Because badminton games are no longer used to settle land disputes and damages from horse collisions, they’ve become the battleground for deciding which U.S. citizen will be the first to move to the moon. Pave the way for lunar life with today's Groupon: for $20, you get two hours of badminton or table-tennis court rental (a $44 value for non-members without coach) at San Gabriel Valley Badminton Club in El Monte. This Groupon is only valid for non-members.

San Gabriel Valley Badminton Club caters to racket-bearers with 18 badminton and five table-tennis courts. The well-lit badminton courts are housed in a large warehouse-like structure, providing players with ample room to knock the shuttlecock high into the air. SGVBC allows guests to bring as many friends as they'd like, so large groups can take turns or simultaneously increase heart rates and fool pores into opening up and letting out their sweat juices. Courts are indoors, ensuring players will be protected from bad weather and low-flying crop dusters.

• I've played at all the badminton clubs in SoCal and SGVBC is the best because, first and foremost, the competition. Also it has the best badminton environment: lighting, depth perception and you can hear the shuttle at SGVBC better than any other badminton club. – Dan C., Yelp
