It is recommended that serious badminton players buy:

• Badminton Racket. The rackets provided by the ARC are for recreational use and are of poor quality.
• Shoes. Good court shoes will help you move and stop effectively while minimizing the chance of injury.
• Feather Birdies. While the club provides birdies during club hours, you will want to get birds for use during informal hours.
• Bag. You will also want to get a racket bag to carry your racket and other badminton gear in.
