Etiquettes of the Game
Good badminton etiquette means keeping a calm temperament,
irrespective of how cross or frustrated a player may become while facing adversity or
victory on the court.
 BE CONSIDERATE and COOPERATE: During warm-up
exercises, be sure that each player should be given ample
opportunity of time to hit variety of shots before the match begins.
 FIRM GRIP: Always secure the gripping of your hands in the
racket for the safety of everyone in the court.
 BE FAIR: Treating opponents justly will most often get the same
response when the situation is reversed.
 MUTUAL RESPECT: There will be opponents call and do it
without arguments. If in doubt, consider re-playing the point.
 DO NOT TALK: Making noises or deliberately distract an
opponent during play is completely unacceptable and considered
very rude.
 BE MINDFUL: showing respect to other games in progress will also keep you
safe. Passing through a proper well clear of the sidelines and back boundary
lines should always be practiced.
  BE FRIENDLY: Pick up the shuttlecock when it lands in your half of the court and
pass it back to your opponent in a friendly manner. When serving, make sure
your opponent is ready!
 SPORTSMANSHIP: Whether a player wins or loses the match she should
always shake hands with the opponent when the match is completed.
