Oak Ridge Badminton Club
The Oak
Ridge Badminton Club is a small non-profit organization which aims at good
health and fitness through badminton sport for those who live in the big Oak
Ridge-Knoxville area. Badminton involves a lot of running, and is especially
good for developing eye-hand reflexes, quickness, and coordination. It is
inexpensive, very easy to learn, and enjoyed by experts and novices alike. For
the years since 1998, young and senior players have been playing badminton at

Badminton is FUN ! A lot of Americans think that badminton is some kind of backyard game after BBQ. In fact, badminton has been said to be one of the most intense sports. And it is not dangerous because there is a net between the players. The feeling of jumping and sweating, conquering, collaboration (in doubles), and feeling young, is really good. Besides, it is one of the sports in which you always find there is somewhere higher you can reach. So - come and play with us!
