WHERE TO PLAY BADMINTON IN THE UNITED STATES

Places to play with organized clubs and other groups in the United States

FOREWARD

The sport of badminton is currently the second most popular
spectator sport in the world behind soccer.  Although badminton's
popularity is increasing in the United States, it still pales in
comparison to sports like football, basketball, and baseball. 
One of the biggest problems for badminton enthusiasts is simply
finding a consistent place to play.  Badminton is in constant
competition with sports such as basketball, wrestling, and
volleyball for gym time.  If more consistent playing locations
could be found, I believe more people would play and enjoy the
sport of badminton.  This is the main reasoning behind the
creation of the USBA's national Where to Play Badminton Guide. 
With this publication, badminton players across the country will
be able to see where and when badminton is being played from
Maine to Hawaii.  It is my hope that this publication will be a
valuable reference for USBA members to use when traveling,
moving, or just looking for a new place to play.
