Badminton

The sport of badminton has its origins in ancient civilisations in Europe and Asia.  The ancient game known as battledore (bat or paddle) and shuttlecock probably originated more than 2000 years ago.

Badminton has come a long way since then – it has been an Olympic sport since 1992, with five events: men's and women's singles, men's and women's doubles, and mixed doubles. At high levels of play, the sport demands excellent fitness: players require aerobic stamina, agility, strength, speed and precision. It is also a technical sport, requiring good motor coordination and the development of sophisticated racquet movements.

Badminton will be contested at the UWA Recreation and Fitness Centre.
