Our story

Vancouver's home for racquets sports.

Vancouver Racquets Club was founded in 1953 by a small group of badminton and squash enthusiasts who wanted a place to play, train, and gather year-round. More than 70 years later, that founding spirit still defines us.

VRC is a non-profit club. Decisions are made by members, for the long-term health of the club. We're not chasing trends — we're investing in courts, coaches, and a community that lasts generations.

Today, VRC welcomes hundreds of members across squash, badminton, and fitness — from juniors picking up their first racquet to nationally ranked competitors.

What we stand for

The values that have kept us strong for 70+ years.

01 — Community

Members at the centre.

The VRC’s community is built and held up by its members. Every dollar reinvested goes back into the club — better courts, better coaches, better experiences.

02 — Inclusion

Every level is welcome.

Beginners, juniors, social players, and competitors share the same floor. Find a partner, a clinic, or a ladder that fits your game.

03 — Excellence

Coaches who actually coach.

Our resident pros are certified, experienced, and genuinely invested in your progress — whether you're starting out or chasing rankings.

04 — Longevity

Built for the long game.

From sauna and steam to physiotherapy and chiropractic care, we look after the whole athlete — so you can keep playing for years.
