Play an hour of badminton!




Why?
Badminton is such a great sport because it excercises both the mind and the body. You and your date will have a great time playing together or against each other, it offers a sort of high that you can't reach anywhere else. What's good about this too is you prepare yourselves for a good meal afterwards. It's original, it's fun, it's stimulating. Aside from that, there won't be any awkward silences while playing.

How Much

Usually the courts range from 250 - 300 pesos/hour, depending on the court and if you are a member or not. That is usually not including the fees for each player, ranging from 150-250 pesos. You might want to avail of any of their special promos, perhaps an "play all you can" or something similar to that.

What to do after

As I always recommend, a good meal after physical activity is the best. Otherwise, grab something to drink.

Tips

  • Do bring extra shirts
  • Do bring gatorade or other drinks, they do sell there but expect it to be more expensive
  • Don't be over competitive
  • Do have lots of fun in between plays
  • Try to stretch before to avoid injury
  • Hire a coach if both of you are starting out
