One thing that I don’t like about tennis is that you can’t share courts. With badminton, 4 people can share a court however they want. If its 2 pairs, they can practice on each half of the court. If their skill levels are near the same, they can play doubles. If their levels are not the same, they can still play doubles with the better players adjusting their play to accommodate the weaker players and they can still have fun. With tennis, this is rarely possible.

Ever since I started playing in my early 20s during a family visit to South Asia(Bangladesh), where it’s very popular during winter periods and played out from dusk, out in the open, I fell in love with the sport and never stopped playing ever since. The reason they play from dusk is that that’s when its less windy. It’s amazing how they control the shuttlecock but with hardly any indoor courts, they don’t much choice and others can join in and they don’t have to pay for court hire!

After returning to London, I improved my game and playing regularly for the last 15 years! Badminton is played by more people in the UK than Squash or Tennis. It’s a shame they don’t show the sport on TV much.

I used to play badminton before and I can relate to this post! I agree that playing badminton can really give your body a total workout. In fact, I remembered playing badminton once in one of our intramural events, and boy did I sweat so much! Haha. Thanks for posting this entry. Your thoughts basically made me want to play badminton again.

Hey Kaushik,

I’ve heard that badminton is viewed that way in the US…I may have to take it upon myself to educate them on just how much of a mans sport it is! LOL

I loved playing badminton as a kid in Africa. In the US there isn’t much badminton. Badminton (like field hockey) strangely is considered a woman’s sport here.

Well I wouldn’t say it’s a poor sport. The chinese badminton players are treated like UK or US tennis players. It is popular and prestigious, just not as much in the UK or the West overall.

Of course, you would know that the reason why Badminton does not get the place that Cricket or Soccer gets is that it does not attract advertising money.

And thus our schools do not promote it either. There is no organized crime supporting Badminton, and Badminton remains so much poor for it !
