Object of the Game Badminton (2nd ppt)
 The game of badminton -consists of two to four players
(singles or doubles).
 The aim of badminton is to hit the shuttle with your
racket so that it passes over the net and lands inside your
opponent’s half of the court.
 Play begins from the right half court. Players must hit the
shuttlecock into the diagonal opposite court.
 History of Badminton
 Badminton was first called as Poona. It was developed
from a children’s game called battledore and shuttlecock.
The object of this game was to see how long a group
could volley the shuttlecock by hitting it with the
battledore, or paddle. This cooperative, non-competitive
game was originally played without a net.
 1860s, - when some British officers in India who were
stationed at 'Kirkee' near the city of 'Poona' (now known
as Pune city) used to play a game which was very similar
to badminton and the game was known as the 'Poona'
game at that time.
 1870s, -These soldiers played with Battledores (Paddles)
which was used to hit the shuttlecock and had also added
a net in between the players. When these British soldiers
returned back home at Gloustershire County in the they
continued to play this 'Poona' badminton game.
 In 1873, the Duke of Beaufort held a lawn party in his
country place, called Badminton. A game of Poona was
played on that day and it became popular among the
elite people of British society. The new party sport
became known as "the Badminton game" and started to
grow popular.
 The year 1877,- is of historic significance for badminton,
as the 'Bath Badminton Club', the first badminton club
ever, was formed and also the first official set of rules
were developed.
 1934 -The International Badminton Federation (IBF) was
formed in with 9 founding members.
 - England- Ireland- Scotland- Wales- Denmark- Holland-
Canada- New Zealand- France
 Major international tournaments
 Thomas Cup which is for Men,
 Uber Cup which is for Women started to be held.
 1992- Badminton was officially granted Olympic status in
the Barcelona Games. From 9 founding members, IBF
now have over 150 member countries.
 Facilities and Equipment of Badminton
 Racquet– used to hit the bird, the racquet is shaped like a
tennis racquet and has strings, but weighs much less. The
frame of the racket, including the handle, is not to exceed
680 mm (26.75 inches) in overall length, and 230 mm (9
inches) in overall width. The overall length of the head is
not to exceed 290 mm. Most racquets are made from
light man-made materials such as aluminum or graphite,
and are strung with synthetic material such as nylon.
 Shuttle, Shuttlecock, Bird, Birdie -whatever it is called, it
is badminton's version of a tennis ball. It has a small ball
at the front to give it speed, and feathers protruding from
it to help it float when it is hit high into the air. An official
shuttlecock must have 14-16 feathers and are usually
made from a goose or duck and from the left wing of the
bird only.
 Shoes – special court shoes are worn to allow players to
move quickly across the court, and to give them traction
for quick movements around
 Net -plays an important role in badminton matches. The
Badminton World Federation’s Laws of Badminton
provide specific standards for net height, width, and
construction. An official badminton net must measure 5
feet high in the center, and 5 feet, 1 inch at the sides. The
net attaches to vertical posts on either side of the court.
The net should measure 30 inches from bottom to top,
and must consist of a uniform, dark, colored mesh. The
net should have a white tape running along the top to
make the net’s full height visible to players and officials.
 Badminton Court - shall be a rectangle laid out with lines
of 40mm wide, preferably in white or yellow color. The
Badminton Court Dimensions are of 13.4m in length and
6.1m in width.
  Rules of the Game
 Scoring System - Every time you win a rally, you get a
point.
• The winner of a badminton match is the player(s) who win
two games out of three.
• A game is won by being the first to reach 11, 15 or 21 points.
• Each game must be won by at least two points and a
number of systems are available for extending a game where
a score of 10-10, 14-14 or 20-20 has been reached.
• The server is not allowed to serve until his opponent is
ready. If the opponent attempts to return service, he is
deemed to have been ready.
• Both the server and the opponent receiving the serve are
required to stand so that some part of both feet remains in
contact with the surface of the court while in a stationary
position until the service has been delivered.
• Every time there is a serve – there is a point scored.
• The side winning a rally adds a point to its score.
• At 20 all, the side which gains a 2 point lead first, wins that
game.
• At 29 all, the side scoring the 30th point, wins that game.
• When you’re saying the score, always say the server’s score
first.
• The side winning a game serves first in the next game
• If players commit an error in the service court, the error is
corrected when the mistake is discovered.
 Serving - Serving is how you start the rally
 Receiver- is the person who hits the second shot in the
rally. In doubles, the receiver’s partner is not allowed to hit
this shot.
 How to serve
 In badminton, the serve must be hit in an upwards
direction, with an underarm hitting action. You are not
allowed to play a "tennis style" serve.
 The main rule here is that when you hit the shuttle, it must
be below your waist. To be exact, the rules define this to
be a height level with the lowest part of your ribcage. In
other words, you can serve from a bit higher than the top
of your shorts, but not much.
 Service courts- The service courts are smaller box shapes
inside the court.
 Two Service Courts - your right service court, and your
left service court.
 Doubles Service Courts. They are wider, because they use
the outside side line (remember: the doubles court is
wider); and they are shorter, because they use the inside
back line.
 How service courts are used
 The server must stand inside a service court. The receiver
must stand inside the diagonally opposite service court.
 The serve must travel into the diagonally opposite service
court.
 If the serve is going to land outside the service court, then
the receiver should let it fall to the floor. If the receiver hits
the serve, then the rally continues even if the serve had
been going out.
 The server and receiver must stay inside their service
boxes until the server contacts the shuttle with his racket.
After that, they can leave the boxes immediately and move
anywhere on court.
 Deciding who gets to serve first
 In a major tournament, a coin toss is used to decide which
side will serve first.
 In more casual club or league games, you usually just
throw the shuttle up in the air, let it land, and see which
side it points towards: that side serves first.
 Position of Server and Receiver in Doubles Match
 In a doubles match between A & B against C & D. A & B
won the toss and decided to serve. A to serve to C. A shall
be the initial server while C shall be the initial receiver.
 Love All 1-0, 1-1, 2-1, 2-2, 3-2 ,3-3
 Note:
 The order of server depends on the score odd or even
same as in singles.
 The service courts are changed by the servicing side only
when a point is scored. In all other cases, the players
continue to stay in their respective service court from
where they played previous rally. This shall guarantee
alternate server.
  Singles, Doubles, and Mixed Doubles
 You can have either two or four players on a badminton
court: one player on each side, or a team of two players
on each side. Singles- One-against-one, Doubles- two-
against-two
 Five Types of Badminton -Men’s singles ,Women’s singles
Men’s doubles , Women’s doubles , Mixed doubles (each
team is a man and a woman)
 Men’s doubles and women’s doubles - are also called level
doubles.
 Interval and Change of Ends
• When the leading score reaches 11 points, players have a 60
second interval.
• A 2 minute interval between each game is allowed.
• In the third game, players change ends when the leading
score reaches 11 points.

the start of each rally; also called a "service".
 Low serve -The low serve travels into the receiver's

possible, or they will be attacked fiercely. In doubles, the
straight low serve is the most frequently used service
variation.
 High serve- The high serve is hit very high, so that the
shuttle falls vertically at the back of the receiver's service
