OT: Badminton Anyone?

[quote=scaredycat]… what sport can I set up on y lawn this summer to engage my kids and get them ready for the olympics in another decade or so….the answer might be BADMINTON![/quote]

Badminton is a very physical sport… The US Badminton Olympics team is unfortunately being outsourced (just like my job) to the Southeast Asian countries. Here is the list of the US players which won a major tournament last time:

here is the list of all US Badminton players (mostly foreign born):

The training system and competition and in those countries is just very intense and the Top Badminton Players have status of the soccer star in Europe or NFL football player in the US. Thus most their best athletes choose to play Badminton.

Croquet would be another good game for the farm. It is old fashioned, but it is fun for all ages.

Howard Bach can hardly be considered outsourced. He grew up in SF since he was 2. Badminton is decently popular in California. So it wasn’t too surprising that Howard grew up in SF. If you go to high school badminton tournaments in Cali, you’ll see that most of the players are Asian.
