Skills and Rules
Dadminton is a tennis-like game
played with light strong rackets that
are used to strike a shuttlecock, (a
feather cork missile) back and forth,
before it hits the ground across a high
net within a rectangular court.
What is badminton?
Playing consists of volleying (hitting) the shuttle back and
forth over the net without allowing it to hit the ground.
It flies slowly when hit gently. But when hit hard and
timed perfectly it may travel at more than 300 kilometers
per hour.
Only one attempt on the serve is allowed. If the serve fails,
then the opponent will do the serve.
