ACTIVITY 1: WORD SEARCH “ALL ABOUT BADMINTON”

1. BASELINE - Back boundary line at each end of the court, parallel to the net.
2. FAULT - Whenever a player deviates or break any predefined rule of badminton, intentionally or unintentionally,
while on the court, he is said to have committed a fault. There upon, he is liable to get penalized instantly on the
court. In fact, the violation of well-defined rules can ruin the efforts of players.
3. CARRY - The illegal act of catching the shuttlecock on the racket and then slinging rather than striking it.
4. LET - A legal pause in play to allow a rally to be replayed. Let’s are frequently called for rally interference (e.g., when
a shuttle lands on the court from another court), ceiling obstacles where club rules stipulate a let, unsighted line
calls, and premature serves (opponent not ready).
5. COURT - A specially marked horizontal area within which a game is played; "players had to reserve a court in
advance". The size of the court is different for singles and doubles matches: 17 x 44ft for singles matches, and 20 x
44ft for doubles.
6. ACE - An outright point from a serve that is not even touched by the receiver. Archaically "ace" was used to mean
any point scored.
7. BACKHAND - The side of the body opposite the player's racket hand for court position. Any shot hit with the back of
the racket, which is the side of the racket facing the racket hand with a standard grip, is considered a stroke. The
right side of the racket is the "back" of the racket for a right-handed player holding the racket ahead, while the
court to the player's left is the backhand side.
8. SMASH - Hard-hit overhead shot that forces the shuttle sharply downward. Badminton's primary attacking stroke.
9. SERVE (SERVICE) - At the start of a rally, a stroke is used to put the shuttlecock into play.
10. RALLY - A series of one or more strokes beginning with the serve and ending when the shuttle is no longer in play.
BACKHAND In court position, the side of the body opposite the player's racket hand. Any shot hit with the back of
the racket, which is the side of the racket facing the racket hand with a standard grip, is considered a stroke. The
right side of the racket is the "back" of the racket for a right-handed player holding the racket ahead, while the
court to the player's left is the backhand side.

Activity 3: Let’s get into it….

The presentation discusses how badminton evolved and developed. The present badminton regulations (i.e., court size)
have resulted in modifications for players' performances with longer matches integrating more aggressive playing styles,
different tactical patterns, and shorter time between strokes during longer rallies.
