PHYSICAL PROWSS AND SKILL
Badminton is a racquet
sport played using racquets
to hit a shuttlecock across
a net.
It may be played with larger teams,
the most common forms of the game
are "singles" (with one player per side)
and "doubles" (with two players per
side).

Badminton is often played as a casual outdoor

activity in a yard or on a beach; formal games are
played on a rectangular indoor court. Points are
scored by striking the shuttlecock with the
racquet and landing it within the opposing side's
half of the court
TWO KINDS OF
SERVICE
 1. HIGH SERVE
High serve is used when you want to force your
opponent to run to the back of the court by
hitting the shuttlecock toward the rear end of the
court (sometimes the corner).
A good high serve will usually save you from
receiving a smash from your opponent.
 2. LOW SERVE
The low serve is used to bring the opponent
forward by hitting the shuttlecock toward the
front of the court.
If you managed to send a fabulous low serve, the
opponent would have to dash forward and move
under the shuttle to return it.
Depending on the quality of the return, you might
be able to return the shot with a net kill/smash
.
Footwork is
another vital skill for
badminton.
You have to
continually adjust
your speed according
to the speed of the
shuttlecock.
The players have
limited space to
move around, so
good footwork is
imperative.
COURT
The court is rectangular and divided into halves by a
net. Courts are usually marked for both singles and
doubles play, although badminton rules permit a court
to be marked for singles only.

The doubles court is wider than the singles court, but both
are of the same length. The exception, which often causes
confusion to newer players, is that the doubles court has a
shorter serve-length dimension.
The legal bounds of
a badminton court
during various
stages of a rally for
singles and doubles
games
When the server serves, the shuttlecock must
pass over the short service line on the
opponents' court or it will count as a fault. The
server and receiver must remain within their
service courts, without touching the boundary
lines, until the server strikes the shuttlecock.
The other two players may stand wherever they
wish, so long as they do not block the vision of
the server or receiver.
 At the start of a match, the
shuttlecock is cast and the
side towards which the
shuttlecock is pointing serves
first. Alternatively, a coin may
be tossed, with the winners
choosing whether to serve or
receive first, or choosing
which end of the court to
occupy first, and their
opponents making the leftover
the remaining choice.
