Badminton!

Badminton, Open to All Skill Levels

7 to 9 pm Wednesdays, Decatur Recreation Center, 231 Sycamore St.

The Olympics are just around the corner, and one of the more overlooked Olympic sport events is Badminton. It can be played leisurely in the backyard or a summer picnic, but played competitively, it can be a fast-paced, fun workout. This from Wikipedia: "At high levels of play, the sport demands excellent fitness: players require aerobic stamina, agility, strength, speed, and precision. It is also a technical sport, requiring good motor coordination and the development of sophisticated racquet skills."

The racquet skill part of the game is interesting: it's a sport where someone in their 40's or 50's can not just compete against, but consistently trounce opponents in their teens and 20's, because of the skill component.
