BVA Youth Group

Internal tournament

In December we organize the ABBA tournament, where players of different levels form a team for an evening to promote cohesion within BVA. In addition, we also have one internal club championship at the end of the season. Fun tournaments are held approximately every two months, such as the TOS tournament, the ABBA Team Challenge and others.

Federal competition

Federal Competition (The Federal Competition) is the senior competition of Badminton Netherlands. The Federal Competition is played in the period September to January, with the exception of the Honorary and First Divisions; these continue until February. A distinction is made between a Mixed competition and Men's competition. In a mixed competition, at least 2 women and 2 men play per match. And for the Men's competition, at least 4 men play per match. In a mixed competition the following games are played: 2 mixed, 1 Men's doubles, 1 Women's doubles, 2 Men's singles and 2 Women's singles. For the Men's competition it is less complex and 4 different combinations of Men's doubles and 4 singles games are played.

BVA has put together teams to participate in the federal competition for regional competitions. We currently have 6 teams that play competitions, namely 3 mixed teams and 3 men's teams. The levels range from the 7th division to the 5th division. Substitutes for the different teams are always welcome, please contact our competition leader. If you would like to participate in the association competition, you can contact our competition leader.

Our home games are played in the same hall where we train, on Sundays from 12:30 PM to 4:00 PM. We offer training specifically for competitive players.

Registration process

  • March-April: we collect players’ preferences.
  • April-May: we build teams so that all players can ideally participate and be satisfied with their placement.
The goal is to make a realistic estimate of the number of teams and their levels. We believe it takes time for players to get used to each other and encourage them to form partnerships that last longer than a year.

Spring Competition
