INTRODUCTION
Badminton is a sports racket that is played with
a shuttlecock or birdie as a projectile and where
the players are separated by a net that divides
the court into two equal parts. Points are scored
by landing the shuttle on your opponent’s side of
the court. Badminton is played as an outdoor
sport in several parts of the world. However, to
fully enjoy its potential, badminton should be
played indoors where the wind cannot
compromise the flight of the shuttle.
 Badminton, as we know it today, was,
according to most sources, invented and
developed by the British in the middle of the
19th century. The most widespread theory is
that it was invented in British India and then
went back to England, where it became popular
very fast. The Badminton Association of
England, founded on September 13, 1893, was
the first national badminton association created
HISTORY and it organized the first badminton
competition in 1899. The competition, called All
England Open Badminton Championships is
still one of the most important championships
of the year, mostly due to its long history and
its significance.

 Court dimensions

The badminton court is rectangular and it is divided by a net into two

equal rectangles. The standard setting for a court is to be marked for
both singles and doubles matches. The doubles court is wider than the
singles one, but both are the same length. The only exception to that
statement is that the doubles court has a different back serve line,
which is shorter than the singles one. 

Post rules
The posts have to be 1.55 m (5 ft 1 inch)
in height from the surface of the court.
Moreover, when the net is fully stretched
in the dimensions on the picture above,
the posts have to remain vertical. In
addition to that, the posts must be placed
on the double sidelines irrespective of
whether singles or doubles is being
played.
Net rules
Regarding the net, the
important rules are that the
top of the net from the surface
of the court shall be 1.525 (5
ft) meters at the center of the
court and 1.55 m (5 ft 1 inch)
over the side lines for doubles.

doubles. It is played to the best of three sets. Each set

If the game reaches 20-20, then a player must have

21, …) in order to win the set. If the scoreboard

the set.
 Serving diagonally

The most basic point for both types of matches is that you always serve
diagonally as happens in other racket sports like tennis. So, if you are serving
from the right side of the court, you will serve to the right side of the court of
your opponent, thus diagonally.

All the shuttle has to be below waist height when hitting the shuttle

SERVICE In order to perform the service correctly, it is mandatory that the shuttle is below
RULES waist height when it is being hit in the service movement. The waist is considered
to be an imaginary line around the body, at the same height as the lowest part of
the server’s bottom rib.

The racket head and the shaft have to be pointing down while serving

In addition to the shuttle being below waist height, another important element is
that the racket head and shaft have to be pointing down while serving.
The shots are not alternated between sides

In a rally, the shuttle must be hit by both teams

alternately. It means that your team cannot hit the
shuttle twice in a row, as that becomes a fault and the
point is therefore lost. The same obviously stands for
singles.

The receiving partner hits the shuttle after

FAULTS
the service RULES
The service is always performed diagonally and the
person staying in the diagonal side from the server is
the receiver. If for whatever reason, while playing
doubles, the partner of the receiver returns the service
instead of the receiver, that will be considered a fault
and the point will go to the serving team.
 The shuttle touches the person or the dress
of a player or touches any other object or
person outside of the court
If you are playing and your opponent manages to hit you
with the shuttle, it will be considered as your fault and
the point will go to him or her. Whenever the shuttle

FAULTS touches any other object or person outside of the court,

the fault is from the person that has hit the shuttle and
therefore the point goes to the opponent.
RULES The player touches the net or its supports
with racket, body or dress
Another cause of a fault is whenever a player touches the
net or its supports with racket, body or dress. In this
case, the fault is called instantly and the point goes to the
opponent.
 CHANGE OF ENDS RULES
Change of ends simply means that the teams or
individuals need to change sides of the court as it
is customary in most sports. This is to ensure that,
if there is a little advantage in one of the sides, that
advantage is lost by both sides being able to play
there.

The change of ends occurs always at the end of the

first game. At the end of the second game, if the
match goes to a third game, a change of end will
also occur. While playing the third game and in
order to keep equality, a change of ends will also
occur in the middle of the third game, when the
first of both sides reaches point number 11.
