    I was 30 when I started plying badminton. :eek::eek::eek:
    I'd swum competitively in my youth, and played a multitude of (mostly 'ball') games, but only picked up badminton in 2005.:confused::eek:

    I started playing badminton at a very young age around 7 or 8 years old. Nevertheless, I have never been into any coaching yet.I'm looking for one. Can anyone recommend me coaches in Subang Jaya ? :eek:

    I started playing at 6-7, but stopped when i was 8-11 years old as my doubles partner clashed his racket into my right eye, and therefore hospitalized and my dad broke all one and only racket. then i started again when i was 12, but i stopped at 13-16years old as my school doesnt have a badminton team during my secondary school. Now i am 18 and am playing on. Glad that i overcame that obstacle when i was hospitalized. I thought i wouldnt be picking up a badminton racket again.:D
