Who knew?

I had always believed that badminton was a very minor sport in the US - practiced mostly by high school kids not popular enough to be on the tennis team. Thus, I wasn't expecting to find any good places to play on my short vacation back in California. Oh, how little did I know!



This gigantic facility has more courts than I could count, and is staffed by the ex-coach of the Thai national badminton team, among other very big-name people. A sign out front said that this facility is where the US Olympic team trained, too. Who knew a badminton club this size would be just a short drive from my house?
