860-4384EUROPE'S SPEEDMINTON HITS U.S.Proponents of the game Speedminton say it's the fastest game
on the planet. Others say it's a combination of tennis, racquetball and badminton. Yet others say
it's like nothing you've ever played. But, everyone who gets the chance to play, says the same
thing: It's fun and you can play it anywhere, anytime. Developed in Germany seven years ago,
Speedminton has become the rage in over 20 countries in Europe with the game being played on
rooftops, at the beach, in the snow, in parks and even at night. The game does not required a net
and therefore, can be played without having to rent or book courts. And, the speeders, which can
travel over 175mph, can be fitted with small lights so that you can play in the dark at night. In
fact, the game of nightminton has become so popular that it's now found at music festivals and parks
with participants painting themselves with iridescent paints! Because the cost to get started in the
game is so inexpensive (under $40.00 for a complete set for two players) the game has taken off
beyond anyone's expectations. "This game is great for anyone who wants a quick workout, anyone who
likes racquet sports and anyone who enjoys competition. It's perfect for boys and girls clubs, parks
and rec groups and people that want to play on a team in their city," states Catherine Masters,
President of Speedminton Central, a dealer for the full line of Speedminton products and the
director of the U.S. Speedminton Association. Masters is hoping the game will catch on here in the
United States as well as it has in Europe and envisions thousands of teams around the country
competing against one another. "I think that once people see this game and realize that lots of very
talented athletes play the game, including tennis superstar, Maria Sharapova, they'll become
addicted," she adds. For more information on Speedminton, please call (615) 860-4384 or visit
