Now that the UMBC badminton club has been redesigned (does linking to a blog count as a redesign?), I hope that we can turn the UMBC badminton community into a more close knit one while at the same time expanding to recruit more players!

After todays practice, we currently have 4 semi-regulation courts so we would like to put those to good use.  The officers are currently deliberating on how to partition the court space so that those who want to play games can play games, and those who wish to just hit around can do so while granting everyone equal time on the courts.

We will be introducing a “Club Rules” handout next Monday in hopes of organizing the playtime a little better.

As far as Fridays go, Michelle (Treasurer) and I (Eric) will try to make it to as many of the practices as we can, but none of the other officers will be able to attend.  I have not heard any complaints about Friday practices yet so that’s great news.

One last note, don’t be afraid to ask people to play games!  I see lots of people playing with just a set group of 4 and we encourage more intermingling.  It helps everyone to play with different people.

One more last note, please comment on these posts so I don’t forget about the blog

Keep smashing!
