HISTORY OF BADMINTON

The original game was played without a net; the main objective

was to volley a shuttlecock in the air between players using

battledores, or paddles.
Battledore and shuttlecock was not played competitively; it was

a cooperative to see how long a group of players could keep the

shuttlecock in the air.
The original game evolved to a game played by India called

Poona.

Rules of Badminton
1. Court
Badminton courts measure 44 feet long by 20 feet wide with a

center net line separation that creates a 22-feet-long by 20-feetwide area on each side.
Single side lines are marked 1 1/2 feet from the doubles sideline,

or outer boundary line.

Lines on the court marked 6 1/2 feet from the center line are the

short service lines.

Rules of Badminton
2. Scoring and Service
a) Singles
You score a point and serve again from the alternate service

court when your opponent makes a 'fault' or the shuttle

ceases to be in play because it touches the surface of your
opponent's side of court.
No points will be scored when you make a 'fault' or the

shuttles ceases to be in play because it touches the surface of

your side of court.The serving right will then be transferred to
your opponent.

Rules of Badminton
b) Doubles
If you are serving or receiving first at the start of any game, you

shall serve or receive in the right service court when your side or
your opponent's side scored an even number of points.
You shall serve from or receive in the left service court when your

side or your opponent's side has scored an odd number of points.

The

reverse

pattern

shall

apply

to

your

partner.

Rules of Badminton
3. Lets
'Let' is called by the umpire, or by a player (if there is no

umpire), to halt play.

A 'let' may be given for any unforeseen or accidental

occurrence.

Equipments of Badminton
1. Racket
Used to hit the bird, the racket is shaped like a tennis racket and

has strings, but weighs much less.

The frame of the racket, including the handle, is not to exceed 680

mm (26.75 inches) in overall length, and 230 mm (9 inches) in

overall width.
The overall length of the head is not to exceed 290 mm. Most

rackets are made from light man-made materials such as aluminum

or graphite, and are strung with synthetic material such as nylon.

2. Strings
The Optimum tension for power depends on the player String

tension is normally in the range of 80 N (recreational players) to

160 N (professionals).

3. Grip
The choice of grip allows a player to increase the thickness of his

rackets handle and choose a comfortable surface to hold.

There are two main types of grip: replacement grips and over

grips.
Made of leather toweling or synthetics.

4. Shuttlecock

A shuttle cock (shuttle, birdie) is a high-drag projectile, with an open

conical shape:the cone is formed from sixteen overlapping feathers
embedded into a rounded cork base.

The cork is covered with thin leather or synthetic material.

Synthetic shuttles (nylon) are often used by recreational players to

reduce their costs as feathered shuttles break easily.

5. Shoes
Special court shoes are worn to allow players to move quickly across the

court, and to give them traction for quick movements around the court.
The proper badminton shoes will have la little lateral support and a very

thin sole, lower a persons cent-re of gravity, and therefore result in fewer
injuries.
Comfort and soles that grip are essential.

Techniques of Badminton
1.. Strokes
Basically a stroke is the swing motion of your racket arm.
It is not a badminton shot. However youll need to perform these
strokes to hit certain shots.
The power of any badminton shot comes from how well you perform
your strokes (swing motion).

Techniques of Badminton
2. Position of the shuttlecock and receiving player

The choice of stroke depends on how near the shuttlecock is to the

net, whether it is above net height, and where an opponent is
currently positioned: players have much better attacking options if
they can reach the shuttlecock well above net height, especially if
it is also close to the net. In the forecourt, a high shuttlecock will be
met with a net kill, hitting it steeply downwards and attempting to
win the rally immediately.

Techniques of Badminton
2. Position of the shuttlecock
and receiving player
In the midcourt, a high shuttlecock will usually be met with a

powerful smash, also hitting downwards and hoping for an

outright winner or a weak reply. If the shuttlecock has dropped
lower, then a smash is impossible and a full-length, high clear is
difficult.

