Sheldon...this is me all over (last year anyway!)

It seems that (maybe) I am the longest one (until now). ;)
30 years and never think to stop.

well i suppose i started when i was only 2 years old (that's when i was first able to hit the shuttle) but i wasn't playing properly at all. i started playing regularly when i was 6 (once a week) but still just messing around really. i really started taking it seriously (as in i started to play matches with people) when i was eleven and then started to play competitively when i was about 12, so i'd say 3 years (i'm 15 now)

Age 16 played for 11 years 6 of which has been in the county/national setup

3 months...

Still a newbie :D

Sorry Jkusmanto I'm just ahead of you. Season number 43 about to start.

man some of you guys have been playing since you were sooo young...never even heard of the sport badminton, till year 8... and i started in year 9..hated it at first, cause thought tennis was way cooler.. but now, badminton's soo cool!! cause our school team just won the gsv grand finals!!! yay!!! but i'm still not that good. been playing for 1 1/2 years.

I started holding the racket for the first time when I was 2 years old ... started playing for fun with friends at 8, joined the club for formal training at 11, quit training because I realized the tough competition and wanted to focus on school at 15, has been playing for fun since then, I never thought of quiting even though I got few injuries here and there and recently just got the worst one ... still recovering ... badminton has been part of my life ... :)

hmm... about 5 years now. 20 now btw.

started playing at age 12, stop at 14, back again at age 28 till now at 30.
In total, I guess I can put that at 4 years?

Started in high school at 13 years old.

Stopped at 16 for 2 years and now just came back for a year but not planning to quit till the day that i'll die.

24 years, with a 2 year break somewhere along the way. I'm just the wrong side of 30 - too old to be any good and too young to play veterans. :p

Started playing around 10 just casual playing.

Stop for 8 years,played again when i was 18 for about a yr.

Stop for 2 years, now 21 and playing again.

First picked up the game in school. Was just casual on-and-off playing for a few months.. (can't remember precisely).

Then a 10 year gap.

Got back into the game this spring, and only just started playing weekly during the last 2 months..

Still at beginner level.. and learning :p

4 years and counting

i have been playing for 2 years, but at the start i wuz rubbish but in 2 years i am now at regional level. i am 14

now i'm playing again. have you still got all your skills? because when i stopped for a few weeks, i swear i was only 85% as good

have you still got all your skills? because when i stopped for a few weeks, i swear i was only 85% as goodnope. not even close. :mad:
it might be many factors. during the off-time, i hurt my shoulder, but shouldn't be an excuse, since its my non-racquet hand.
also, before, i played with people who were consistently better than me, so maybe in order to prevent myself from dragging everyone down, i had to improve constantly. now i dont' get such opportunity, playing with a few friends who just picked it up.

i'm probably around 50-75%... but i do feel that i've been getting closer to back on form. but still inconsistant.

about a year but playing regularly for 6 months....

like........................2.7 years so far!! I'm 17 years old btw :rolleyes:

Still young and dangerous ;)

4 Years this season. 13 years.

3 Years now....

3 Years now....

first picked up a wooden raquet and played out doors at the age of 6 or 7

didnt start playing on a court till i was about 12.. played on and off since then

23 right now

Well thanks for reminding some of us how old we are
*hahahaha* :D :D :D

I've never actually counted... but I just did... and it's
quite disturbing... I've been playing 20 years :eek:
*wow* :p

:D :D :D

Almost 10yrs, but a few yrs discontinued and continue again, so its around 8 yrs.

Been playing for almost 8 years now, but only the last 2 years at a serious level

I am only 13, and in grade 8, so it is hard for me to play a lot. I started in October of grade 7 in my school and just played there. I made the team that year. This year, I made it again, and I look forward to next year. My coach told me that I should try some provincial tournaments. :) So about a year and a half but not consistently.

Well , I've played 'backyard badminton' frequently when I was in China . Basically , me and my parents were just trying to keep a rally going and we were just playing on the roads for fun I guess... that was when I was about 7 or 8 . Then I came to Canada and haven't played any badminton since Sept.2004 ( 8 months ago ) , which is when I've been playing some 'real' badminton :D

- btw MikeyB , I'm in grade eight as well ;) -

14yrs.old now, been playing for 1 year now:D

I started playing at the local badminton club 2 years ago I think.. I stopped after a year, and never touched a racket since last thursday in p.e.:D - I coudn't hit anything (not that I ever could, haha :p)!

been playing since around grade 5 or 6 (9 or 10 yrs old) and have played recreationally pretty often since then.

I'm 15 years old now.
Been playing for about 9 years.
First 4 years were "backyard badminton".
Last 5 have been pretty serious, as in reguarly attending a club.
In the last 1 year it has got really serious with some hefty training. ;)
