Badminton is my favorite sport. I like to play badminton because it is fun and challenging. Badminton requires a person to react fast and make decision fast to win the game. I am constantly improving my skills in badminton.
Most of the time, I will play badminton at the backyard of my house with my father. Sometimes, I will go to the badminton court to play with my friends.
I think that I am a better player in double and I am not as good in single game.
Do you play badminton? Do you like it?

I do play badminton. Im not good at it though and I prefer to play informally. I mean there wouldnt be any strict rules, we can make up our rules as we go but the mainstay rule would be to get the shuttlecock across to the opponent without hitting the net. We used to have a rule to see who can whack the shuttlecock the highest and still be able to get it across. The court doesnt matter too.LOL!

I play badminton but now I seldom do, I really miss playing badminton. I'm good at doubles like you and I'm really bad at single game. You're right it will make you react fast and have decision fast to win the game. Plus the fact it help to loose some of weight and help to burn fat! My sister and I usually play badminton with my freinds or her friends or with our cousins but now, we are quite busy on our work and our schedules don't jive so we cant plan to play badminton.

aside from cycling i also fond of playing badminton. it's a good exercise because you're able to sweat much in that way you're burning a lot of fats in your body.

it was once a craze in my group before. we go to this badminton place and play as if like there's no tommorow. it started with a kid's toy, a badminton toy. we started playing outside the house and wanted more than a toy so we scheduled in this badminton place. we had fun. i just can't remember how it stopped happening..

When younger I played badminton with my colleagues twice a week. We usually played at a rented court in an old school boy association hall. We normally spent two hours there. We really felt relaxed after sweating a lot when the game was over. We enjoyed eating and chatting at a nearby food court after the game.

i like badminton too. i used to play it when i was in school.
actually, i think most, if not all sports promote fast reaction and quick thinking.
i used to play doubles too in school. however, now i play more than just badminton. i play a variety of sports such as basketball, soccer and rugby.
i also love to run. basically, i think keeping fit is important, and sports is a very good way to do so. Just don't get injured in the process

i was able to play badminton when my husband invite me to play with him. it's actually a good exercise because almost all of your body parts are moving. but my problem is i don't have the right timing in hitting the shuttlecock i always hit the air.lol. but maybe with regular practice i will able to hit the shuttlecock more.

I'm eighteen years old and i still play badminton. I like to play this sport because it's a sport that you can as a team. Sometimes my friends, cousins and myself we play badminton four against four. That's really exciting and sometimes it turns out to a bad moment because we tease each other and sometimes we get angry and leave the game or sometime there is fighting. But all this form part of the game and we have to accept it. The more we play the more we get experienced. We share most of the time good moments and that the importance of playing, everyone having a good time. Playing badminton is a good way of keeping the body in a healthy status. Badminton is a good sport that i like very much.

I love playing badminton but no one around here plays it so I don't play as often. I really get into the game so when I'm done playing it looks like I had just finished running a marathon.

I like playing badminton, every evening i would like to go with my friends to play badminton. and i think it is very exciting to enjoy the process. Having seen the 2008 Olympic held in Beijing , the Chinese players give a very good impresion on me. And i also think that it is good for my health, speed and alertess.

I love badminton as well. I was on the team when I was in high school. I havent had the opportunity to play in a while and I miss it so much. I'm better at singles than doubles. Alot of people dont realise that you dedication and quick thinking and fitness to play badminton well, they think its super easy. I had a friend of mine play one day and then he understood..lol. It's a great game. thanks for the question

I played badminton when I was in high school. I actually wasn't really too bad at it. I could whack a birdie pretty good. I didn't really ever play it outside of school. I don't think it is the type of game that most people randomly decide to play. I think that it gets thrown into volleyball sets so people think they are getting something great because you are getting another game, but most people don't really sit around thinking, "gee, you know a game of badminton would really hit the spot"! Kind of like bowling. Not to say that it isn't an enjoyable game to play, just not really addictive to most people.
