Sports Badminton

any badminton players out there or enjoy badminton. Badminton is not that big in Canada but there are teams in high schools. Do you join teams or join clubs of anything? I'm planning to join my school's badminton and i take classes at places with real badminton courts not community center places.

 

I like it. I even have a the whole set up. Not up because winter is coming right now. I played it first in High School and then at a friends house. We play just for fun.

 

I have played it at school for gym classes we didn't have any teams now I play it for fun when I get a chance

 

great game, played it during ROTC when we had P.T. I haven't played it in a while.

 

Heh the only big thing around here is football... I am told that people far and wide know of 'Bama'. I imagine that most of the people around here have no clue what badminton is.
I like badminton. I learned it in middle school.

 

I signed up for the badminton club at university today... yet to play, but one of my favourite sports. Played it weekly at my old school. Great fun although I havn't really mastered the flicks yet.

I'd cosider myself a decent rallier.

Ah Badmiton. Pretty much like tennis!, but not as hard... I guess I've played Badmiton a few times in gym class at school, if that counts. I find it relaxing.

 

Played professional badminton for 5 years or so. You know, clubs and all that. I have played in some tournaments, and the highest achievement was when I won the School District Championsship. Some 20-isch players, and I finished first.

Had a really good time when I played, and coach said I had good potential.

Then I twisted my ankle, and never got back to my "perfect" form again

Although, I do miss the sport alot, so I might head back to the club and become a coach for the little kiddies or so...

But yeah, I miss it.

For those who wonder...my gear:

Yonex Isometric-75MF Light
Yonex Armortec-800
Victor AL-2500


Both Yonex rackets were modified with BG-85 strings, with a gauge level 20. While the Victor one had one with BG-83 strings.

 

My God.... I never knew that Badmitton required so much complicated stuff. I'll never look at it the same.

 

Every sport has it's complicated stuff

Of course. Except for Rugby. You know, just throw an over-sized football around and hit people. My kinda game...

 

Well, not REALLY that. You need alot of skills to handle those bulldogs coming towards you...

Quiet frankly, all sports have their complicated ingredients.

 

I have a racket that came with this set I bought for 25 bucks. There are few games in in there actually. Obviosly the rackets are not as good as Teddz but they still work.

It seams liks sports have become complicated. They are adding to many rules and to many special equipment. Tag. All you need is a few people and a person to be it. Easyest sport out there. If golf is a sport then tag is a sport. At some point I think Nike will come out with the Tag Shoe.
