Eagle Stadium in Werribee is home to a wide range of indoor sports, from basketball and netball through to table tennis and and indoor soccer.

But on Tuesday mornings, it’s badminton, ladies badminton to be precise, that takes over the stadium’s shiny hardwood floor.

Run by the Werribee Badminton Association, ladies badminton is held at Eagle Stadium every Tuesday morning from 10am to 12.30pm, with women of all ages and abilities catered for.

When Star Weekly’s photographer visited on Tuesday March 5, several women were sending shuttlecocks flying over the net, with two doubles games taking place at once.

While Tuesday morning is the preserve of women’s badminton, Werribee Badminton Association runs other weekly competitions at the stadium for those who want to take up the sport.

Senior and junior badminton is held on Thursday night, with junior badminton competitions also taking place on Friday evenings.
