3. Kids badminton feedback (One of the many ones...)
As a comparison, in Indonesia, this program was re-introduced
nationally (in clubs, schools, and during regular championships) for
few months early this year. Interestingly, they use the name "Badmini."
The spokesperson is a former national champion.

The sizes of court, net, and racket are appropriately smaller for kids.
I think the points on games are 11 for both boys and girls.

[Thanks to Andre Kwee for the feedback!]
