ABOUT DTBA

DTBA is a voluntary sports association incorporated in 1986 under the Associations Incorporation Act 1981 and updated under the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012, with its own Rules of Association.

Management is by a group of committee members elected each year during its Annual General Meeting.

DTBA’s purposes (as expressed in our Rules of Association) are:

• To promote badminton as part of a healthy and active lifestyle within our Community.

• To support and encourage members of all ages to enjoy and improve their badminton skills.

 

MEMBERSHIP/FACILITIES

• Total membership varies around 600 mark, including junior members. We do consider applications for new members each year, usually between March to June, after existing members have renewed their annual membership. However, due to limited badminton courts (6), we have to cap our membership numbers at this level each year. Currently there is a long waiting list of applicants which means we cannot assure when an applicant will be accepted as a member.

• Players must meet all Club membership entry criteria, e.g. player skill levels, that may determine the outcome of your application. Our decision is final. 

• We provide daily social playing sessions for members from Monday to Sunday, usually at night. For details please click here. We also provide for Members Only in-house competitions. We do allow casual players (non-members) meeting our Players requirements, to try out our facility but only in those sessions which may be less busy, e.g. second sessions on Tuesday and Thursday nights, Saturday afternoon. Please call 03 9840 2063 (during session times) to enquire… as circumstances may change, where casual members can participate

• All social sessions are managed by a supervisor who organizes the games. Please note that the Supervisor’s first instance is to consider DTBA Members playing rights and has authority to refuse Play to any Non Members. Anyone wanting to know more about this aspect can call our supervisor when the social sessions are on, to enquire further. Do note that priority is always given to our members.

 

SUNDAY COURT HIRE

• Sunday is the only day where courts are available for hire, to members and non-members. Please send your query to Court Hire.

• Courts are rented out by the hour, from 11am to 6pm. Please contact the supervisor regarding court fees, availability, etc.
