Badminton and Pickleball Pickup
Come on your own. Badminton and pickleball pickup sessions across Taipei & New Taipei, from today — pick a slot and sign up online. Beginners welcome.
Tell me when new sessions open
New sessions are usually confirmed only a few days ahead, and the popular slots fill within a day or two. Leave your email and we'll send you the new ones — no need to keep checking back.
What this group is like
Pickup sessions differ in the courts, the shuttles, and whether anyone looks after the people who just walked in. Here's how we run ours.
Central Taipei, by the MRT
Our courts sit in central Taipei, so you can come straight from work on the MRT instead of hunting for parking. The halls are air-conditioned — small things, but they decide whether you'll want to come back every week.
Beginner-friendly, first-timer trial rate may apply
Beginner-friendly isn't just a word here: we pair you up and keep the rotation balanced, so you're never left standing around all night. First-timers may get a trial rate, limited spots — message us for your personal sign-up link and the discount is applied automatically.

Yonex AS-20 shuttles for badminton nights
Tournament-grade shuttles at around NT$1,400 a tube — stable flight, and they last. When one goes off, we swap it. Playing on a dead shuttle throws every drop off target and drags the whole night down. Pickleball sessions run on different gear — message us before signing up and we'll tell you how that session is set up.
Play, then eat — and there's a ride
Plenty of nights end with the whole group heading out for food together. If you need a lift, we meet in the Eastern District 30 minutes before start time and drive over together — seats are limited, so message us to claim one.
Coming as a pair? Message us — there may be a surprise deal
Coming alone is completely fine, but bringing a friend is even better — someone to chat with between games, and you'll both play a lot more freely. Message us if you're coming as a pair or want a whole session for your group: there may be a surprise rate for you.
Ask about the pair dealFAQ
Can I join on my own? Is it awkward without a partner?
Yes — most people show up alone. That's the whole point of a pickup session: we put solo players together and rotate doubles on court, so you'll always have someone to play with.
Are beginners welcome?
Absolutely. Sessions are about rallies and having fun, not competition. If it's your first time, a quick look at grip, serve and footwork will help you settle into the rotation.
Badminton for beginnersI've never played pickleball — can I still join a pickleball session?
Yes. Pickleball has simpler rules than badminton or tennis and the court is small, so most people find the rhythm within the first fifteen minutes. We run through the rules before the rotation starts. If you'd like to know what the game looks like first, read our beginner's guide.
Pickleball beginner's guideWhat should I bring? Do I need to bring shuttles?
A racket, clean indoor court shoes (no outdoor soles on the court), a change of clothes and water. We provide the shuttles for badminton sessions. Gear for pickleball sessions varies — if you don't have a paddle, message us before you sign up and we'll tell you how that session is set up.
What does the fee cover?
The fee covers the court and the shuttles used that night. The exact amount for each session is shown on that session's sign-up page.
How do I sign up? Does it count before I pay?
Tap “Sign Up” on the session you want, enter a nickname and pay online. Your nickname appears on that session's list once payment goes through — only then is your spot reserved.
Can I get a refund if I can't make it?
Fees are non-refundable once paid; the full terms are on the sign-up page and you'll confirm them before paying. If something comes up, please message us as early as you can.
Where exactly are the sessions held?
The table above only shows the general area. The exact location (which gym, which floor, which courts) and where to meet aren't published on the site — please message us and we'll tell you how to get there. Feel free to ask before you sign up.
