Squash and badminton players

Hiya,

I'm going to be in Berlin for a few months and wandered whether anyone was interested in hooking up for a few games of squash / badminton in the Prenzlauer Berg / Mitte / Orianburger Str areas of Berlin. I'm an ok player but certainly nothing special but always enjoy a good game and hit aorund?

Daniel J

Hey Daniel,

Let me know when you are around.

Cheers, Camille

cheers

Hey, i'm in for squash also! I'm ok i guess.. not that flash but not too bad.

Camille, you up for a hit next week?

Oliver

Cheers, Martin

Hey Martin,l are you free tonight or next week for a game?

I'd love to join a Badminton roundup. Sundays in Mauer Park? or any time, really.

helloo! i'm up for badminton too! is anything going ahead?

Hey

Are people up for doubles Wednesday (23.Apr.2008) at sport oase about 8pm?

Still to be confirmed

we have 2 players, so 2 more welcome!

I got to Berlin about a month ago and have been looking for a squash partner... would love to play.

Let me know if anyone is interested.

I normally play badminton at the Tib sports centre (near Templehof) on Friday evenings from 7pm till 11pm (we're looking for more people to join us if anyone's interested!) but I could really do with more exercise so I'd definitely be up for playing another night (not Tuesdays).

Anyone interested?

Cheers
Mark

P.S. I play badminton & squash with a slight preference for badminton. I'd say I'm competent but far from exceptional at both sports.

Hi all

I just realized we have a badminton racquet in the flat - haven't played since high school but I'm available to play if there's a spot.

Dave

hey all !!

I am relatively new to these postings...would love to meet up a few of you for badminton ... i play tennis as well !! so just drop me a line if anyone is game in the coming weeks !!

Hi!
I would love a game of badminton any evening or on a weekend. I used to play a lot but am now really unhealthy and unfit! I am in Friedrichshain. Say if you'd like to organise a game!

Hey looks like we have a bunch of squash players in the area. I am also looking for a partner so if any of you are interested let me know. I am a good player.

cheers
Dani

I have been here since February, and still havent found a Squash partner.
I am an ok player, would love to knock a squash ball around with you guys.

Hi,

I am looking for a few people to start a regular squash and/or badminton sessions. I live in Charlottenburg, but am willing to travel a reasonable distance depending on the quality of facilities available and pricing.

I am not a beginner, but am not a good player either. I play to keep fit rather than to compete.

Also, if anyone has suggestions for venues and advice on pricing/booking procedures, please feel free to comment.

Please reply to this post if you are interested.

gday,

it sounds like i'm in the same category as u.
i'm not a newbie to squash, but i wont be playing competition any time soon either.

i played pretty regular for a few years but havent played in a while.

i'm in the mitte/kreuzburg area, so i'm pretty central. any place around would be good.
i'll keep a eye on the post if any one else wants to try and get fit

Hi there,

Seem like there are tons of squash playerd around. I am moving to Berlin in two weeks and would love t also meet for a few games.

Hey someone send me an email if they want to play d.warshager@sportme.de
Dani

I don't want to procrastinate (I feel really unfit!), so I am good to go if only one other person can agree on a time and date for now. We'll take it from there.

TIME
I can basically play anytime during the day before 5pm (I work nights Sun to Thurs), except on Tuesday. My preference is for weekdays (once we start to play regularly), but for now I do not mind weekends if I am not travelling.

VENUE
I propose we start with somewhere in or around Mitte. Any suggestions?

Jade

Might be interested to play badminton... I would need to buy a racket since I didn't bring one here.

I'm also not exceptionnal, but I can play.

I would prefer weekdays in the evening.

Two of us had a session of squash on Friday evening at City-Sports in Mitte. Lots of sweat and a good workout to resume my planned 'healthy and fit' lifestyle. However, more players are welcome.

Also, I am looking to get a group together for regular short hikes (from 2 hours to full day) in and around Berlin during the weekends. Please PM me if you are interested. I'll start a new thread if necessary.

Jade

hey let me know in advance the next time you play and I will arrange to play as well.

Cheers
dani

Allo allo, i'd love to get a squash partner as well. Have not played in ages but wana keep fit and try to lose a couple of pounds . I need to get a racket though. So any idea where is good to go squash racket shopping?

Hi,

I will call tomorrow to book a court. Should we book for 2 sessions (1.5 hours total)?

Jade

Hi Jade,

Sounds good. Another possibility is to book 2 courts. This way we can change players more often and everyone can play everyone without any downtime.

either way works for me but if we have 2 courts than we get no rest in between matches!

I'm with Daniwar. I prefer one court if there are only four of us. My old bones and heart needs the rest.

Jade

One court it is then

I have made reservation for squash as follows;

Venue: Sport Oase (U9 Turmstraße)
Date: Friday, 8 August
Time: 7.15 pm (90 minutes)
Court #6 (under Laura)

See you there.

shammy,

if u want to get a racket, i was looking at karstadt sport earlier for when i eventually
break mine. i am a racket killer.

the karstadt sport in kudamm has a couple for sale. ranging from 25 to 100 euro.
and there is one in nuekoelln as well.

Hello,

Another friend of mine will join us. I hope that is ok.

Hi there!
Anyone want game'o'badders sometime soon? Over the weekend or next week would suit me!

I am quite a good player but extreeemly unfit!

Jade I am going to steal your method it seemed very effective so...

So it looks like the group is growing - maybe now we should consider getting 2 courts...

Dani

If everyone is confirmed they are playing and will be on time, I will change it to 2 courts (if available) @ 45 mins. I will check the board again after lunch.

I am also interested, let me know if you manage to move it to two courts.

thx

Mrbobke

I am confirmed

Dani

Confirmed.
