Getting a licence
A licence is needed to play official badminton competitions in the Netherlands.
Players join via a club affiliated to Badminton Nederland; clubs themselves apply by emailing info@badminton.nl and registering with the Chamber of Commerce, model bylaws and board details, after which individual members are enrolled through the federation's member-management system. Membership is required to take part in competitions and tournaments, but the specific price list is on a separate page not read within budget.
