I like badminton, it is my favorite sport. 
Badminton is a worldwide sport
It is fast paced but not too hard to play.
Are you a beginner or do you already skilled?
I do it as a hobby.
It is a very popular backyard sport in the US
Yes, I learned it in school and played in the yard.
was it extracurricular at your school
Unfortunately it was not but I got my friends to play with me.
Groups of 4 can play and use volley competition for fun.
