Somwanshi said she “struggled to find a facility that would support her and her kids’ passion for badminton.” She met Ankitha Joshi and both realized the issue wasn’t just the availability of a facility, but also “the challenge of supporting their children’s will to follow their passion.” This led them to open Rally Sports Club at 1155 Boundary Rd., Unit 6, Oshawa. It’s just south of Wentworth Street and west of Thornton Road South.
