8. Do I need a uniform to play?
Deakin University staff will be at the event to assist with the distribution of temporary uniform. It is expected that you hand this uniform back at the end of the day.

We also recommended that you come wearing the same-coloured apparel as your teammates (e.g. Black T-Shirts).
9. Do I need my own equipment?
Unisport Australia will only be providing game balls/shuttlecocks to students on the day.
It would be ideal for participants to supply their own warm up equipment, badminton racquets and table tennis bats.
