Could Badminton become a mainstream High School Sport in Massachusetts?

Getting badminton as one of the sports in High Schools seemed elusive but was very much in the minds and discussion among Massbad activists for over six years, though no concrete steps were taken.   To their surprise, a student group organizing themselves into the Massachusetts High School Badminton Leaque (MHSBL  http://www.mhsbl.com/) in 2010 held the first MHSBL Open on June of 2011.  The number of participants, most of who never competed in USAB tournaments, and schools involved inspired Massbad to work together with MHSBL.  Both organizations agreed that Massbad was to organize and run an annual HS Team Championships at Boston Badminton while MHSBL was to run the individual event, a High School Open at Newton North HS.  The grassroots organizing from t Read more »

Newton North High School is the 2014 Massbad High School Team Champion

Newton North HS was in second place in two High School Team Tournaments in 2013.  This year  Newton North is the Massbad High School Team Champion.  Unlike other teams, the Champion did not have any junior who is nationally ranked.  They have three alumni (Chris Yee, Kelly Huang and Xin Yin Zhu) who coached and inspired the team to train hard; they had team spirit and they were blessed with having court time in school for regular practices.  They proved that this formula can beat star power!

MASSBAD CROWNS THE CHAMPIONS OF THE TEAM DOUBLES LEAGUE FOR THE EIGHTH YEAR

The Massbad Team Doubles League was started in 2007 by the trio Beth Sopka, Tom Yang and Yvonne Chern.  Tom Yang led the tournament from 2007 to 2012.  The format that year consisted of home and away team matches.  Because of difficulty in getting courts for the tournament, this was replaced the following year with set dates using Maugus Club and the Chauncy Hill High School gym as the venue from 2008 to 2011 and using Boston Badminton from 2012 onwards.
