The “lag-serie” play has now been started after the covid break. Asker has joined forces with IL skrim this season to compete in the U15 “lag-serie” with a very strong team. 

During the weekend of 23rd and 24th of October this mixed team played in Haugerudhallen with the following result:

• Win 8-0 against Vestre Aker (Saturday)
• Win 5-3 against Haugerud (Sunday)  
• Win 7-1 against Strømmen (Sunday)

A wonderful result! Our team is also a mix of experienced and new players in the lag-serie format. Everyone gave full support to they team and all experienced a very nice weekend socially and sportsvise

Another nice weekend with many Asker badminton players playing has come to and end. We are impressed by the result of Shreyas and Shravan which played against each other in U13A men singles and together (and vinning) the U13A men double. Also Yatin made a very good result with his 3. place in U15A men single. A lot of other players from Asker also played and we happy to se so many Asker players having fun and learning a lot by playing in various tournaments. We encourage all Asker badminton player to participate in local tournaments as this is fun and a good way to improve badminton skills.

In Mosstreffen in the beginning of October there were two Asker-players that played their first tournament ever. Kaushik and Manju did a great job and even though they were a little bit nervous at first, they had a nice experience in the badminton hall. Please read a little intervju with them below.

Manju and Kaushik in their first badminton tournament

How was it to play your first tournament?

K: It was very good because I made it to the finals in my first tournament.

M: It was so good and at the same time I was feeling a bit nervous. The tournament was a new experience for me.

What did you learn?

K: I learned to move the player around on court.

M: I learned losing is also a part of the game. I can learn more when I lose, so losing also benefit me.

What is your best memory from the tournament?

K: When I received my trophy.

M: Of course winning was a good memory, but at the same time losing was also a good memory.

What will you continue working on?

K: My confidence on court.

M: Moving the opponent around on court, increasing the power of my smash and accepting failure.

Great effort and good results from this weekend's tournament in Moss (see all results here). In total we got four gold, seven silver and two bronze. Very good results in all age groups.
Many of our young players played their first tournament this weekend and we all think this was fun.

The Covid restrictions for the use of Askerhallen is now lifted. We can now use Askerhallen as we did before the Covid outbreak. But we are still very many player in a restricted area so we need to organise the players in groups.

We have decided that everyone that wants to participate in a training session needs to apply in the SPOND app. More information is found here.
