What is the right age to start Badminton?

I started taking my son along with me when I play Badminton and he developed an immediate interest. He will complete 4 years this September and that got me thinking what the right age to start playing Badminton is.

There is a coaching class for kids right before our slot and I checked with the coach if he would admit my son. He mentioned the minimum age for enrollment was 6 years!

I am sure I remember reading somewhere that Maria Sharapova started playing Tennis at the age of 4 years! I am also sure some of the other greats in their games started really early.

So then, what age is right to start Badminton or any other sport for that matter? Is there a difference between how we Indians approach sports and the other nations do?

Badminton - Restart

After a long hiatus (read 13 years), I decided to restart playing Badminton last week. The first thing I did was search for a site which helped me connect with badminton groups in the area. There is unfortunately no site that lets people connect with each other to form sports groups and play. As the search on the net was unproductive I made a few calls and in a day I was set.

But that begs the question - Do we need a site where people can create sports groups, advertise vacancies or interest and connect with others to manage their sports groups?
