Badminton The Great Equalizer

I love playing badminton! It is it is a wonderful sport, it gets your heart beating fast, it is exciting, and above all else it is fair. It doesn’t matter how strong you are, it doesn’t matter how fast you swing, it doesn’t even matter how big you are. It is truly the great equalizer  sport. This year, in addition to the skills and rally games we have played in the past, our older students will be spend some time focusing on the official rules and scoring. They will be doing this by playing both singles, and mixed doubles tournaments. In second and third grade we will focus heavily on the rally and skill games, getting our skills up to peak competitive levels. Our Kindergarten and First Grade friends will be learning how to control a floating object. Since they are not quite ready for badminton, and all the equipment that accompanies it, we will be using balloons to experiment with. I really am excited to share this fantastic sport with your children.
