Club members are automatically members of the Badminton Association of England and are eligible to play in the Shropshire League. We have men's, ladies and mixed badminton teams entered every year in several divisions.

The league secretaries maintain the league tables which we publish here so that you can see how teams are doing.

The number of teams is dependent on the number of people who express an interest in playing in a team when asked at the beginning of the season. The numbers actually who play throughout the season may also vary so a number of players willing to play as reserves are also sought.

Each team is typically made up of 4 people (the mixed can be more) and plays 6 rubbers per match. Each rubber is the best of 3 games. A league point is awarded for each rubber won so there is always an incentive. A draw (3 rubbers each) gains an extra point and a win 2 extra points.  Typically the top 2 teams in a division earn promotion and the bottom 2 suffer relegation.

One delicacy from the rulebook says that a player from a "lower" team can only play in a "higher" team as a substitute once ... except when playing "up" in the first division where you can do it twice (presumably because they play more matches). Breaking this rule means the player in question becomes "team-tied" and can no longer play for the "lower" team ... usually to the consternation of the rest of the team!

If a team fails to turn up for a fixture then they are relegated by 2 divisions.
