Badminton (Objectives, History Terminologies)

OVERVIEW OF THE TOPIC

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 with their racquet so that it passes
over the net and lands in their opponent’s half of the court. Each side may only strike the
shuttlecock once before it passes over the net. A rally ends once the shuttlecock has struck the
floor.
