About KBA
The home ground for Kanpur's badminton community
Kanpur Badminton Association (KBA) is the recognised district body for badminton in Kanpur, affiliated to the U.P. Badminton Association and registered under the Societies Act, 1860.
We run the Kanpur Badminton Academy at Ragendra Swarup Sports Stadium, Lakhanpur, coach players from Under-13 through to seniors, and organise the city's ranking tournaments — including the Cosco Kanpur District Badminton Championship.
Whether you are a parent looking for coaching, a player chasing a district ranking, or a sponsor backing the next generation — this is where Kanpur badminton starts.
Serve it. Smash it. Win it. Love it.
