Club Information
Organizational Structure
The club's primary objective is to facilitate recreational fitness activities for its members
while fostering a strong sense of community spirit.
Currently, the club does not possess its own physical badminton court facility. To address
this challenge, we are committed to sourcing suitable infrastructure within our
community, such as basketball gyms in fitness clubs, gymnasiums in public schools, and
various pickleball facilities. In many instances, the club will provide its own equipment
and resources to establish playable court systems in these rented facilities, ensuring
accessibility for all members.
Recognizing the magnitude of the endeavor, the board of directors is actively involved in
these efforts, contributing their time and expertise to ensure the success of our shared
venture.
Membership Criteria:
At present, the club is exclusively accepting adult members aged 20 and above. This
restriction is necessitated by the insurance coverage procured for the club, as well as to
mitigate potential legal responsibilities and liabilities.
Looking ahead, there is a proactive anticipation that the club's resources may become
accessible to players in the 6-20 age group. However, this expansion will only occur
following comprehensive assessment and adherence to all requisite paperwork and safety
protocols mandated by law.
Furthermore, the club is committed to ensuring that any future inclusion of younger
members is accompanied by appropriate supervision and safety measures to safeguard
their well-being and uphold the club's standards of excellence in recreational activities.
Financial Information
The club's financial operations will be sustained through the collection of annual or
monthly dues from its members. These dues will serve to cover a range of expenses
including, but not limited to, the procurement of equipment (fixed costs), rental of
facilities (operating costs), compensation for club officers' time and transportation, and
shipping costs associated with the acquisition of essential resources and merchandise for
the club's activities.
The annual budget for the club is set at $45,000, calculated based on the following
parameters:
It is anticipated that this annual budget will remain consistent for at least the next two
years. This stability provides a foundation for effective financial planning and resource
allocation to ensure the continued sustainability and growth of the club's operations.
The club currently possesses the following assets for its utilization:
1. Net System with Poles and Weight Bases designed for deployment across four
distinct courts.
2. Marking System tailored for floor application, specifically intended for gym
facilities available for rent.
3. Measuring devices utilized to ensure precise adherence to regulation size
standards.
4. Reserve Badminton Racquets and Shuttlecocks.
5. Assorted hardware items essential for the setup process.
Looking ahead, the club recognizes the importance of expanding accessibility and
outreach to the broader public. Plans are underway to explore the implementation of
digital platforms, such as a dedicated web portal, mobile application, or Google Form, to
streamline the registration process and enable interested individuals to express their
interest in joining the club.
As these digital solutions are developed and implemented, the club remains committed to
maintaining a welcoming and inclusive environment, where individuals of all ages and
backgrounds can come together to enjoy recreational activities, foster friendships, and
contribute to the vibrant community spirit we cherish.
We are pleased to provide a copy of our club's General Liability Insurance Policy as an
attachment to our Form 1024 application for 501(c)(7) tax-exempt status. This insurance
policy is a vital component of our risk management strategy, providing protection against
claims of bodily injury, property damage, personal injury, and other liabilities arising
from club activities.
The policy details coverage limits, exclusions, and other pertinent terms and conditions,
demonstrating our commitment to safeguarding the interests of our members, volunteers,
guests, and the community at large. By maintaining comprehensive general liability
insurance, we aim to ensure the financial security and stability of our club while
upholding the highest standards of safety and accountability.