In the midcourt, a high shuttlecock will usually be met with a

powerful smash, also hitting downwards and hoping for an

outright winner or a weak reply. If the shuttlecock has dropped
lower, then a smash is impossible and a full-length, high clear is
difficult.

Techniques of Badminton
3. Vertical position of the shuttlecock
When the shuttlecock is well below net height, players have no

choice but to hit upwards. Lifts, where the shuttlecock is hit

upwards to the back of the opponents' court, can be played from
all parts of the court. If a player does not lift, his only remaining
option is to push the shuttlecock softly back to the net: in the
forecourt this is called a netshot; in the midcourt or rearcourt, it
is often called a push or block.

Techniques of Badminton
3. Vertical position of the shuttlecock
When the shuttlecock is near to net height, players can hit drives, which travel

flat and rapidly over the net into the opponents' rear midcourt and rearcourt.
Pushes may also be hit flatter, placing the shuttlecock into the front midcourt.
Drives and pushes may be played from the midcourt or forecourt, and are
most often used in doubles: they are an attempt to regain the attack, rather
than choosing to lift the shuttlecock and defend against smashes.
After a successful drive or push, the opponents will often be forced to lift the

shuttlecock.

Techniques of Badminton
4. Spin
The spinning motion you induce in a shuttle by slicing makes it

travels in a rectilinear path.

It further makes it difficult for your opponent to face and return it.

Techniques of Badminton
5. Biomechanics
The Biomechanics of Badminton The badminton jump smash is

an advanced technique in which the athlete jumps as high as

possible prior to completing the overhead smash shot. The
shuttle is hit with great power and speed in a downwards
trajectory into the opponent's court.

Techniques of Badminton
6. Other factors
When defending against a smash, players have three basic options: lift,

block, or drive. In singles, a block to the net is the most common reply.
The service is restricted by the Laws and presents its own array of

stroke choices.
The server can choose a low serve into the forecourt (like a push), or a

lift to the back of the service court, or a flat drive serve.

Techniques of Badminton
7. Deception
Often neglected by players and coaches; and never more so

than when players practices are dominated by mindless shot

routines

Strategy of Badminton
1. Singles
One simple badminton strategy often used in singles is to serve

long and high to your opponent's back court.

Throw in some disguised low serve occasionally and you might

just catch your opponent off guard and win a point outright.
Nowadays in professional men's singles, you seldom see them

use the long serve.

Strategy of Badminton
2. Doubles
Badminton doubles has an extremely different style of play

compared to badminton singles.

Two partners work together to retrieve the shuttle.
In professional badminton, youll realise that a singles player will

not be a doubles player at the same time.

Strategy of Badminton
3. Mixed Doubles
is actually very fun and enjoyable to play.
In mixed doubles, the women will normally always try to play in

the frontcourt area.

Her partner will then cover the mid and backcourt area. This is

assuming that the woman is not as strong as the man.

Organization of Badminton
1. Governing bodies
The Badminton World Federation (BWF) is the international governing

body for the sport of badminton recognised by the International Olympic

Committee IOC.
Founded in 1934 as the International Badminton Federation with nine
member
nations
(Canada, Denmark, England, France, Ireland, Netherlands, New
Zealand, Scotland and Wales), the BWF has since expanded to 176
member nations around the world.
On 24 September 2006, at the Extraordinary General Meeting in Madrid, it
was decided to adopt the new name Badminton World Federation (BWF).

Organization of Badminton
2. Competitions
World Cup was suspended since 1997. However, the BWF

revived the event in 2005 (with China as host) but only as an

invitational tournament.
China swept gold in all 5 categories.
World Grand Prix has been on hiatus since 2000.

Comparison with Tennis

A tennis court is larger than that of badminton. It measures 36 feet

by 78 feet, while that of badminton measures 20 feet by 44 feet.

A badminton racket is narrower all round and has a relatively

smaller head. It weighs about 100g compared to the 350g that a

tennis racket weighs.
A tennis player can manipulate the ball in so many ways by using

different racket spins.
