Interview with Ms. Xi-hong Yeh


 ....................................................................

Ms Yeh had been the coach of the shuttleball team from 1999~2001. She said shuttleball was one of the important sports played in school then. The coach started recruiting players from grade four students, since shuttleball was not an easy sport to learn. Besides good physical condition, balance between limbs was also needed. Therefore it took three years training to become a player in official games. Ms.Yeh herself loved playing shuttleball very much. She even played with the students during summer vacation. However, Ms.Yeh also mentioned that shuttleball was not cheap and can’t be bought in the stores. Maybe that was the reason why it can’t be popular.
