New this year is that there are no longer Level 1 and Level 2, but instead levels A, B, and C.
Level Structure in the Club
Level C – Beginner Level This level is for players who mainly train to have fun. Most players in this group want to play matches during practice, and there is little focus on development and technique. Anyone can be placed at this level, including completely new players. There will be no coach-led sessions at Level C – the focus is on play, well-being, and enjoyment.
Level B – Intermediate Level This level is for players who have not learned everything yet but want to develop and improve. Any player with a desire to get better can be placed here. At Level B, more structured training is introduced, including exercises such as:
Feeding
Different types of shots
Shot variation
Doubles rotations
Here, play and training are combined to build skills.
Level A – Advanced Level This level is for the most experienced players in the club. Players at this level have a good understanding of feeding, master doubles play at a solid level, and can vary their shots effectively. Extra focus is placed on:
When and how different shots should be used
The difference between doubles and singles play
More intensive training
Doubles play is prioritized, as this is what is mostly used during training sessions.
Advancement and Assessment The coaches ultimately decide whether players should be moved up a level, as they have the best overview of the differences in playing level. It is always possible to contact the head of sports to ask what is required in order to be promoted to the next level.
Note: Everyone who was in Level 1 last semester will be placed in Level A. The same applies to Level 2—everyone will be placed in Level B (For players who want to develop, participate in tournaments, and actively contribute to the club). If you do not wish to be in Level B and would prefer to be moved to Level C, that is of course completely fine. In that case, please send a message to Martin Østensen.
All levels have the opportunity to take part in all social events that are organized.
To get access to the Spond group, you must have paid:
Membership fee: NOK 100
Training fee: NOK 400
Level C: Pays only the membership fee of NOK 100
Level A + B: Pays membership fee of NOK 100 + training fee of NOK 400 = NOK 500 total
More information regarding this change can be found in the minutes from the Extraordinary General Meeting 2025, which are available here:
You will get access to the Spond group after the payment has been made and verified. This may take a couple of days. All information about the new semester will be posted in the new Spond group.

What a night! When the Norwegian Badminton Association announced funding for girls’ gatherings, we applied – and got support! Of course, that had to be celebrated with training, fruit, smoothies, and a fun social evening with pizza afterwards 🍕💚
We kicked off the day at Dragvoll with a joint girls’ training session full of laughter and play. After a quick get-to-know-each-other round, we moved on to dodgeball, king’s court, and mixed-level doubles matches so everyone could play together regardless of experience. The atmosphere was amazing from start to finish – and the energy stayed high thanks to fresh fruit and smoothies!
After training, we all went to UMEUS, where the pizza was waiting. We played icebreaker games and small activities, and several stayed behind to play board games afterwards. A truly lovely evening!
The feedback was fantastic – several participants suggested making this a regular event. We couldn’t agree more 💚
A big thank-you to NBF for the support – and to all the girls who made the evening so great. Next gathering? Hopefully soon! 😉
At the beginner’s course, 3 badminton players from NTNUI will introduce you to basic techniques and give you the opportunity to experience the joy of playing badminton! No prior skills are required to participate, and we have rackets available for borrowing🏸 More information can be found in the registration form. Other questions can be directed to me (Nora) on Spond💚
This year marked a historic May 17th for NTNUI Badminton – we officially participated in the Constitution Day parade in Trondheim for the very first time! It was incredibly fun to celebrate Norway’s national day together with the rest of the NTNUI family and showcase our love for the sport to the whole city. 🎉
A special thanks goes to our dedicated member, Sara Buvik, who spent an impressive 50 hours creating our amazing banner! 🧵🎨 Thanks to this incredible effort, we were able to march in the parade with pride and color.
We hope this marks the beginning of a new tradition – we’re already looking forward to next year! 💚

The first team won the 1st Division in the Central Norwegian Badminton Region and thereby qualified for the promotion round for the Elite Series in Sandefjord. They faced Klemetsrud and Sandefjord. By defeating Klemetsrud, they secured a spot in next year’s Elite Series. Although NTNUI Badminton has won the 1st Division many times and participated in the promotion round for the Elite Series on several occasions, they have not played in the Elite Series since 2012. This is a major achievement, and NTNUI Badminton is excited to compete in the Elite Series next year!

A large group of 23 players traveled to Bergen from February 27th to March 2nd to compete in the Student-NM for students, organized by Bergen Badminton Club’s student sports team (BSI).
Players from all over Norway came to participate in the tournament, ranging from beginners to national team players. Everyone played many matches and got to compete against opponents of all levels.
Most of the players from NTNUI Badminton stayed together at a hostel we booked through Airbnb, making the trip super social.
On Friday evening, there was a quiz and social gathering with participants from other clubs, and on Saturday, everyone dressed up for the banquet. We enjoyed great food, entertainment, and music, and the medals were also awarded.
The weekend was an amazing experience for everyone. We had a fantastic time socially and gained valuable match experience to bring home with us.
Here is a summary of the results from the weekend: We had several players who made it to the quarterfinals, and many close matches!
