Can i ask a couple of really dumb questions?

How easy is it to pick up badminton?

I'm currently doing a Sword class which takes place on a Badminton court so, I often watch people play before my class starts & one of the girls in my class told me that she used to play & was quite good. ( I've noticed that I seem to be alot more co-ordinated than her- but don't tell her that. ) She has challenged me to a game, which may become a more permanent fixture & I'm a lil worried that she'll show me up :-$

I was also worried about injury potential, ie, am I likely to mess up my joints playing it??

Any help/advice will be appreciated.

Its a game that looks deceptively easily, and is great fun to boot, but when you miss the 'cock' and swipe just air, spinning 360 degrees in the process, you may look a wally. I know.

Ha ha, thanks for the advice!

Great games today, using one court to 15 points and the other court to 21 points worked really well.

I have booked a court for Monday 7 - 9 at crystal palace, let me know if you can make it newbies welcome

Andy, If you have played badminton before then picking it up again is really quite easy. It can be hard on the joints and muscles though but a warm up usually helps. This current edf badminton group has been going quite a while now, it started off small and has grown, it has fused with a group that were playing at Camberwell Fusion and works well. I haven't been for a couple of weeks but there are usually 2 sometimes 3 games a week and it's nice to see how people improve. A group text message is sent by Mogs when games are booked. You should come to this. Mogs is a good organiser. Thanks Mogs.(tu)

Oh and brum, you could come to this too young man.:))

Thanks for the reply & the invite, I may take you up on it when my timetable is less busy. I've only played a few times & was really drunk, so I'm not too sure about my ability- also the girl I was playing would not stop cheating.
