Badminton is one of the few sports where men and women play
together. It is a game for all ages and abilities, and
although fitness is a key aspect for professional players, it is
not a prerequisite for taking up the sport. These factors
make it the ideal sport for families and friends of all walks of
life to play together. It can also be a wonderful way to meet
new friends through local clubs and sports centres.
After s0ccer, badminton is the world's most popular sport (I
read this somewhere. I can't validate this claim, but... I'll
go along with it!). It is most popular in south-east Asia,
where many children learn to play badminton at school. It is
also the fastest racket sport in the world - the shuttle
reach speeds in excess of 200km/hr.
It's a fantastic sport, why not give it a try - one billion
people can't be wrong!
