We’re excited to welcome new players to Nottingham Dropshots. Whether you’re picking up a racket for the first time, returning after years away, or looking for a friendly LGBTQ+ community to play with.
Our sessions are open to LGBTQ+ people and allies, and we create a safe, supportive and inclusive space for everyone.
Your First Session is Free
Trying us out is easy. Your first session is completely free, so you can meet the team, get a feel for the club, and enjoy some relaxed badminton.
If you don’t have a racket yet, we can lend you one. Just let us know when you sign up.
