• In general, please sign up early (e.g. at least 3 or 4 days before session start) especially if you know for sure you will play at our Monroeville gym and Pisa gym sessions, so the session coordinator can make a good pre-estimate of how many courts are needed each session.  That will help us to retain continuous access to both gyms during each year.

• In general, if you notice any missing/broken equipment, please notify the session coordinator.

• We highly recommend to reuse playable shuttles (e.g. less than 2 broken feathers with stable flight trajectory), in order to minimize trash/waste. After each session ends please put such back into the shuttle bin instead of trashing such shuttles.

• If you are interested in starting to play in the Cranberry Twp/Warrendale/Wexford area, please let Thierry know.

• The new state-of-the-art gym (with professional badminton floor mats) is now in our Greater Pittsburgh area, and is called the LevelUp Pickleball Club.  Its membership registration for badminton players can be accessed at: https://www.leveluppickleballclub.com   The brand new venue completed in November 2025, includes the very first professional badminton shop in our Pittsburgh region.

• Big thank you to Torsten for making his private tools / workshop available to build quality/sturdy badminton net poles in our Pittsburgh area.  The unique American/European-designed wood poles are produced with expert craftsmanship.
