RacketKids was founded on the belief that every child deserves access to information about healthy living. Our non-profit organization is dedicated to providing fun workout programs for kids and parents and tips and tricks for staying fit at home. We also offer nutrition information, including food for optimal health. Our mission is to educate children and parents about the benefits of exercise and healthy eating and empower them to make positive changes in their lives.
​
Why the name RacketKids? When our founder, Ben Zhou, moved to PEI in 2015 without knowing a single word of English, he faced many challenges adapting to a new environment. However, he found solace and formed lasting friendships through badminton.
​
During those initial days in Charlottetown, PEI, Ben discovered that badminton was a sport and a universal language that transcended barriers. It became a medium through which he connected with others, making friends and experiencing moments of pure fun and happiness. Inspired by his own journey and the transformative power of badminton, Ben decided to create an organization that would introduce kids, especially new islanders like himself, to this wonderful sport while instilling essential values like teamwork, discipline, and resilience.
​
Thus, RacketKids was born, symbolizing our commitment to nurturing young athletes who find joy and friendship in badminton, just as Ben did. Our program brings together kids of various backgrounds, abilities, and cultures, fostering an inclusive and supportive community where every child feels valued and encouraged.
​
Each week, our RacketKids gather in Charlottetown, PEI, to engage in the sport they love. Through structured training, friendly matches, and enjoyable activities, we aim to develop badminton skills and impart life lessons that extend far beyond the court. 
​
At RacketKids, we strive to carry forward the essence of Ben's experience with badminton—to provide a platform where kids can find friends and have fun while embracing the sport they love. As we continue our journey, we are committed to empowering the next generation of badminton enthusiasts, fostering a close-knit community, and, above all, creating lasting memories of joy and camaraderie on the badminton court.
