Badminton


Today we had someone from Badminton Southland come to teach us badminton skills.


Did you know?
  • badminton is the 4th most popular sport in the world
  • you use rackets and shuttles
  • it is an indoor sport
  • the shuttle has a cork covered with goat skin at its base. This is the bit you hit with the racket.
  • the shuttle has 16 goose feathers above the cork
  • it takes feathers from 8 geese to make one shuttle
  • a shuttle can travel at 420km/hr.
