IMPORTANT: available Friday Play Dates.

IMPORTANT [bad] NEWS:

The Johnson Gym is completely closed for the next 4 weeks as the general contractor attempts to finish their work project before the start of the summer camps.

Hope to see you all again soon!

( I am going to figure out a way to bring automatic notifications about the available play dates sent to your email -- so please do register! - Tom...)

Another super rally

Mon, 12/17/2007 - 17:46 — badmin

This is what it is all about. Another great rally  


Fantastic rally

Let!

Sun, 04/08/2007 - 16:00 — Tom

If a let is called, the rally is stopped and replayed with no change to the score. Lets may occur due to some unexpected disturbance such as a shuttlecock landing on court (having been hit there by players on an adjacent court). If the receiver is not ready when the service is delivered, a let shall be called; yet if the receiver makes any attempt to return the shuttlecock, he shall be judged to have been ready. There is no let if the shuttlecock hits the tape (even on service).

good concentration whilst serving

Many points are lost because one is trying to serve too fast without taking the time to concentrate on the shot.
