Badminton season ending ;-(

This is a sad week...because the badminton season is coming to an end. I play at the Royal City Badminton Club (www.rcbc.eloragorge.ca). Our season goes from Sept-May and we play 3 nights a week, I usually make it out at least twice a week. The club has special meaning to me because I am also on the executive (as secretary-treasurer and web/advertising co-coordinater). It's nice to have a say in the club's organization. This season I also got to help out with some coaching (elementary school), which was really fun. I hope to do more of that in the future...the kids ran me into the ground with the drills, talk about endless energy! They were so enthusiastic, it's great to see young people interested in this great sport.

By the time the badminton season starts up again in the fall, I should be really HUGE...I wonder if I will still be able to move on the court? Maybe I can try traditional mixed doubles; that's about all of the court that I think I will be able to cover. Already I feel like I am tripping on the 'bun' if I move quickly from the back to the front of the court. It's a strange sensation!

PS. One day I will be able to jump smash just like the guy in the picture! ;-)
