 10:00pm on Thursday evenings. The doors at the front of the school will be unlocked 10-15 minutes before the permit start time and locked 10-15 minutes after the permit start time. The doors to the school are to remain locked at all other times for security reasons. We are responsible for vacating the school by 10:00pm which means that all play should be finished by 9:50pm.
Our permit is only for the 6 courts in the large gym. Please DO NOT use any of the courts in the small gym at any time since we do not have a permit for their use. It is a liability issue for the Orillia Badminton Club and may result in our permit being revoked.
A small private club has a permit for the courts in the small gym from 7-9pm on Thursdays, and that is why you may see some people (including some Orillia Badminton Club members that belong to that club as well) playing on those courts until 9pm. After 9pm, no badminton should be played on the courts in the small gym by anyone.
Any members under the age of 18 years must wear eye protection while playing. This is a requirement of our permit and our insurance.
No outdoor shoes are allowed in the gym. Please put your indoor shoes on once you are inside the school, so we do not dirty or damage the floor.
When coming off or going on courts please be very careful not to interfere with play on other courts for the safety of everyone.
Please be polite and respectful to all custodial staff. They do a wonderful job and have great influence over whether a club is granted future permits.

Inclusive Play
The Orillia Badminton Club has a policy of fair, fun, and inclusive play. Everyone should feel welcome and comfortable, regardless of skill level. To achieve this, please adhere to the following guidelines as best as possible.
Avoid playing consecutive games with the same people. Try to play with as many different people as possible during the evening regardless of skill level. The club does not support dividing members into different skill levels.
Avoid using the same court for the evening. Some of the courts have better lighting, or cleaner lines on the floor, so everyone should have the opportunity to play on the more “preferred” courts at some point during the evening.

10/12/2025

Please note there is no badminton at OSS on Thursday September 25.

Other Thursdays with no badminton are:

December 25
January 1
March 19

School doors will be open 10-15 minutes before our permit start time (8:15 pm) to10-15 minutes after. Also no badminton on snow days.
