The Masters Vets and Super Vets Representative Programme

Masters Vets and Super Vets is one of the fastest growing areas in the sport of badminton which is a testimony to the health and fitness of our senior players.  Auckland Masters Badminton promotes the "Kiwi Culture" of "Sport for Life".  Teams compete against other Associations and the competition is run by Badminton NZ and coordinated nationwide.  It is both social and highly competitive with a range of levels and grades

 

Masters is a very social and interactive environment and this year there is more reason to get involved as we celebrate some fantastic history and achievements over the past 50 years on the Anniversary of the Auckland Badminton Hall.  In addition there are some great tournaments kicking off with the Auckland Masters on the 28th of August.  We also are very talented with some top players that have excelled at international level (see the World Masters results in 2009)

 

Re Unite With Friends At Some Special Events This Year.

 

(From the World Masters last year in 2009

 

Auckland Masters -  August 28th - a great event that is both social and competitive and good practice for the NZ Masters later in the year.

 

50th Anniversary. - Sept 10th and 11th - celebrations include a re union dinner (Sept 11th) with some fun events taking us back to when Auckland included sub associations who are now associations in their own right. 

 

 NZ Masters Championships - October 14th to 17th is the final big event for the year.  No matter what your level this event has something for you and like the Auckland Masters is a great way to both have a great time and have good competition at your level. 

 

Regular Leagues. 

Masters reps play in Inter Association Division ties all around the North Island to see who is the best in the North Island and NZ.   You can follow these results through the Badminton NZ site maintained by the extremely hard working and talented Mr Ray Walbridge (Ray has developed a number of extensive databases and tools for Badminton over the years including Tourny a great data resource used by Associations). Inter Association Results.
