2025 Never Give Up Series

We are RisingStars Infinite, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in Northern California, dedicated to providing more sparring opportunities for young players. Since 2023, we’ve been hosting monthly mini-tournaments, and we are thrilled to see the growth of the badminton community, with the ORC now becoming a 600+ entry event!

However, due to the scale and complexity, most ORC draws are now in an elimination format, without consolation rounds. To give young players, especially those traveling from afar, more opportunities to compete, we are introducing the Never Give Up Series.

This mini tournament offers the opportunity to play more matches, practice with non-local teammate, and even try out new partner, all while spectating the ORC semi-finals and finals on the third day.
