2. The letter from a badminton fan to CLBP members
http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/clbp/message/261
elicited a response. The question was:
Is it OK to always play in your own circle of friends? Should we make an effort
to play with beginners and those new to our area/club ?

---------
From: Nancy Greco, Oak Park:
Players should always mix. It isn't fair to be excluded from a game
because someone thinks you aren't good enough to play with them. Most
players improve by playing up to the level of another. We at the Oak
Park YMCA insist that members play with everyone. It is difficult
when some refuse or act tired, but are ready to jump up when they
think there will be a better match. Having a ladder or rotation can
also help, or having winner stay on and play a game with challengers.
Policies should be set up so that those who pay just like everyone
else have an opportunity to be on the court and not on the bench.
