Key Information

Badminton is the fastest racquet sport in the World and can be played by two or four players at a time. The game is played on a rectangular court divided by a net and the aim of the game is to get the shuttlecock to land on your opponent’s side of the net. The key skills required for it are fast reflexes and good hand-eye coordination.
