Why play badminton?
Badminton is the world’s fastest sport – the shuttle has been clocked at 306mph (493kph)! It is also the UK’s most popular racket sport and has millions playing every year worldwide. It is a technical sport that explores speed changes, reaction times, good motor coordination and endurance challenges. Furthermore, at high levels of play, the sport demands excellent fitness: players require aerobic stamina, agility, strength, speed, precision and the development of slick racket skills.
Almost everyday there is an opportunity to play badminton through sessions that Kirsty runs.
