2nd Edition of Badminton Tournament Set for September

The Jamaica Badminton Academy will be hosting the second staging of the Shuttle Showdown at the YMCA, across two weekends, September 20–21 and September 27–28.

A member of the organizing committee, Kenneth Anglin, says the tournament was created as a platform to unearth and elevate local talent.

Anglin says the Shuttle Showdown has quickly become a cornerstone in the development of Jamaican badminton.

This year’s tournament will include the traditional Beginners, Juniors and Divisions A to D, while introducing two exciting additions — a Masters category for players aged 40 and over and a Parent and Child Doubles division.

Anglin says since its first staging, the tournament has grown in both scale and reputation, drawing a broader range of participants and increasing interest from schools, universities, and badminton clubs.
