Badminton is a sport that is enjoyed all around the world by millions of people of a wide range of ages. It is a sport that explores speed changes, reaction time demands, muscular strength and endurance challenges, and is heartpumping fun.
This newly identified Olympic Sport offers benefits to all who pick up a racket and a shuttle for a test outing on the court. That includes the 50 Special Olympics athletes who will be competing in the fantastic surroundings of the main sports hall at Bath University across a wide range of categories.
