CHAPTER 1:

1. From your own knowledge and understanding, how would you define the sport badminton?
- A rectangular court that is divided by a net is used to play the racket game of badminton
between two opposed players (singles) or two opposing pairs (doubles).
2. Why do you think the British officers stationed in India invented the game “Poona”? What do
you think is the purpose?
- While stationed in India in the 1860s, British army commanders were first exposed to the local
variation of the game, which has been played for centuries. They added their own modifications
to the game, most notably the net, and gave it the name Poona or Poonah in honor of Pune, the
town where the military was stationed. On the other hand, Battledore and Shuttlecock, a kid's
game, served as the inspiration for Poona. This game's goal was to determine how long a team
could volley the shuttlecock by striking it with the battledore, or paddle.
3. How would you differentiate Recreational Activities between Sports Events? Cite examples.
- The terms "game" and "sport" are frequently confused. Sport and game, however, are
completely unrelated. While a sport just concerns one person's abilities and performance, a
game involves multiple players. Sport is a physical activity that is performed in accordance with
a set of rules. Sport has a connection to leisure activities, whether they are performed for fun,
competition, or both. A game has one or more players and is used for recreational activities. A
game is defined as a task that the participants attempt to complete while playing according to a
set of rules. Similar to sport, playing games is also done for fun.
4. Give 5 sentences that portray the importance of Sports Events such as Badminton in an
individual.
- Badminton Enhances Our Mental Health.
Engaging in any regular physical activity encourages the release of endorphins, which are our
body's natural feel-good, joyful hormones. In turn, this can enhance our general mood and sleep
while lowering stress, worry, and sadness.
5. If you were to become a coach in the future, how would you encourage a child to learn and play
badminton?
- If I were to start coaching badminton. I wouldn't advise a kid to take up badminton. I would
want them to choose to play badminton of their own free will, and I would do everything I could
to help them improve, but not at the expense of them not enjoying themselves on the court or
feeling obligated to participate. A child being "encouraged" to play a sport they didn't initially
chose to participate in never turns out well.
CHAPTER 2:
1. Create a poem/riddle/song that explains the importance of the facilities and equipment in
badminton
- I play my life like my kind of sport
I face opponents in badminton court
Racquet and shuttlecock on hand
Just flick the birdie to the other en

In high clear the quilled rubber flew

A sure defensive stance I often threw
Preventing a smash, parrying a score
Thus, the shuttle lands on the floor

The green court is wide and long

Knees must be fast and strong
Calculated serves oddly placed
Unreturned, I can score an ace

I seldom position myself at the back

Mostly in front to deflect all attacks
Dropshots to elude sharp drives
A kill will deflate opponents’ pride

In the middle, when the rally starts

That instant where I need to be smart
Flicked, pushed and dropped a net shot
The umpire called fault, although I was not

I may lose today, I might be in pain

But I’ll be back tomorrow to play again
I live my life like a badminton game
I play for fun and not for fame
2. What alternative would you suggest to children who wants to play badminton but lacks the
facilities and equipment of the sport?
- You can use a shoe and crumpled paper.
Explanation: play in the wall while using a slipper as a racket and crumpled paper as a shuttle
3. Differentiate facilities between equipment. Are the two the same? Why or Why not?
- They are not same
Explanation:
FACILITIES - is where the work or sports happens
EQUIPMENT - it is a tools used to do works and other things
4. Describe what happens when the school you study in lack facilities and equipment of the sport
you like to play. What ways would you suggest to better learn and understand the sport given the
situation?
- Students are impacted by school facilities in two different ways. First off, a student's capacity to
participate in extracurricular activities and other learning opportunities is constrained by a lack of
facilities. Second, inadequate facilities have a detrimental effect on instructors' job satisfaction,
which reduces their drive to teach.
CHAPTER 3:
1. Differentiate singles game between doubles game in terms of service court changes and court
rules.
- The number of players on the court, the court's size, and the service rules all differ between
singles and doubles in badminton. While there are two players on each end of the court in
doubles, there is only one player at each end of the court in singles.
2. Cite the importance of following the rules in a game.
- Competition is governed by agreements of understanding. Rules in sports specify what is
permitted or prohibited in circumstances on and off the court. The wearing of correct clothing
and the methods used to maintain score during games at various levels of play are both
governed by rules.
3. How would you explain the rules of badminton to a 10-year-old boy who wants to start playing
the sport? Design a hand out containing the rules in the simplest form.
- Please see the the separate page which is the answer in this question. Thank you.
4. Determine the value of service changes in the sport.
- Since playing is so interactive—we often play and connect with other people every time we
practice a sport—it offers us a sense of fulfillment and joy and can increase our confidence.
CHAPTER 4: REFLECTION

One of the best players at playing around the net is Lin Dan. It is exceedingly challenging for other

players to compete against him because of his tricks and ambiguity. In a scale 1-10 I would rate him

10/10 because of his ability to play a variety of badminton strokes, as well as his footwork speed and

stability. One of Lin Dan's unique qualities is his ability to smash well despite being late to the

shuttle.

However, Lin Dan's career, which spans two decades and includes two Olympic gold medals, five

world titles, and 666 career victories, is what makes him the best badminton player of all time. The

36-year-old has faced off against five different generations of Indian badminton players to provide a

notion of his longevity. On the other hand, Lin Dan's and all other successful badminton players'

footwork speed, steadiness, and capacity to play a variety of badminton strokes are some more

contributing elements.

Furthermore, even while talent is the unnoticed element and a sort of wildcard that can be

leveraged as an advantage to success, it is useless without effort. The sustaining element that keeps

you going and producing at a high level for extended durations is hard work.
