A Family-Run Business Servicing Phoenix and the West Valley
Operated by the Ching family, who share a love of competitive badminton, we started Sunset Badminton to offer racket stringing, training, shuttles & rackets for west-valley badminton players! We’re passionate about competitive badminton and can’t wait to share that passion with you!
With years of badminton-specific racket stringing experience, you can trust us to consult and string your racket perfectly. Coach Ching is one of the few US-based ERSA Certified Master Professional Stringers. We string with a professional constant-tension machine for exceptional results.
We offer team-oriented group training to players in the NW Valley. Leveraging multiple 6-court gyms, we can train all skill levels in both singles and doubles play. Weekly competitive training includes conditioning, skill development, strategy, feeder drills, and play.
From shuttles to rackets to shoes to grips and bags, we're your quick and easy badminton accessory supplier. We are official retailers of Victor, Ashaway, RSL Shuttles, and the Humidome. What we don't carry, we can special order. We have demo rackets that you can try before you buy!
