Veteran Badminton Tournament


16th January - 22nd January 2026
The tournament will start on the Monday and take place over 2-3 mornings or/and afternoons depending on the number of competitors.
To take advantage of all activities, we would ask that you sign up for the event before arriving at Club La Santa, so we have time to make the seeding and tournament plan. The programme with training hours will be handed out upon arrival. Games will be played in all categories (mens/ladies singles, mens/ladies doubles and mixed doubles). We will make the tournament plan according to level rather than age.
The tournaments are held according to the pool, cup or ”double knock out” system (depending on the number of participants in each category).
Shuttlecocks, t-shirts and prizes for the tournament are kindly sponsored by RSL Shuttlecocks.
As in previous years, it will be possible to practice in the badminton hall during the days before the tournament.

From time to time, there are not enough participants in an event to ensure that everyone can enjoy a good experience, in which case we reserve the right to cancel. This happens rarely and should this occur you would be refunded the full amount of the event. Places are limited, early booking is advisable to avoid disappointment. Please note that the camp is restricted to guests staying at Club La Santa.
*Please note that the age limit for this event is 40+.
