Badminton is a tennis-like game played with light strong rackets that are used to strike a shuttlecock (a
feather cork missile) back and forth, before it hits the ground across a high net within a rectangular court.
The game has an extremely varied repertory of strokes. This fact derives from the lightness of the rackets,
so that the wrist can be used much more than in most other tennis-type games; and even more from the
peculiarities in the flight of the shuttle cock, or bird, that, because of its feathers and light cork base,
decelerates quickly after being struck. Badminton is not a good outdoor game because breezes affect the
shuttlecock. All organized tournaments are played indoor.
History of Badminton
Most authorities feel that the game developed from the ancient pastime known as battledore and
shuttlecock. The game was learned in India as “poona”. It was brought to England about 1870 by British
army officers stationed in India. The Duke of Beaufort introduced the game in his country place,
Badminton, in Gloucestershire. Not having a name at that time, the game was referred to as “that
Badminton game”. This reference was never changed, and badminton became the accepted title.
The oldest badminton club in the world is the Badminton Club of the City of New York, which was founded
in 1878, however, the game did not become widely popular in the United States until the middle 1930’s.
The US Badminton Association was formed in 1936.
The International Badminton Federation, the world governing body of the sports, was founded in 1934.
The premier international men’s team is the “Thomas Cup”, which was established in 1948 and its
counterpart in the women’s competition is the “Uber Cup”, which was founded in 1956. Both competitions
are held biennially, and the Chinese dominated ever since they begun in 1981. In the mind 90’s,
Indonesian and some Europeans stole the supremacy from the Chinese.

Activity 1
A. Make a timeline of the history of badminton to show the significant events that led to the development
of the sport. Use the format below.
-1870 It was brought to England about 1870 by British army officers stationed in
India. The Duke of Beaufort introduced the game in his country place,
Badminton, in Gloucestershire. Not having a name at that time, the game
was referred to as “that Badminton game”. This reference was never
changed, and badminton became the accepted title.
-1878 The oldest badminton club in the world is the Badminton Club of the City
of New York, which was founded in 1878. The game which was played in
the early days of the club was quite different than we know now. Men wore
tuxedos, Prince Albert coats, and dancing shoes. Women wore the long
dresses which were in vogue at the time. The net varied in height from 5ft
6inches to 6ft, making drop shots and smashes less effective.
-1930 the game did not become widely popular in the United States until the
middle 1930’s, because of the professional players, well-known athletes
who enjoyed the sport, and several movie stars who played the game to
keep trim. The first professionals were George “Jess” Willard, Bill Hurley,
Frank Roberts, J. Frank Devlin, Jack Purcell, Ken Davidson, Hugh Forgie,
and Bill Markham.
