The Christmas Connection Tournament

What began as a casual Tuesday hit turned into a high-energy, pre-Christmas tournament that did exactly what it was meant to do — connect players who wouldn’t normally share the same court at our badminton centre.
​
Different groups, different circles, different playing styles all came together for a fast-paced, loud, and social-competitive morning. New partnerships were formed, unfamiliar match-ups happened, and by the end of the session it was clear how valuable these connection-style events are for our community.
​
A big thank you to everyone who took part and helped set the tone:
Hitomi, Isaac, Joshua, Atul, Xibo, Zhi, Aly, Vimal, Sovann, Rahman, Kasey, Shiv, Sopheara, Muhammad, Jacob, Frank, Ollie, CJ, Don, Simon, Anthony, Keana, Amal, Sarong, Tim, Aaron, Darshan, Ly, Pok Li, and Matthew.
​
If you missed out — or want more of this — we’ll be running another Connection-style event in January. Same idea: new pairings, new opponents, and a chance to play outside your usual group.
Spots will be limited again, and these get snapped up quickly. Keep an eye out for registrations opening soon.
​
This is badminton at its best — competitive, social, and built on connection.
