ShuttleScots LGBTQ+ Badminton Club

ShuttleScots LGBTQ+ Badminton Club provides a structured, inclusive community for LGBTQ+ players and allies in Edinburgh. Based out of the rebuilt Meadowbank Sports Centre on London Road, the club hosts regular weekly social doubles sessions across multiple indoor courts. Players compete on sprung timber flooring designed for joint protection and reliable footwork, complemented by high-lux, anti-glare LED sports lighting that ensures clean visibility throughout every rally. The format focuses on timed rotational doubles, pairing players across varying skill bands to keep games competitive yet social. Off the court, the club organises regular social gatherings and participates in national and international LGBTQ+ tournaments. Sessions typically require advance booking online through the club's sign-up portal to manage numbers and guarantee court time for all attendees.
