Badminton
1: State of mind
Any remarks that do not respect sportsmanship, that is insulting, sexist or racist will be punished with a single warning, and will be followed by an immediate and permanent expulsion.
2: Equipment
All players must wear indoor sport shoes with soles of rubber or similar high-grip, non-marking materials (to keep the gym clean). Winter boots are not allowed in the gym. Players are responsible for their own racket and shuttles (possibility of borrowing equipment to help someone out and to play on a trial basis).
3: Installations
Members must be respectful of all installations available to them (courts, nets, etc.).
4: Singles and Doubles
Doubles are given priority except if there are available courts. In such a case, members will be able to play single games.
5: Managing the Courts
A rotation board will be set up in order to allow every member to play badminton fairly. A rotation is therefore mandatory after every game. No member or group of members is allowed to take over a court for an evening or part of an evening.
6: Scoring System
The international 21 points scoring system will be enforced. Members will play 21 points games and will then leave the court to get back in line in order to rotate. When necessary, the person in charge will be allowed to switch to 15 points games to give everyone a chance to play.
7: Liabilities
The club is not responsible for any theft or loss of personal belongings.
8: Trial Period
Anyone will be able to tryout during the regular badminton games. If the person is interested in joining the club, they must pay the membership fare and fill out the registration file. During the trial period, any incident will be covered by the person’s personal insurance.

Any repeated violation of the rules, freely accepted by the club member, will be the responsibility of the person at fault. They will first get a warning, and, if necessary, will be expelled (temporarily, then definitively) with or without refund.
10: Refund Policy
Refund requests will only be accepted within the first two weeks of subscription of the current season. After this date, no refund request will be accepted for the season other than for medical reason. In such an even, medical proof must be provided. Once the request has been analysed, there is a 30 days delay before a refund check is received. All refund requests must be processed by email.

New component – The Laurendeau-Dunton Leisure Day Camp considers that every child has the right to have fun! For this reason, this year we are pleased to welcome a limited number of children with special needs (ADHD, asperger’s syndrome, autism spectrum disorder, etc.). An individualized or small approach group will be offered by passionate and trained instructors to accompany this clientele. A partnership with AlterGo, an organization that promotes universal accessibility, has made this new adventure possible! Their support and expertise with this clientele will supervise the instructors as well as the children.
We hope that this first experience turns out to be educational and pleasant. The collaboration of the parents is precious to us. The Laurendeau-Dunton Leisure Day Camp takes its mission to heart by providing a safe and supportive environment for your children.
We hope to see you in great numbers and we wish you a sunny and warm summer!
