Calpe Badminton Club is one of the oldest badminton clubs in the Marina Alta area. It was formed back in 1991, and for twenty years has offered competitive, fun badminton to all nationalities in the area.
Calpe Badminton Club currently plays every Monday and Thursday morning between 9am and 11.30am at the Pabellón de Deportes, Avda País Valencia, Calpe (the road where the Rastro is held on Wednesdays). We play with feather shuttles to the latest IBF rules, and have up to six courts available at each session. Calpe Badminton Club is a very friendly association integrated into the local community and with an active social programme. Last year the club continued its tradition of support for the local community with a donation to the Maite Boronat Centre in Calpe - a charity which it has supported for a number of years. And off court, club members mix and have a great time too. What with Christmas dinner dances, picnics, quiz lunches and paella parties all in all there always seems to be something going on. However, badminton is what brings us all together and we take it fairly seriously too. Affiliated to the Valencian Badminton Federation, Calpe members often take part in local and Federation competitions and for a real challenge some members have even competed in National Veterans competitions and occasionally even win cups and trophies, keeping the club’s name well known in the Valencian badminton fraternity. If you are a regular badminton player looking to join a local club then do get in touch. Or, if you haven't played before, but would like to learn - on Thursdays we host the Calpe U3A badminton group, so this might be the place to start. You just need to join the Calpe U3A first. Whilst the club is based in Calpe, our members come from Javea to Albir (and all points in between). The main langage of the club is English, but we also have Spanish, German, Dutch and Belgian members. The common language is badminton! For more information contact Karen on 965876166 or at
