Frequently Asked Questions

When will Smash Champs be open?

Due to some recent setbacks, our new plan is a staggered opening:

Pro Shop – Now Open!
Group Lessons with ClearOne – Now Available for Registration!
Badminton Drop-ins – Register Online!
Memberships – Coming Q1 2025
Member Exclusive Amenities – Coming Q1 2025
All 14 Badminton Courts – Coming Q1 2025

Please note that all timelines provided are tentative and subject to change without notice, so please stay tuned to our Facebook or News page for weekly updates!

Why is opening delayed?

We’ve encountered what we believe to be a manufacturing defect with the floors. We have worked out a temporary solution with our supplier to scuff up the faulty surface layer to improve its grippiness while we wait for BWF Certified Victor Mats to arrive. Once that is complete in Q1 2025 will we be ready to fully open.

What kind of club is Smash Champs?

Every journey starts somewhere and at the beginning Smash Champs is going to differentiate itself with its convenient location just East of the Port Mann bridge and competition-class facilities.

In the longer-term, our goal is to create a badminton club that is more than just a place to play. Through our pro shop, exclusive member services, and community events, we aim to turn Smash Champs into the center of your badminton life.

Members? Do I need a Membership?

We will offer a healthy range of membership options as low as $7.50/year for kids to $30/year for adults.

Members will be allowed to book court rentals, sign-up for drop-in play, participate in our ladders, and will be eligible for members-only deals in our pro shop.

To get the most out of Smash Champs, we recommend our Premium Membership. This will include unlimited* drop-in and ladder play, access to our Fitness Gym and Members Only areas, and 24/7 access to the badminton courts.

*Subject to court schedule and availability

Why did you choose a Membership model?

A world class facility doesn’t come cheap, and membership dues will contribute the funds we need to continue to invest in new benefits for our community.

A membership model also allows us to maintain our high standards for player conduct and fairness in play. Arguments, cheating, facility damage, and other undesirable behavior will result in a suspension, to ensure that we can maintain a positive atmosphere for our members.

What kind of programs and activities will Smash Champs offer?

Our game plan is to slowly roll out an exciting roster of activities. To start, we’re bringing back a classic that has gone out of style in many other facilities since COVID – Drop-in Badminton. In the longer term, we aspire to bring you affordable senior, student, and family drop ins, as well as social and competitive ladders, and tournaments too!
