I’m
very excited to
be involved in the development of the National Badminton
League throughout
North America. The league structure is ideal for exposing
badminton
to all ages and abilities.
Eventually, I want to see NBL leagues played in hundreds of
cities and towns. Helping to increase the popularity
of this great sport will
be one of my most satisfying achievements.

Anyone can form a team!
Follow these six easy steps to form a team:
-
Find Players: A minimum of
three players are required for a team. For mixed teams, a
minimum of two males and two females are required. Individuals
looking for teams to play on, and teams looking for players, may
post messages on the League Finder.
-
Find a Facility: For your home
matches, you will need a facility that has one or two regulation
badminton courts. All D-level leagues have the option of
playing outdoors. Your team will need approximately two hours
of court time to complete a match at your home facility.
-
Determine Playing Days and Times: Decide
on the preferred playing day(s) and preferred playing
time(s) for your weekly match. Please try to be flexible and
choose more than one preferred playing day.
-
Select a Team Name: Select a team name.
-
Select a Team Captain: Select a team
captain who will be responsible for posting match results online
after each home match. For junior leagues, it is recommended
that an adult be the team captain.
-
Once your team has completed Steps
1-5, have your Team Captain contact the NBL
with the following information: Team Name, Division, Name and
Address of Home Facility, and Preferred Playing Day(s).
Your team captain will be given a team number, which you will
use during the player registration process.

Please note:
- There are registration periods for each
season. For the Spring Season, team captains and the minimum
number of players must register during the month of January.
For the Fall Season, team captains and the minimum number of players must register
during the month of July.
- When captains from two or more
teams (same division, same
district) have contacted the NBL and received their team numbers, player registration
will begin. NBL will contact team captains to let
them know that player registration may begin.
- Once players have registered, NBL
will publish the league schedule (available by selecting
RailStation at top of page).
- Additional players beyond the
minimum required may register at any time during
the season.
- All participants in State Playoffs, State/Province
Playoffs and NBL Championships must have played in at least two
regular season matches.
