T he 2017 TF South Girls Badminton

program has become well known

throughout the State of Illinois. Many par-

ents and coaches from other schools con-

stantly ask - How do you do it ? and What

club do you train at ?. Answer: Open

Gyms and (free ?)Summer Camps at TF

South High School.

A fter finishing in the Top 10 consis-

tently over the last 8 years, the entire

State of Illinois is aware of the quality pro-

gram and the fabulous young athletes that

TF South has to offer.

C ontinued support from the Athletic

Director and the community, guaran-

tees TFS future success. Maintaining the

current coaching staff along with making

sure the practice facilities are properly util-

ized will insure TF South with a healthy

successful badminton program for many

years to come.

“Competent coaching, dedication,, winning the State Tourney, home invites, administrative support, and winning records all mixed together form a popular and successful high

school Badminton program.”

Our (1) SENIOR will be greatly missed.

At the conclusion of the 2017 Badminton

season, a final farewell to our only senior is

a very sad moment. She provided the team

with many victories and memorable mo-

ments. Frances set excellent examples for

the younger players to follow. She had

excellent attendance and always con-

ducted herself as a perfect Lady Rebel.

Frances served as our team MOM, team

CAPTAIN, and team ACCOUNTANT.

and

ALL our Friends

A s I end up my 8th year of coach-

ing the Rebels Badminton team, I

found it to be another successful sea-

son and extremely enjoyable. We

have established a strong foundation

for Badminton to grow at TF South.

Large turnouts with success on the

courts as well as in the classroom will

be trademarks of our Badminton pro-

gram for many years to come. Our

biggest goal is to maintain excellence

and continuity that winning programs

all exhibit.

W e are proud of our player’s atti-

tudes, effort, sportsmanship, and

dedication exhibited throughout the

2017 season.

Badminton may be considered a minor sport, but it plays a major role in the

lives of many TFS High School athletes.

T he TF South Badminton team has

earned the respect of the admini-

stration, booster club, staff members,

SSC opponents, parents, and current

and past players.

T hose who have played Badmin-

ton, LOVE the SPORT—those who

haven’t, usually criticize the sport with-

out ever knowing the skill involved

and the dedication required to be suc-

cessful.

T his year’s team was well behaved

throughout the season. They

maintained their grades and carried an

excellent average GPA average.

I anxiously await our summer training

programs and the start of next year’s

competition.

Robert Tengstrand, Head Coach 2017

The 2017 Badminton Season ends with TF South being PROUD of their Badminton Team, PROUD of their Winning Record,

PROUD of their Behavior and PROUD of their Academic Excellence exhibited dur-

ing the 2017 season.
