From jangl88 at hotmail.com Tue Oct 5 08:58:20 2010 From: jangl88 at hotmail.com (Leon Jang) Date: Tue, 5 Oct 2010 09:58:20 -0500 Subject: [Lsubadminton] 2010 Yonex Houston Open Message-ID: Hey everyone, The Houston Open is coming once again and I am currently organizing a party to head on over! Tournament Information: Website: http://houstonbadmintonclub.org/ Date: Nov 12-14 2010 Registration Deadline: Oct 30 (Or first 160 Registrants) Fees: $35 for first event $10 for second $5 for third We can arrange partners if you're interested. Depending on how many people decide to go we might split a hotel room. Now that we know when the tournament is. In order to prepare for the tournament I will be holding training sessions. These training sessions are only open to members and you will be required to show up to the majority of the sessions. Essentially what I am looking for is a general commitment. Judging from the general populous here is what I think most people need to work on. Physical Shape (cardio, stamina, strengthening muscles)Stamina especially, tournaments are very taxing on stamina. Technical skillsGeneral Strategy Friday will be a free practice (I recommend playing as many games as you can, the higher level the better) Saturday's and Sunday's practice will start off with building up stamina and getting into shape and end with skills practice. I will be practicing throughout the week as well, if anyone wants to join me just let me know. Here are the leftover practices before the tournament (not including fridays): Oct 9-10 Oct 17 Oct 23-24 Oct 30-31 Nov 7 We leave for the tournament November 12 and will coordinate schedules to figure out when we will leave for Houston. Each practice session will last about 2-3 hours, to sign up just contact me (Leon Jang) in some way or fashion. I expect that if you do sign up, you will show up to a minimum of 6 practices. I will be deciding practice times on Friday upon figuring out how many members we have.
