Badminton Australia encourages participation and active involvement of people with a disability, and for all Clubs/Associations to foster para-badminton activities and development. Badminton is enjoyed internationally by millions of people of all ages and abilities, and develops both fundamental physical skills and life skills. Para-Badminton caters to all, as it is a sport for social participation and for those who desire to represent Australia at a competitive level. People with physical or intellectual disabilities can play badminton in singles, doubles or mixed doubles.
It is a sport that explores speed changes, reaction time demands, muscular strength and endurance challenges, and is heart-pumping fun.
