Tennis

[TX2]

I like playing tennis. Is there any place at the convention center that would be good to play tennis.

[michiko nakano]

you could probably call a gathering at a place with public tennis courts (high school, park, etc) and though it would be a little ways away from con you could probably get people to come

Honestly, I'd try any physical activity at Fanime. Too bad I missed cosplay dodgeball.

I suggested an idea earlier in another thread to designate an area at the CC as "the Playground" and encourage more physical activities and games there, with organized play times on the program guide/schedule. I'd like it there so I don't run into any Duck Duck Goose games or games of tag throughout the halls.

Think about it: E-Gaming, Arcade Gaming, PC Gaming, Tabletop Gaming, Play-Gaming (lack of better term).


BTW, there are (real) tennis courts at SJSU and Guadalupe River Park next to HP Pavilion. I'd like to see real Price of Tennis matches with people who actually play tennis, instead of just cosplaying.

It'll end up to be more like Prince of Badminton, really.

Badminton!  Now that's something that could actually be done in the con center, since the birdies don't travel very far and don't hurt when they hit you!  small court, too.  is there another ballroom behind the "dance party" room?  or is that used for storage?

...since the birdies don't travel very far and don't hurt when they hit you! 

Not exactly true XD
I took badminton as a class... and I hurt people with my playing XD

Either way I would love to have a badminton game at the convention :)

[AbsolutelyCursed]

What did you do?? Hit people with your racket??

[AuroraDreamer]

Sometimes... We had an exercise were we would watch the birdie as we hit it into the air. Well I ran into people and such... No fun DX
Also Birdies in eyes aren't fun XD

I was thinking more of stuffing 3 tennis matches into a singly one of the marriot panel rooms and spend most the the time practicing POWER SERVERS!

What could possibly go wrong?

You get to stand directly under one of the c'thuhlu chandelier and look up


But, yeah. I'm all for the badminton in the ballroom idea.
