  Hi everyone,

                  I am new here; I used to play badminton quite regularly about 8 years ago before I was married. Now my fly life is stabilized and I want to start playing again (btw I only 35yrs old not 60 )

   

  I started to train myself (footwork and fitness) and played some games with family and friends.  I live in Woodlands area and I am really interested playing with you guys.

   

  So my question, how do I determine my playing level? I don’t want to go down and ruin you guys’ game as I may be really bad. Hope someone can advise me on this, thank

  hi & welcome to avid shuttlers!

   

  as mentioned by bhlee, no worries abt ur level of play. just join us for a game or two and try to enjoy urself!

   

  it wld be helpful if u know the scoring system (both 21 & 15point) and that's about it. just bring ur own gears for the game & find out more! some of us may be able to advise where are the other badminton grps in wdls too after u join in the game!
