Hi TF members, I am in initial stages to plan to setup a recurring revenue stream, that could be also something that I love to do, like playing badminton. Nowadays courts are full and these emerging apps like playo and many others are a toast to the court owners. Hourly charges start from â‚ą400 upwards to â‚ą600 based on the demand.

  • If one has the land, has anyone explored options for setting up a fully synthetic or wooden court ?
  • What would be the expense required to set it up ?
  • Does it require any government permissions ?
  • What would be the maintenance costs / year ?

Firstly the place should be decided , then should approach the badminton association of that area and take their approval , and as per the international badminton rules the court should be construed.

These are some basic and starting process

Why approval of badminton association is required? IMO, it should be required for professional players. For recreational players it should not be required.

You are right, here in TN if we need to get approval, it's going to be costing alot of bribe to get it done, so I'd rather not

Normally the players need the minimum requirements to play , if not the players who play on daily basis can’t play at best . And there are mixed players who book their game , so the business flow gets cut down .

Absolutely. Facility could be world class. It need not have any approval from local association that's my point.

The local association is like local mafia , if permission not opted , then can create ruckus around . That’s my point .
 
Planning to start a badminton court? Select a prime location, provide ample space for standard courts, and invest in quality flooring, lighting, and equipment. Make sure that there is adequate ventilation and seating for spectators. Provide coaching and memberships in order to attract players. Social media and local communities can be used to promote your court.

I will share one example of college days, few friends found a vacant plot, they initiated process for owner's permission cleaning and other work, later they start upgrading lighting and all, in the process many new different age groups people started joining. Within a year it got so popular, that professional matches got started in the so called Badminton Court.

Financial I don't know much, but found everyone more than happy.
The first time I entered, I don't have any racket etc, later watching, playing, became daily routine and enjoyed a lot.

Still Missing that overall Atmosphere.
 
That's a great idea! Starting a badminton court can be a fun and profitable venture, especially if there's a demand for sports facilities in your area. Here’s a quick guide to help you plan:

  1. Location & Space: Find a location that's easily accessible and has enough space for multiple courts. A standard badminton court is about 20ft by 44ft (for doubles), so you’ll need ample space, potentially for multiple courts.
  2. Facility Design: Decide whether you want to build an indoor or outdoor court. Indoor courts are more expensive but offer year-round usage, while outdoor courts might have lower initial costs but could be weather-dependent. Ensure proper flooring (wood or synthetic for indoor courts), lighting, and ventilation if indoors.
  3. Equipment & Amenities: Invest in good-quality nets, rackets, shuttlecocks, and scoreboards. Also, consider adding amenities like seating, locker rooms, restrooms, a small café or snack area, and a shop for badminton gear.
  4. Permits & Legal Requirements: Research any local regulations or permits you might need to run a sports facility. This could include zoning laws, business permits, and health & safety requirements.
  5. Pricing & Membership: Decide how you will charge customers – by the hour, through memberships, or both. Offering membership packages or group discounts might attract regular players.
  6. Marketing: To attract customers, you’ll need a marketing plan. Use social media, local events, partnerships with schools or fitness centers, and word-of-mouth to promote your court. Offering introductory lessons or tournaments can also generate interest.
  7. Staffing & Management: Depending on the scale, you might need staff to manage bookings, maintain the facility, and possibly teach badminton lessons. You can also consider hiring a coach for lessons or organizing events.
