3.2 Topics/Discussion (with Assessment/Activities)

3.2.1 History/ Badminton Events/ Drills

Badminton is named after the

duke of Beaufort in Gloucestershire,
England, the place where the game was
first played.

Brief History of Badminton

Badminton was known in ancient Greece and Egypt – a children’s game
called battledore and shuttlecock – in which two players try to hit a feathered
shuttlecock back and forth with tiny rackets. Popularity for the badminton was
recognized only after badminton’s Olympic debut at Barcelona in 1992. In the
1860’s it was adopted by British Army officers assigned in India. The officers took
the game back to England, where it became a success at a party given by the Duke
of Beaufort in 1873 at his estate called “Badminton” in Gloucestershire.

Badminton Events
 Doubles
Both pairs will try to gain and maintain the attack, smashing downwards
when possible. Whenever the possible, a pair will support an ideal attacking
formation with one player hitting down from the rear court, and his partner in the
midcourt intercepting all smash returns except the lift. If the rear court attacker
plays a drop shot, his partner will move into the forecourt to threaten the net reply.
If a pair cannot hit downwards, they will use flat strokes in an attempt to gain the
attack. If a pair is forced to lift or clear the shuttlecock, then they must defend: they
will adopt a side-by-side position in the rear midcourt, to cover the full width of
their court against the opponent’s smashes. In doubles, players generally smash to
the middle ground between two players in order to take advantage of confusion
and clashes.
At high levels of play, the backhand serve has become popular to the extent
that forehand serves have become fairly rare at a high level of play. The straight
low serve is used most frequently, in an attempt to prevent the opponents gaining
the attack immediately. Flick serves are used to prevent the opponent from
anticipating the low serve and attacking is decisively.
At high levels of play, doubles rallies are extremely fast. Men’s doubles is the
most aggressive form of badminton, with a high proportion of powerful jump
smashes.

 Singles
The singles court is narrower than the doubles court, but the same length.
Since one person needs to cover the entire court, singles tactics are based on forcing
the opponent to move as much as possible, this means that singles strokes are
normally directed to the corners of the court. Players exploit the length of the court
by combining lifts and clears with drop shots and net shots. Smashing is less
prominent in singles than in doubles because players are rarely in the ideal position
to execute a smash, and smashing often leaves the smasher vulnerable if the smash
is returned.

The first badminton club in the US was the

Badminton Club of New York, formed in 1878. The

At high levels of paly, singles demand extraordinary fitness. Singles is a game
of patient positional maneuvering, unlike the all – out aggression of doubles.

 Mixed doubles

C. M. D. Hamo-ay
 3 | Games and Sports 4

In mixed doubles, both pairs typically try to maintain an attacking formation

with the woman at the front and the man at the back. This is because the male
players are usually substantially stronger, and can therefore produce smashes that
are more powerful. As a result, mixed doubles require greater tactical awareness
and subtler positional play. Clever opponents will try to reverse the ideal position,
by forcing the woman towards the back or the man towards the front. In order to
protect against this danger, mixed players must be careful and systematic in their
shot selection.

At high levels of play, the formations will generally be more flexible:

the top women players are capable of playing powerfully from the back-court, and
will happily do so if required. When the opportunity arises, however, the pair will
switch back to the standard mixed attacking position, with the woman in front.

Drill
 Clearing
Stand at where the Doubles Service Line intersects with either the center
service line or the side singles line (clearing partner opposite side of the court in
same position (Position a and aa). Clear to your partner back and forth without
moving outside of an imaginary box around your feet of X distance (i.e. 2 feet
around you). This drill is good for accuracy to maintain a straight line.

 Clearing Corner to Corner

Start with the Drill 1. Player 1 (position a) hits to Player 2(position aa). Player
1 immediately moves to position c before Player 2 gets the bird. Player 2 hits the
bird to position c, and then immediately to position cc. Player 1 after getting to
position c will hit the bird to position cc. Player 2 arrives to cc in time to hit the bird
back to Player 1 at position c. Players continue to hit back and forth between c and
cc, then continue the routine back to a and aa. This drill is good for speed between
corners while doing clears and cross clears.
 Clearing Corner to Corner – no rest
In continuation with Drill 1.1, players go from corner to corner with their
clears and cross court clears with very little time between staying at the respective
corners. The players hit to the opposite corner that the bird came to them. IE, If
player 1 had the bird hit to them at corner a from corner aa, then they will hit the
bird to corner cc. Player 2 will then run over to corner cc and hit the bird to corner
c. The bird then will be hit to corner aa. Then to a, then to cc then to c. Players can
then reverse the drill so that the bird comes from opposite rotation.
 Hover Drill
Player 1 starts at the baseline (position a), while Player 2 starts at the net
(position dd). Player 1 continuously drops to Player 2 while Player 2 lift returns to
the baseline. Player 2 can lift along the baseline anywhere (across to position c) if
space permits, and Player 1 always drops to Player 2 at the same spot (position dd).
 Up and back with Hover
Player 1 now moves between the baseline and net (positions a and d).
dropping the bird to Player 2 in position dd. Sequence: Player 2 needs to lift to the
baseline, Player 1 drops to position dd, Player 2 does a net dop to position d, Player

