They started with stretches and then moved into games like shuttle-run. They also showed students how to properly hold a racket.
The students then got to witness a sample game with SIS’s Mr. Guinto joining the CNMI national players. Later, the students got their hands on the racket and shuttlecock/airshuttle.
Fifty-three students participated in the event.
