I am curious as to the type of gymnasium that 'non-national' players from SE Asia (HK, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and Austrailia) to go play badminton. 1. Do they have air conditioning? 2. Are the ceiling height high enough? 3. All wooden floors? 4. Good, ok or bad lighting? It would be nice to hear players feedback from abroad. I think european players would be at some disadvantage when playing tournaments in SE Asian countries. They are not use to hot and mucky air, and there is no t-shirt change breaks allowed during a game Where I live it is alway cool and dry, it rarely gets higher than 27 deg C in the summer even that the air is still relatively dry.
Description of Asia Gyms are provided below : - There are two type of floor and tile is the usual one School uses hallow floor. - Lighting has two types - yellow and white light - some places have air-con but some dun. The temperature is at 29C and above.. In tampines sport hall, it is at as high as 35C.
In Malaysia, usually wooden/parquet floor..... good lighting.........NO air-cond .....and yes, sometimes very hot especially in the afternoon.
thanks for all the feedback to date. Temperature control are found only in private club where i live. Also, some clubs even have to pump in moisture during the winter time.
I go play badminton in schools ... some are so low it barely touches the top when you clear almost.. also has lifted up basketball hoops so sometimes if you clear too high it gets stuck lol. It doesnt get too hot at all if anything, cold... sucky place to play (unless rich schoo)
