1. HISTORY OF BADMINTON
- Badminton is a game played in singles and doubles. It can be considered as one of the

oldest sports in the world. It is said to be related to the early game played in ancient Greece,
China, and India called battledore and shuttlecock. It was developed from the game played
by the British army officers stationed in India in the 1860s which was known as poona. It was
first played in Gloucestershire, England in 1873. The Duke of Beaufort introduced the game
to the English society at a garden party in his country estate. In 1899, the first unofficial all-
England badminton championships for men were held. The following year, the first
badminton tournament for women was arranged.
In 1934, the world governing body of badminton was formed. It was called the
Badminton World Federation or BWF From then on, badminton has also been played
by the people in Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, and Denmark In 197 the first world
championships launched by BIXF were held. It was followed by the various badminton
tournaments held in different parts of several countries.
Badminton can be played in the court or lawn, Players use lightweight rackets and
a shuttlecock when playing the game. Badminton may be played in singles or double.

1. A game can be played by two players in singles or four players in doubles.
2. For a badminton match to be considered official, it has to take place in a court with the
following dimensions: 20 feet by 44 feet. The net must also be placed through the middle of
the court at five feet high.
3. The shuttlecock must hit within the parameters of the opponent's court in order to score
a point.
4. A point is given to the opponent if the shuttlecock hits the net or lands outside the court.
5. Players must serve diagonally across the net to their opponent. As points are won, then
serving stations move from one side to the other. If a player's first serve goes outside the
court, then his or her opponent gets the point. There is no second serve allowed.
6. No overarm serve is allowed. Players should hit a serve underarm and below the waist.
7.In order to determine who will serve first among the players and which side of the court
the opponent will start from, each game starts with a toss.
8.Players are allowed to move around the court once the shuttlecock is ‘’live’’
9.The opponent receives the point it a player touches the net with his or her racket or any
body part.
10. A fault is called in the following cases:

11. A referee makes sure that the players follow the rules in a badminton game. He or she
overlooks the game by sitting on a high chair. He or she also has overriding calls on
infringements and faults. Line judges are stationed to monitor if the shuttlecock lands in or
out.
12. Unforeseen or accidental circumstances are also called and managed by the referee.
Some of these circumstances include the following:
 shuttlecock getting stuck in the net
 server serving out of turn
 one player was not ready
 a decision which is too close to call
13. Two rest periods are allotted for the game. The first one lasts for 90 seconds and is set
right after the first game. The second one lasts for five minures and is set after the second
game.
14. 14. If any player keeps on breaking the rules, the referee has the power to deduct some
points in his or her score with persisting fouls receiving a torfeit of the set or even the entire
match.

OBJECT OF THE GAME

The object of the game is to serve and hit the shuttlecock over the net with enough skill and
accuracy so that the opponent will not be able to return the shot.
Proper racket handling in badminton is crucial for effective play and to minimize the risk of
injury. Here are some key tips on how to handle a badminton racket correctly:

4. PROPER RACKET HANDLING

Grip Type:
There are two main grip types in badminton: the forehand grip and the backhand grip.
Forehand Grip: Hold the racket handle as if you were shaking hands with it. Your thumb
should be on one side of the handle, and your fingers on the other. The racket face should
be perpendicular to the ground.
Backhand Grip:
To switch to a backhand grip, rotate your hand slightly on the handle so that the racket face
points more towards the ground. Your thumb will move closer to the back of the handle.
Finger Positioning:
Place your fingers comfortably around the handle with a slight space between your palm and
the handle. Your fingers should provide most of the control.
Thumb Placement:
Keep your thumb in a comfortable position on the back of the handle, opposite your fingers.
The thumb helps in providing stability and control.
Wrist Position:
Maintain a neutral wrist position for most shots to ensure accuracy and control.
For some shots, like smashes or slices, you may need to adjust your wrist angle slightly, but
avoid excessive wrist movement, as it can lead to injuries.
Ready Position:
In the ready position, hold the racket in a relaxed grip with both hands in front of
your body.
Your non-racket hand should be used for balance and quick movement.

5. DIFFERENT SERVICES
Serve: The serve is how a point begins. It is typically an underhand or overhand shot,
depending on the rules being followed. In badminton, the serve must be delivered
diagonally to the opponent's service court. There are specific rules governing the serve's
height, placement, and order (serving side and receiving side).
Flick Serve: This is a deceptive variation of the serve, where the server pretends to deliver a
short serve but instead flicks it deeper into the opponent's court. This can catch the receiver
off-guard.
Drive Serve: This is a fast and flat serve that travels close to the net and is aimed at putting
pressure on the receiver. It's often used in doubles to prevent the opponent from attacking.
Short Serve: This serve is aimed at landing the shuttlecock just over the net, close to the
service line. It's used to deny the receiver the opportunity for a powerful return.
Long Serve: The long serve is aimed at sending the shuttlecock deep into the opponent's
service court. It's often used to gain a positional advantage or put the receiver under
pressure.
High Serve: A high serve is used to send the shuttlecock high into the air, making it difficult
for the receiver to attack immediately. It can be a defensive or tactical serve.
Low Serve: The low serve is delivered close to the net, with the shuttlecock just clearing the
net tape. It's used to initiate rallies and provide less time for the opponent to react.
Service Fault: A service fault occurs when the server violates the rules governing the serve.
Common faults include serving too high, not striking the shuttlecock below the waist, and
not delivering the serve diagonally.
Let: A let is called when a point needs to be replayed due to unforeseen interruptions, such
as the shuttlecock hitting the net and going over, or if the receiver is not ready when the
server serves.
Service Change: In doubles, service alternates between the two pairs after each point is
scored. This ensures that both teams have an equal opportunity to serve.
