Who are Flaming Feathers, and why should I join you?
Flaming Feathers is a Dublin based LGBTQ+ amateur Badminton Club. We play badminton both socially and competitively, and welcome players of all levels to our ranks. During league season we run regular training for both beginners and more advanced players, and our members are a mix of skill levels, ages, and genders.
While most of our members identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community we also welcome allies of all kinds to join us and enjoy playing badminton with us. Our players compete in DDLC (Dublin District Leagues & Cups) run events, local badminton tournaments, and internationally. We also know how to have a good time, and organise regular social events for our members to bond, grow, and spread the love of badminton among our community.
What can you expect from us?
Inclusive and Accepting Environment
Flaming Feathers provides a safe and open space for members of the LGBTQ+ community and their allies to participate in badminton, free from discrimination and judgment. We also know how to have fun!
Diverse and Supportive Community
Join a community that celebrates diversity and supports individuals of all ages, genders, races, and sexual orientations. Flaming Feathers fosters a sense of belonging and encourages friendships both on and off the court.
Badminton games which are accessible to All Skill Levels
Flaming Feathers welcomes both beginners and experienced badminton players. Our club offers a supportive environment where everyone can improve their badminton skills and enjoy the sport at their own pace.
How can you get involved?
The "regular" badminton year starts in September and runs through until April. Right now, we're in the summer season, so we play twice per week:
- Social Sessions run on Sundays in Swan Leisure in Rathmines from 14:30 to 16:30, usually followed by drinks in Blackbird in Rathmines.
- For Summer 2025, we are running one midweek session in Trinity College Sports Centre every Wednesday from 20:00 until 22:00. This is in addition to our sessions on Sundays. All are welcome.
