ABOUT BADMINTON from some of the ETHS Badminton team’s players:
“I love badminton because it
showed me the competitive and
athletic side of me that I never knew
I had. Joining the badminton team
my Freshman year introduced me
to so many new people and taught
me skills like commitment and
diligence.
I think Manny classes are so helpful
I have really developed as not only
a player but as a person.”
-Sasha (Senior)
“I really enjoy playing badminton in
high school and if they offered it in
middle school, I would have played
then too. It would help prepare
students for the competitive high
school season. They would learn
the basics earlier so then when they
came to high school they could
refine their skills.”
-Sonia (Junior)
“I like playing badminton because it gives
you a chance to play as an individual
while still having the experience of
playing on a team. Badminton takes
skill but it also requires endurance and
perseverance.”
-Rebecca (Senior)
“I play badminton because it’s an
awesome and super fun sport. It’s great
because you can start playing at any time
and can really improve as you practice.
Since it’s mostly an individual sport your
work directly impacts matches. Manny’s
lessons helped me work on and improve
my skill along with improving my chances
of making the high school team this
season.”
-Ruth (Sophomore)
“Badminton is a super fun sport that
is easy to pick up but can always be
improved.”
-Kate (Sophomore)
“I love badminton!!! It is so fun! It can
be really fun and silly but it can also
be really hard work and challenging
and that is what I love so much about
it! Making a team is so fun and I know
from this sport who I have known for
all 4 years of high school. No matter
what people say I don’t know what I
would have done if I didn’t get to play
badminton. It is my main sport but
I also play volleyball! Anyone who
loves sports and loves competition
should play badminton. (Even if
you don’t usually like sport, give it a
chance it isn’t just an ordinary game
:)“
-Sarah (Senior)
“Badminton is extremely fun and
athletic. It’s relatively easy to pick
up while still there’s always the
possibility to keep improving.”
-Emma (Sophomore)
“I like playing badminton because even
though you are part of a team you still
get the chance to be individual, which
is why I like playing singles. I enjoy this
class because I am able to focus more
on what I need to fix.”
-Keegan (Senior)
“I play badminton because its a fun
sport that involves a lot of strategy
and technique. And most of the sport
is an individuals challenge, so if you
work really hard it will pay off. On
top of all that its such a fun sport
and a sport that I love to play! Its the
perfect combination of team work and
individual training. I love how easy it
is to see how much I have improved
through the season. It is such a
rewarding sport! I would recommend
badminton to any form of athlete.”
-Shama (Sophomore)
