Reading
Apart from encouraging the development of fine and gross motor skills, agility,
endurance, and hand-eye coordination, as almost all sports do, dual sports combine physical
fitness with mental development. Badminton is officially the fastest of all racket sports. Players
can hit the shuttlecock at speeds of up to 180mph (288kph) toward their opponent. But it is not
just all about speed; a player can expect to run up to four miles (6.4km) around the court during a
match whilst having the agility to maintain energy-busting rallies. So, while stamina and agility

are important, certainly at a competitive level, anyone can play badminton and the sport is a
popular choice for people of all ages and fitness abilities.
History of badminton game
A badminton-like game was known in ancient Greece and Egypt - a game called
battledore and shuttlecock - in which two players hit a feathered shuttlecock back and forth with
tiny rackets. The game was played in India during the 18th Century, at which time it was called
"Poona”. In the 1860s it was adopted by British Army officers stationed in India. The officers
took the game back to England, where it became a success at a party given by the Duke of
Beaufort in 1873 at his estate called "Badminton" in Gloucestershire. A variation of Badminton
which has been developed only recently, Speed Badminton or Speed Minton, is played without a
net and is gaining popularity, especially in Germany
Nature of the Game
Badminton is played as singles or doubles game with one or two players on aside. The
object of the game is to hit the shuttlecock or “bird” back and forth with a racket across a net five
feet high at its center. The bird should be hit with such speed and accuracy that the opponent is
unable to return the shot successfully. The game can either be fast or slow-paced, depending on
the skill level of the players.
Safety/Etiquette
1. Keep a firm grip on the racket.
2. Be careful not to hit your partner with the racket.
3. Stay in your court to avoid the possibility of collision with other players.
4. Stop play if other players enter your court.
5. Wait until there is a stop in the action to retrieve a bird from another court.
6. Be aware of the walls and the net posts.
7. Before play, agree on the boundaries and determine the first server.
8. Players call their lines; replay the point if in doubt.
9. Shake hands after the game/match.

Facilities/Equipment
1. Rackets are fragile. Avoid striking the floor, wall, net, posts, or your partner. Also, avoid
flipping, throwing, or twirling rackets.

carefully.
3. Each student is responsible for reporting any damaged rackets to the instructor.

Summary
Badminton is a racquet sport played by either two opposing players (singles) or two
opposing pairs (doubles), Players score points by striking a shuttlecock with their racquet so that
it passes over the net and lands in their opponents' half of the court. A rally ends once the

CHERYBE P. SANTIAGO

shuttlecock has struck the floor. In the mid-18th century in British India, the game came to be
known as Poona.
The balls of wool referred to as ball badminton. In 1887, the sport was played in England
under the rules that prevailed in British India. The basic regulations were drawn up in 1887. In
1893, the Badminton Association of England published the first set of rules and they started the
All England Open Badminton Championships, the first badminton competition in the world, in
1899. Besides, The International Badminton Federation (IBF) known as Badminton World
Federation) was established in 1934. The BWF now governs international badminton and
develops the sport globally.
Besides, badminton rules restrict the design and size of racquets and shuttlecocks.
Badminton rules also provide for testing a shuttlecock for the correct speed. Each game is played
to 21 points and.at the start of the rally, the server and receiver stand in diagonally opposite
service courts. When the serving side loses a rally, the server immediately passes to their
opponent. In singles, the server stands in their right service court when their score is even, and in
her or his left service court when her or his score is odd.
In doubles, if the serving side wins a rally, the same player continues to serve. If the
opponents win the rally and their new score is even, the player in the right service court serves, if
odd, the player in the left service court serves. At the start of a match, the shuttlecock is cast and
the side towards which the shuttlecock is pointing serves first. In subsequent games, the winners
of the previous game serve first. Besides, if a let is called, the rally is stopped and replayed with
no change to the score. Besides, the equipment’s of
Badminton racquets are lightweight, with top quality racquets weighing and the laws
limit the racquet size and shape. Badminton strings are thin, high performing strings. Thicker
strings are more durable. A shuttlecock is covered with thin leather or synthetic material.
Badminton shoes must be lightweight. There is more strategy to win in badminton players who
need to employ a wide variety of strokes in the right situations. These range from powerful
jumping smashes to delicate tumbling net returns.
Often rallies finish with a smash. Besides, deception is different strokes that look
identical and use slicing to deceive their opponents about the speed or direction of the stroke.
Both pairs will try to gain and maintain the attack, smashing downwards when possible. If a pair

CHERYBE P. SANTIAGO
8

is forced to lift or clear the shuttlecock, then they must defend, they will adopt a side-by-side
position in the rear midcourt.
Players generally smash to the middle ground. Singles tactics are based on forcing the
opponent to move as much as possible. Combining lifts and clears with drop shots and net shots.
Both pairs typically try to maintain an attacking formation with the woman at the front and the
man at the back. Clever opponents will try to reverse the ideal position, by forcing the woman
towards the back or the man towards the front.
