PhotoHunt - Sports

My kids have always been a sports fan especially badminton. They have started playing badminton when they were old enough or strong enough to swing the rackets. Their passion for badminton came from my husband who trained them to play the sports from an early age. Not only does it promote fitness, it's an intriguing sports, full of strategies and excitement.

On top of that, seeing world class players on TV has been an inspiration to them to develop new techniques, improving their skills and what it is like to both win and lose. When they first started they weren't very good and they thought they would never be a good player but after much support and encouragement from friends and teachers, they got better.
