All you need is a pair of indoor shoes and a water bottle! If you're new to the community, you don't have to go out and spend money on rackets/shuttles on your first day. Antigonish Badminton offers introductory equipment for use during our playtimes.
​
If you DO want your own equipment, we can help you get the right gear for you! We have many participants who can offer excellent advice and resources to make sure that you get what you need.
