Badminton Info
Tournament game numbers are attached below. We will begin the tournament around 945am. We do not know times of games as the next game number is played as another game finishes and courts open up. We will try to update the website every so often with the current game numbers.
Badminton season has begun!
How badminton works at EDS:
- There are 5 different categories for students to sign up for within their grade level:
- Girls Doubles (2v2)
- Boys Doubles (2v2)
- Mixed Doubles (1boy/girl pair vs 1 boy/girl pair)
- Girls Singles (1v1)
- Boys Singles (1v1)
- Students will practice in their category and get a feel for the game throughout the month of March.
- After Spring Break, students will return and 'try out' for a spot on the team. Badminton is the one sport where we are limited to the number of players/teams we can bring to the tournament. Each category can have 2 teams per grade level, so a maximum of 16 students per grade may attend.
- When we say try out, we take into account: teachability, growth, commitment, scores between peers, and positive/negative attitudes.
