What leads me to write this article?
In one badminton training session one kid asked me, is badminton a winter sport? I said it’s an “Interesting question”. I did not think about it in my entire badminton life. He asked me maybe because it was wintertime. I started to think about that question a little bit more deeply on the same day.
You can play badminton outside in the summertime but if it is not too windy. Because badminton shuttle is only 5.50 g and they are lightweight and they do not go straight when it is windy. But some people like it since it is fun to play some badminton, especially in parks on the weekend.

In which season do you play badminton? Which season is your favorite? Or is badminton a winter sport ?
I’m from Sri Lanka and I live in Germany now. So Sri Lanka has no season at all. So in Sri Lanka, most days are sunny days. People play badminton almost every day but sometimes it’s a little bit difficult to play badminton inside when it is too hot.
I have found out that I like to play badminton in the winter season. Because it is not that hot and we are not going to be sweat a lot but you need to do a lot of warm-up exercises before you play badminton, especially in the winter season. Because your body temperature is low and not ready to do a lot of running suddenly. Otherwise, you will have pain in your body the next day, especially joints’ pain.
That’s why if you play badminton in the winter season make sure you do at least 30 to 45 minutes of a proper warm-up. I advise my badminton students to do warm-up exercises properly. I have seen many good players have problems after a few years because of a lack of warm-ups. I know you need to run into the game and you are so excited to play but you should do warm-ups first otherwise you will suffer from an injury even.
