2017 “Invite A Friend” ABC Christmas Tournament…. a Smashing Success!!!🏸🏸

Coach Nelson Asuncion has always been a believer of doing what has never been done before… it carries on to his badminton programs, to the athletes he has produced, even to his kids then players now coaches and Phil. Badminton Icons Kennie and Kennevic. That is why when they do something, it has to be one of a kind.

Indeed the recently concluded Christmas Tournament is a first, first in allowing ABC and Ateneo players to make new friends or simply enjoy the game of badminton with friends from different teams as partners… It has been tiring but a whole lot of great games!!! Partnerships and match ups never seen before on a high competitive level and yet no sign of animosity because they were all in the spirit of fun & sportsmanship which the center highlighted for its Christmas party.

Many schools were represented by its players, from la salle, n.u., u.p., ust, ica, xavier, notre dame, povera, ofcourse a lot fr ateneo and many more. You did not see anyone fighting over calls, instead, they joked around wrong calls or making it fun and laughing about it… yet, undoubtedly, skills of all participants were showcased and all are winners for simply getting up, playing matches that extended beyond its estimated time due to tight show of strength & skills on court.

Memorable is truly what this tournament has been… thank you to all our participants who found time to come over and celebrate Christmas with us. To all parents, family and friends that joined us, many many thanks!!!

Ofcourse all these are made doubly fun by our sponsors who gave away freebies that made our players extra happy:
