of materials. Depending on the material selection, this can result
in different combinations of racket weight, balance points and
string tensions.
Shuttlecock- a cork to which feathers are attached to form a
cone shape, or a similar object of plastic, struck with rackets
⦁ Plastic shuttlecock is for beginners. They tend to travel
short distance as they are heavier.
⦁ Feathered shuttlecocks are used at all competitive
tournaments
Shoes- should be lightweight, grip the floor well, gives good
cushioning effect and good support.
11
Clothes- comfortable T-shirts and shorts, that don’t hinder your
movement are ideal to play Badminton. A cotton round-neck or a
collar t-shirts with a pair of light shorts are usually preferred.
Accessories:
⦁ Grip- made of cloth or synthetic fiber absorbs sweat and
provides you a drier feel.

absorb sweat. They also prevent your feet from slipping
inside your shoes. Avoid wearing Nylon socks that don’t

stops the sweat and hair from getting into your eyes while
playing.
12
⦁ Wrist band- prevents your sweat from flowing to
your racket handle.

1 How To Play
Badminton
Rules:
⦁ A player must wait until his opponent is ready before serving. If the
opponent attempts a return then he is ruled having been ready.
⦁ The feet of both players must remain in a stationary position until
the serve is made. Your feet can not be touching the line at this
time.
⦁ It is not a fault if you miss the shuttle while serving.
⦁ The shuttle cannot be caught and slung with the racket.
⦁ A player cannot hold his racket near the net to ward off a
downward stroke by his opponent or to interfere with his racket.

15
Faults:
⦁ The shuttle, at the instant of being hit is higher than the servers
waist or the head of the racket is higher than the servers racket
hand.
⦁ The shuttle does not land in the correct service court.
⦁ The server's feet are not in the service court or if the feet of the
receiver are not in the court diagonally opposite the server.
⦁ The server steps forward as he/she serves.
⦁ Any player balking or feinting his opponent before serve or
during serve.

16
⦁ A serve or shot that lands outside the court
boundaries, passes under or through the net,
touches any other obstructions or a players
body or clothing. The boundary and service lines
are considered in play.
⦁ The shuttle in play is struck before it crosses the
net to the striker's side of the net. You may
follow through over the net.
⦁ A player touching the net or its supports with his
body or racket while the shuttle is in play.
⦁ Hitting the shuttle twice in succession by a
player or team.
17
Scoring System:
⦁ A match consists of the best of 3 games of 21 points.
⦁ 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.
⦁ The side winning a game serves first in the next game.

18
19
Singles:
⦁ At the beginning of the game (0-0) and when the server’s
score is even, the server serves from the right service court.
When the server’s score is odd, the server serves from the left
service court.
⦁ If the server wins a rally, the server scores a point and then
serves again from the alternate service court.
⦁ If the receiver wins a rally, the receiver scores a point and
becomes the new server. They serve from the appropriate
service court – left if their score is odd, and right if it is even.
20
Doubles:
⦁ A side has only one ‘set’.
⦁ The service passes consecutively to the players as shown
in the diagram.
⦁ At the beginning of the game and when the score is even,
the server serves from the right service court. When it is
odd, the server serves from the left court.
⦁ If the serving side wins a rally, the serving side scores a
point and the same server serves again from the alternate
service court.
21
⦁ If the receiving side wins a rally, the receiving side scores a
point. The receiving side becomes the new serving side.
⦁ The players do not change their respective service courts until
they win a point when their side is serving.

22
Frame- It consists of the head, the stringed
area, the throat, the shaft and the handle.
Head- The head of the racket is the ring of
material that holds the strings in place. It can
be oval or more rounded, and has holes in its
perimeter though which the strings are
laced.
Stringed area- is made up of nylon or
carbon fiber string that is interwoven to
form the face of the racket.
Shaft- Often made of a composite material
such as graphite, the shaft can be stiffer or
more flexible based on the needs of the
player.
Handle- connects to the shaft and is used
to hold the racket. The handle is covered
with a material called the grip.

“ What is badminton
stance?
It is the way you stand when
retrieving certain shots from
your opponent.
3 Types of badminton stances:
• Attacking stance
• Defensive stance
• Net stance

26
1. Attacking stance
Hitting forehand strokes via the
attacking stance enables you to hit
powerful shots. It also enables you
to recover quickly after you
perform your shot.
To get into attacking stance:
• Turn your body facing the side of the
court.
• Place your racket leg behind; non-
racket leg forward.
• Both legs should be shoulder width
apart.
• Raise your racket and non-racket arm.
27
2. Defensive stance
When you’re on a defensive stance,
you can cover wider angles. For
example, you’ll find it a lot
easier to retrieve smashes hit to your
body, left hand side, or right hand
side.
To get into defensive stance:
• Face your body to the front of the court.
• Place your racket in front of you, around
waist height, and pointing slightly
forward.
• Raise your non-racket arm for better
balance.
28
3. Net stance
The net stance enables you to take the
shuttle at the highest point when you’re
at the net. When exchanging net shots,
every millisecond counts! So make sure
you take the shuttle as early as possible.

To get into net stance:

• Place your racket foot forward; non-
racket foot at the back.
• Place your racket in front of your body,
slightly above waist height.
• Raise your non-racket arm for body
balance.
• Place your body weight slightly forward
and get ready to pounce forward.

Badminton Serve
can be performed using 2 methods (high serve and low serve),
depending on where you want the shuttlecock to land.

High serve Low serve

This type of serve is usually
executed when you want the
shuttle to land at the back end
of the court.
Remember:
A good high serve must have
the shuttle dropping steeply
downwards at the back end of
the court.
The low serve is used when you
want the shuttlecock to land in
front of the court (in front of
your opponent).
Remember:
A good low service will have the
flying shuttlecock just above
the net.

- is often known as the
‘winning shot’.
- It’s used with the
intention to end a rally.
- one of the most powerful
badminton shots that is
fired from a steep angle.

35
In order to minimize your risks and
ensure your smash works towards
your advantage, you should:
⦁ Get behind the shuttle as early as
possible
⦁ Maintain extremely good body
balance before you smash
⦁ Make sure that your opponent is
off-guard.

36

of the badminton smash.

other side) can sometimes be
the ‘killer shot’.

38
6. Badminton net kill
- is a useful skill to end a rally
when if your opponent
executes a poor quality net
shot.
Remember:

that is too high, strike with a net kill!

7. Defensive badminton net lift

difficult to retrieve your
opponent’s badminton
shot’s along the net,
perform the defensive lift.

shuttle high up to your

40
8. Badminton drive

horizontally across the net. One of
the main reasons to hit the drive is
to increase the pace of the game.
