Badminton
The CISVA Badminton competition is a wonderful opportunity for students to represent their school communities and to develop an appreciation for the sport of Badminton. Our league play is for boys and girls in Grades 6 & 7 in three separate divisions of Singles, Doubles, and Mixed Doubles.
Traditionally, participating schools have been divided into 3 zones. Qualifying Tournaments are held for students in each zone and the top 4 players/teams in each division (ie. Gr. 6 girls singles) advance to the CISVA finals tournaments. Once schools have registered their participation, the zones will be finalized as will the dates, times and locations for the Zone Qualifying Tournaments.
