Badminton courts in Pune

How many places are there to play Badminton in Pune? I am looking to create a list of all places where courts are available on hire in Pune. A quick search yielded the following -

1. Balewadi Sports Complex
2. College of Engineering Pune
3. Happy Colony Community Hall
4. Heerabaug Sports Complex
5. Maharashtra Mandal Badminton Hall
6. Mahila Mandal Badminton Hall
7. Laxmi Krida Mandir
8. PDMBA
9. Deccan Gymkhana 
10. Poona Club
11. PYC
12. Modern Complex
13. Kataria High School

Let me know others that I have missed out. I would eventually like to add # of courts available at these locations along with their charges.

Buying Badminton shuttlecocks in Pune

Other than the Badminton racquet's, strings, shoes and apparel which are a one time or an occasional buy, the one thing you need to purchase on a regular basis is shuttles. These come in varying types (plastic or feather) and price ranges.

There must be over a couple hundred groups in Pune and each must at least need a box of shuttles a month or in a couple of months. That makes shuttles an ideal candidate to buy in bulk! What if all these groups consolidated their orders for shuttles and placed one big order? They could get a great deal due to the volume. Here is a site that lets you aggregate your individual orders into a large one - http://punebadminton.dyndns.info/

Try it out. Enter your order and share it with your friends/other groups you know so that one big consolidated order can be placed and everyone can save!

Badminton - Restart

After a long hiatus (read 13 years), I decided to restart playing Badminton last week. The first thing I did was search for a site which helped me connect with badminton groups in the area. There is unfortunately no site that lets people connect with each other to form sports groups and play. As the search on the net was unproductive I made a few calls and in a day I was set.

But that begs the question - Do we need a site where people can create sports groups, advertise vacancies or interest and connect with others to manage their sports groups?
