 Badminton

WHAT IS BADMINTON? • is a racquet 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

(birdie)with their racquet 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 each side may only strike the
shuttlecock once before it passes over the
net.

HISTORY
• The beginnings of Badminton can
be traced to mid-18th century
British India, where it was created
by British military officers.
• Being particularly popular in the
British garrison town Poona (now
Pune), the game also came to be
known as Poona.
• This game was taken by retired
officers back to England where it
developed and rules were set out.
• The new sport was launched in 1873 at the
Badminton House, Gloucestershire, owned
by the Duke of Beaufort.
• The game's official name became
Badminton.
• The International Badminton Federation
(IBF) was established in 1934 by Canada,
Denmark, England, France, the
Netherlands, Ireland, New Zealand,
Scotland, and Wales as its founding
members.
• The BWF now governs international
badminton and develops the sport
globally.
WHO WAS THE FAMOUS PLAYER OF ALL TIME?

FEMALE
Ratchanok Intanon
is a Thai badminton player who became the first
Thai to become No.1 in women's singles. She is known
for her relaxed hitting motion and light footwork, which
has been described as 'balletic' by commentators such as
Gillian Clark. She became the world champion in
women's singles in 2013.
MALE
Lin Dan
Topping the list of the greatest
badminton players ever is none other
than Lin Dan. A former Chinese player
who holds a record of 666 wins to 131
titles, he is widely considered the
greatest badminton player ever. Having
numerous career titles to his name, Dan
has also ranked number one in the
rankings.

A racket, or racquet, is a sports implement
used for striking a ball or shuttlecock in
games such as squash, tennis, racquetball,
badminton and padel. In the strictest
sense a racket consists of a handled frame
with an open hoop across which a network
of strings is stretched tightly.
A shuttlecock (also called a birdie or
shuttle) is a high-drag projectile used in
the sport of badminton. It has an open
conical shape formed by feathers or plastic
(or a synthetic alternative) embedded into
a rounded cork (or rubber) base.
Badminton nets run the entire
width of the court (20’ | 6.1 m)
and are placed over the doubles
sidelines, even when singles games
are played. The net is 5’1” | 1.55
m high at the edges and sags
slightly at the center resulting in a
height of 5’ | 1.52 m. Badminton
nets are split into a 1:1 ratio from
the floor to the top providing a 2.5’
| .76 m opening below and an
equal mesh surface above.
Variations of badminton nets come
in polyethylene, nylon, and vinyl.
Badminton courts are rectangular
and are divided in half by a center
net. Regardless of the game type,
courts are usually marked for both
singles or doubles games. Both play
styles require the same court
length of 44’ | 13.4 m, but double
(full) courts are 20’ | 6.1 m wide
and single courts are reduced to
17’ | 5.18 m; shrinking by 1.5’ | .46
m on both sides. Service courts are
split by a center line dividing the
width of the court and are set back
from the net.
Nylon and polyester sports t-shirts are excellent
options for badminton apparel. On the other hand,
avoid cotton t-shirts and shorts as they may get
heavy and will do you more harm in a game of
badminton. By choosing a lightweight Yonex
tournament-style t-shirt, you will enhance your
speed.
Ideally you should be looking for neutral shoes
with a relatively thin sole which keeps you stable
and low to the ground. Cushioning throughout the
foot will reduce the chance of injuries and strain
when landing from high jumps. Your badminton
shoes should not slow you down.
• At the beginning of a game (0-0), and
when the servers score is even, the
server will serve from the right service
court. When the servers score is odd,
the server serves from the left service
court.
• If the server wins a rally, the server
scores a point and serves again from
the alternate service court.
• If the receiver wins a rally, they score a
point and serve from the appropriate
service court – left if their score is odd,
and right if their score is even.
• In doubles, if the serving side wins a rally, the same
player continues to serve, but s/he changes service
courts so that s/he serves to each opponent in turn.
• The opponents remain in their service court until they
win a rally.
• If the opponents win the rally and their new score is
even, the player in the right service court serves; if
odd, the player in the left service court serves.
• The players' service courts are determined by their
positions at the start of the previous rally, not by
where they were standing at the end of the rally.
• A consequence of this system is that, each time a side
regains the service, the server will be the player who
did not serve last time.
 1. Serving

Basic Skills
Grip
A. Grip
1. Forehand – with the racket head
perpendicular to the floor, shake hands with
the grip so the “V” formed by the thumb and
forefinger is on the top of the
handle.
2. Backhand – using a forehand grip, rotate the
hand slightly so the thumb is
along and parallel to the wide side of the
handle.
B. Footwork
Footwork
1. Move toward the shot with short steps
and end with a long stride.
2. In the ready position the racket is held
high, the knees are slightly bent, and the
body weight is on the balls of the feet.
C. Strokes
Strokes
By using the same motion for all shots, the
opponent is unable to detect what shot you are
going to make until the bird is actually hit. A good
wrist action allows more power and control with
much less effort.
1. Clear – a shot used to drive your opponent away from
the net or forecourt or to slow the game. The bird
should fly above the opponent’s reach and fall within
one foot of the baseline.
2. Smash – an attacking shot made at the limit of one’s
upward reach and slightly in front of the shoulder. At the
moment of contact, the arm and wrist come down forcibly.
3. Drive – A flat shot kept as low as possible and is
second only to the smash as an attacking shot.
4. Drop Shot – any shot that drops immediately after
crossing the net. The descent of the bird is controlled with
little follow-through.
5. Net Shot – any shot played as near to the net as
possible, controlled by wrist and forearm. The hairpin shot
is an example of a net shot.
D. Serve
1. High and deep (singles) – take a position near and on the
proper side of the center line and about four feet behind the
short service line. Drop the bird on the racket side and swing the
racket forward.

2. Low and short (doubles) – take a position closer to the

front service line. The racket is swung forward with little follow-
through.

3. Drive (flick) – a quick snap of the wrist in the backhand grip

with the bird held directly in front of the body. The bird travels in a
direct line at the receiver.
