Shuttlecock
Net
A mesh net divides the badminton court
into two sides. A badminton net is placed
lower than a volleyball net at five feet and
one inch high on the sides and five feet
high in the center. The length may vary
depending on whether doubles or singles
are playing, with singles reaching 17 feet
and doubles reaching 22 feet. The net is 30
inches wide with a 3-inch white tape
doubled over the top.
Facilities
The badminton court should be 44 feet
long by 22 feet wide if playing doubles,
and 44 feet long by 17 feet wide for
singles. If the facility is indoors, there
needs to be enough height for the
shuttlecock to be able to float across the
net without hitting the ceiling. This height
will vary depending on the strength of the
players.
