History and Development
of Badminton
Nature of the Game
Agoo, La Union
 Badminton was known in ancient times; an early form
of the sport was played in ancient Greece. In Japan,
the related game Hanetsuki was played as early as the
16th century. In the west, badminton came from a
game called battledore and shuttlecock, in which two
or more players keep a feathered shuttlecock in the air
with small rackets. The game was called "Poona" in
India during the 18th century, and British Army officers
stationed there took a competitive Indian version back
to England in the 1860s, where it was played at country
houses as an upper class amusement. Isaac Spratt, a
London toy dealer, published a booklet, "Badminton
Battledore - a new game" in 1860, but unfortunately no
copy has survived.
 The new sport was definitively launched in 1873 at the
Badminton House, Gloucestershire, owned by the Duke
of Beaufort. During that time, the game was referred to
as "The Game of Badminton," and the game's official
name became Badminton.
 Until 1887 the sport was played in England under the
rules that prevailed in India. The Bath Badminton Club
standardized the rules and made the game applicable
to English ideas. The basic regulations were drawn up in
1887. In 1893, the Badminton Association of England
published the first set of rules according to these
regulations, similar to today's rules, and officially
launched badminton in a house called "Dunbar" at 6
Waverley Grove, Portsmouth, England on September 13
of that year. They also started the All England Open
Badminton Championships, the first badminton
competition in the world, in 1899.
 The International Badminton Federation (IBF) (now
known as Badminton World Federation) was established
in 1934 with Canada, Denmark, England, France, the
Netherlands, Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland, and
Wales as its founding members. India joined as an
affiliate in 1936. The BWF now governs international
badminton and develops the sport globally.
 While originated in England, international badminton
has traditionally beendominated by a few Asian
countries, plus Denmark from Europe. China, Indonesia,
South Korea and Malaysia are among the nations that
have consistently produced world-class players in the
past few decades and dominated competitions on the
international level, with China being the most dominant
in recent years.
 Badminton is a racket sport played by either two
opposing players (singles) or two opposing pairs
(doubles), who take positions on opposite halves of a
rectangular court that is divided by a net. Players score
points by striking a shuttlecock with their racket so that
it passes over the net and lands in their opponents' half
of the court. A rally ends once the shuttlecock has
struck the ground, and the shuttlecock may only be
struck once by each side before it passes over the net.
 The shuttlecock (or shuttle) is a feathered projectile
 Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University

whose unique aerodynamic properties cause it to fly
differently from the balls used in most racket sports; in
particular, the feathers create much higher drag,
causing the shuttlecock to decelerate more rapidly than
a ball. Shuttlecocks have a much higher top speed,
when compared to other racket sports. As the
shuttlecock flight is stubbornly affected by wind,
competitive badminton is always played indoors.
Badminton is also played outdoors as a casual
recreational activity, often as a garden or beach game.
 Since 1992, badminton has been an Olympic sport with
five events: men's and women's singles, men's and
women's doubles, and mixed doubles, in which each
pair is a man and a woman. At high levels of play, the
sport demands excellent fitness: players require
aerobic stamina, agility, strength, speed, and precision.
It is also a technical sport, requiring good motor
coordination and the development of sophisticated
racket movements.