C. M. D. Hamo-ay
 3 | Games and Sports 6

1 moves into the net to position d and drop returns back to Player 2, Player 2 then
lifts again to the baseline.
 Lift-Drop-Drop
Player 1 and Player 2 now both move between the net and the baseline.
Sequence: Player 1 at baseline drops to Player 2 at net, Player 2 drop returns, Player
1 comes into the net and lifts the bird to the baseline (then stays at the net and
hovers) forcing Player 2 to go back to baseline, Player 2 drops from the baseline to
Player 1 at the net, Player 1 drop returns and then heads back to the baseline while
Player 2 comes back into the net to lift.
 Net Drives
Players 1 and 2 face each other mid – court and drive the bird back and forth
with little foot movement. Focus on finger power/wrist action, control, and flat
hits.
 Net Drives with 3
Player 1 in the center of the court at one side; Player 2 and 3 on the other side
taking side by side formation. Player 1 drives with both Players 2 and 3 in random
order. Focus on readiness, control and flat shot.

racquet up), and then lunge in for a net kill (called hovering). Proceed back to the
baseline and start again.
Drill 2.0
Begin in the center of the court, and shallow lunge to each corner of court, and
then back to center. Concentrate on proper footwork (landing on the racquet foot
last with toe pointing in the direction of the lunge). Keep the racquet face up just

Badminton Basic
Grip
 Grip the racket as if
you were shaking
someone’s hand.
 Form a V with your
thumb and index finger

on the top of the

racket handle
 Spread your fingers
slightly along the
handle with the
index finger placed
higher
up the racket than
the thumb.
 Grip the racket firmly
but not too tightly.
 A tighter grip can lock the wrist. In
badminton you want a loose wrist to
quickly snap when striking the
shuttlecock or bird.
BACKHAND GRIP
 Place your thumb along the
flat side of the racket, higher up the
handle than your index finger.
 Put more pressure
on the racket with
your thumb when
swinging. This
allows you greater
reach for the
backhand shot.

C. M. D. Hamo-ay
 3 | Games and Sports 14

 Move your fingers closer together for the backhand shot than the
forehand grip, and hold the racket more firmly.

Strokes
Forehand and backhand
All strokes can be played either forehand or backhand. A player’s forehand
side is the same side as their playing hand: for a right-handed player, the forehand
side is their right side and the backhand side is their left side.
Forehand strokes are hit with the front of the hand leading (like hitting with
the palm).
 Underhand forehand (played near the net)
 Sidearm forehand (played near the sides of the net)
 Overhead forehand (played near the long service line/ back court)
Backhand strokes are hit with the back of the hand leading (like hitting with
the knuckles).
 Underhand backhand (played near the net)
 Sidearm backhand (played near the sides of the net)
 Overhead backhand (played near the long service line/ back court)

SERVE
Low Serve

C. M. D. Hamo-ay
3 | Games and Sports 15

 Played gently over the

net to land at the front
of your opponent’s
service court, near the
short service line.
 Serve passes low over
the net (hence the
name low serve).
 Used in both singles
and doubles. In
doubles, the low serve
is used more
frequently than any
other serve.

High Serve
 Played powerfully
upwards
 Shuttlecock travels
very high and falls
almost vertically
downwards at the
back of the receiver’s
service court
 Used frequently in
singles
 Can only be played
with a forehand action.

Flick serve

C. M. D. Hamo-ay
 3 | Games and Sports 16

 Played upwards, but

much more shallowly
than the high serve.
 Deprive the opponent
of time, forcing him to
hit the shuttlecock
when it’s behind his
body
 Used extensively in
doubles, and
occasionally in singles.

Drive Serve
 Played flat and fast
towards the back of
the receiver’s service
court, passing low
over the net.
 To provoke an
immediate reaction,
hoping that the
receiver will mishit the
shuttlecock.
 Almost never used by
professional players
because their
opponents are quick
enough to counter
attack the serve
consistently.
 Used extensively by
competitive players,
because many
opponents are unable
to handle them.

Badminton Shots
The choice of badminton shots is dependent on how close to the net the
shuttlecock is and where the opponent is and where the opponent is standing.
There are much better attacking options if the shuttlecock is above and close to the
net.

A. FOREHAND/BACKHAND SHOTS.
Forehand shot is made at the same side as the playing hand.
Backhand shot is made on the other side of the playing hand.
A right-handed player is his or her right side and the backhand shot is made
from his or her left side.
B. NET SHOT
Net shot can be played by hitting a high shuttlecock steeply downwards and
trying to win the rally immediately.
C. SMASH
Smash is played by hitting the shuttlecock downwards but still causing the
shuttlecock to go over the net. The player jumps upwards to produce a steeper
smash angle. Jump smashes are particular among men playing doubles.

D. CLEARS
Clear shot is played by hitting the shuttlecock high and to the back of the
opposition’s court.
E. DROP-SHOTS
Drop-shots are played so that the shuttlecock drops softly downwards into
the opponent’s fore court.
F. LIFTS

C. M. D. Hamo-ay
 3 | Games and Sports 19

Lifts are used when the shuttlecock is below net height and is used to “lift” or
hit, the shuttlecock upwards into the opponent’s court. It can be played from all
parts of the court. Alternative to a lift is to “push”, the shuttlecock gently hit back
to the net. If played in the fore court the shot is known as a “net-shot” and when
played in either the mid or rear court is known as a push or block shot.
G. DRIVE
Drive can be played when the shuttlecock is near to net height, these travel
flat and fast over the net into the opponents mid or rear court areas.
