I was wondering if there are any tournaments in the US or nearby in North America where recreational players can participate? How often do those kinds of events happen? Also, how much time does it usually take to reach a "pro" level? Is there an age limit for training with a professional? And finally, do you need to be a member of a specific club to play in the American leagues?
I'm actually putting together a report for my PE class, so if anyone could give me a rundown of what the professional badminton scene looks like here in America, I’d really appreciate it! 😉
Ah, these younger generations—they want everything handed to them on a silver platter! 😉
My best advice would be to do a little digging online for local badminton centers and just drop by in person to ask some questions. I'm pretty sure someone there would be happy to point you in the right direction!
Here are just the first two results that pop up on Google:

I'm certain you'll find someone there who can give you more detailed info.
