About Us

Founded in 2004 by Pascal Zurn and a group of passionate players, BC OMS is a dynamic badminton club based on the outskirts of Geneva, Switzerland. The club is built around a shared enthusiasm for badminton and a simple idea: regular play, physical activity, and a welcoming community where players enjoy the sport together.


BC OMS is open to all, welcoming players with different levels of experience. Each season, the club accepts up to 50 members, with priority given to existing members and staff of the World Health Organization (WHO).

Training schedule & Location

Training sessions take place every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evening, excluding school holidays, at the Collège et École de Commerce André Chavanne in Petit Saconnex, just a short distance from WHO headquarters. Sessions typically include a warm up, technical drills, and match play, offering a good balance between improving skills and enjoying competitive games.
