Singles vs Doubles vs Mixed: Which Badminton Format Is Right for You?
Breaking down the differences between singles, doubles, and mixed doubles badminton to help you find the right format.
Whether you're looking to get back into badminton, find a regular session, or organise your own sessions, this guide has everything you need to know about casual badminton in the UK.
What is Casual Badminton?
Casual badminton is all about getting together with other players for a session without the commitment of joining a formal league or club. It's flexible, social, and accessible to players of all abilities.
Most casual sessions are:
- social session
- pay-and-play
- league match
- tournament
- coaching session
The beauty of casual badminton is that it's organised by players, for players. You can turn up when it suits you, meet new people, and enjoy a session without the pressure of competitive leagues.
