Our mission is to cultivate a passion for badminton and promote excellence within the Woodbridge community and the Greater Toronto Area. By offering state-of-the-art facilities, a top-tier coaching team, high-quality programs, flexible playing hours, a fair and modern management system, a welcoming environment, and a professional pro-shop, we consistently strive to elevate the sport at every level. We are dedicated to supporting our players and coaches in reaching their full potential.
We are situated in the affluent area of Woodbridge, a thriving suburb in Vaughan, Ontario, Canada. Strategically located in close proximity to Toronto, Richmond Hill, Markham, Mississauga, and Brampton, our club enjoys easy access to Highway 400 and the major route HWY7. Within a 10-minute drive from our club, you can reach the Vaughan subway terminal, offering direct access to downtown Toronto and York University.
The surrounding community is not only picturesque and secure but also boasts numerous world-class dining options, shopping centers, supermarkets, and hotels. Additionally, we are conveniently located near renowned attractions such as Wonderland amusement park and the shopping haven Vaughan Mills. Elite Badminton is the ideal choice for both long-term badminton training and holiday retreats.
Court Elasticity: The purpose of sports is to promote physical health, and injury prevention is our club's primary concern. In the process of learning badminton, the high demands of frequent running and jumping necessitate excellent court quality. We prioritize the well-being of our students, introducing professional-grade sports elastic flooring from a reputable German brand, complemented by best quality BWF certified world championship level badminton courts. This significantly reduces joint impact, benefiting badminton enthusiasts and those engaged in extended training, greatly minimizing the risk of sports injuries.
Temperature, Lighting, and Ventilation: Maintaining a consistent temperature throughout the year, bright lighting, and brand new state-of-the-art ventilation contribute to enhancing the quality of play and the comfort of social interactions.
Number of Courts: A club with multiple courts provides more practice opportunities and flexible booking times.

The remarkable achievements of our players stand as a testament to our commitment to achieving excellence at all levels of the sport.
Ensure that the club has outstanding students as learning role models, as this is crucial for boosting students' learning motivation and technical proficiency. At ELITE BADMINTON, international player Kevin Yang serves as such an example.

He also played up competed in the U17 Boys' singles, reaching the top 8 great results. Kevin received unanimous praise from coaches during his training in Malaysia, Thailand, and Taiwan over the summer. Additionally, Kevin achieved a full-season Grand Slam championship in U15 singles for the 2022-2023 season in Canada. Kevin trains with students at the club at least four days a week, contributing to the team's maximum progress. This exemplary effect inspires each member, raising the overall skill level.
