History and Skills in
Badminton
 INTRODUCTION
Some players enjoy playing with a partner. Playing with a
partner brings out the best in you. You see him or her as the
“enemy” and somehow it gets into your mind that you have to
win against this person. Your opponent is NOT the enemy.
He/she is your “partner”. Do you get inspired if your partner or
opponent is less skill full than you? The better your partners or
opponents are, the bigger chances of bringing the best out of
you!
This module will provide you with the experience of
playing with your buddy or partner who happens to be your
opponent. Dual sports such as badminton will help you how to
deal with a partner or tandem, while gaining your physical
fitness goal. For you to become familiar with more serious
sports participation, this module will also help you make
concrete steps in achieving your fitness goal. The activities are
designed to guide you as you venture into personal fitness
through more serious sports participation. So gear up and get
ready! Be involved in your own personal fitness through this dual
sports—badminton.

What is It

HISTORY OF BADMINTON
Badminton is known as battledore and shuttlecock in
ancient Greece, India, and China and was named after the
Badminton House in Gloucestershire, England. The
International Badminton Federation (IBF) has been housed in
this place since 1934.
In Asia, badminton became a popular sport. We see
people playing in parks, streets, or any space one may find
suitable for playing. The objective of the game is to hit the
shuttlecock or birdie back and forth over the net with a racket to
prevent it from hitting the ground. It is governed by the
Badminton World Federation (BWF). Its official website is
www.bwfbadminton.org.

BADMINTON EQUIPMENT

BADMINTON PLAYING
AREA
➢ COURT- The court must be smooth but not slippery and
leveled in a ground space measuring 17x44 feet for singles
and 20x44 feet for doubles.
➢ NET- The net is made of fine tanned cord with a neck of
more than 15mm but less than 20mm with at least 6.1m
firmly stretched from post to post. The top of the net from the
surface is 1.524m at the center of the court.
➢ POST- The posts are placed on the side of the boundary
lines of the court and measures 1.55m high from the floor.
They should remain vertical and will keep the net stretched.
SKILLS AND STROKES
TECHNIQUE
➢ Grip
 Badminton is basically a
wrist work sport. Every stroke
depends on the grip. A player
uses a forehand grip or
backhand grip.

q=badminton+grip+illustration&tbm
➢ Serve-This is the shot that starts the game and an
experienced player uses a flick serve so that the serve
barely clears the net and is aimed at the sideline of the
service area.
➢ Low Serve-The low serve is played gently over the net to
land at the front of your opponent’s service court, near the
short service line. It’s important that this serve passes low
over the net. The low serve is used in both singles and
doubles. In doubles, the low serve is used more frequently
than any other serve.

q=low+serve+in+badminton+illustration&sou rce
➢ High Serve-The high serve is played powerfully upward.
The shuttlecock travels very high and falls almost vertically
downward at the back of the receiver’s service court. High
serves are used frequently in singles, but never in doubles.
Source:https://www.google.com/search?q=high+serve+in+badminton+illustration&tbm
➢ Flick Serve-The flick serve is also played upward, but more
shallowly than the high serve. This is used to deprive the
opponent of time, forcing him to hit the shuttlecock when it’s
behind his body. Flick serves are used extensively in
doubles, and occasionally in singles.

➢ Drive-It is a “low-flying” shot or stroke intended to hit
straight at the opponent.

➢ Net Shot-It is a shot or stroke aimed at the front area of the
court for the opponent to play close to the net.

➢ Smash-It is a “killing stroke” where the racket held with a
straight arm is flung up to hit the shuttle squarely in the
middle of the racket.

q=smash+in+badminton+illustration
➢ Lob or Lift-It is an “offensive stroke” bringing the shuttle in a
high arc above the opponent’s reach forcing him to move to
the back of the court.

q=lob+or+lift+in+badminton+illustration
➢ Clear-It is a “defensive stroke” that brings the shuttle in high
arc and allows the player to return to the middle of the court
and to get ready for another rally while the shuttle is in the
air.

PLAYING BADMINTON
Nowadays, the game is played indoors with rackets
and shuttlecocks by two persons (singles) or four persons
(doubles) on each side. The order of the game is that one start
to serve from the right service area of the court. The
shuttlecock should then be received by the opposite diagonally
the service area across the court back to you before it hits the
ground. This continues until one of you fails to return it.
A point is given to the opposite side if you fail to return
the shuttle and hits the ground or is out of bounds. You must
also keep your service privilege to gain points. If the server
commits a fault or loses a rally, the serve is given to the
opponent. In doubles play, each team is given two chances to
serve. However, if one of the players loses the serve, the
partner serves immediately. Once your team finishes your turn
for the serve, your opponent will serve next.
 You win the match if a player or team gains 21
points. When the score is tied at 20, the game continues until
one end gains the two-point advantage. The minimum score to
win is 21 points while the maximum is 30 points.

THE TOSS
Before the game starts, the player or opposing teams
will toss and the winning side have the following choices: 1.)
service receive first or 2.) choosing the court end while the
losing side of the toss will conform to the remaining choice.

FAULTS OF THE GAME

A fault made by a player of the side which is “in,” puts
the server “out;” and if the fault is made by the player whose
side is “out,” counts as a point to the “in” side.

1. Serving
◆ The moment the shuttlecock is struck higher than the
server’s waist.
◆ Upon striking the shuttlecock, the head of the racket is
higher than any part of the server’s hand holding the racket.
◆ The server’s feet are not in the service court when the
service is being made or if the feet of the player receiving
the service are not in the service area diagonally opposite
until the service is delivered.

2. Shuttlecock
◆ It falls on the wrong service court.
◆ It falls short of the service line, falls beyond the long service
line, or outside the side boundary line of the court into which
service is in order.
◆ It falls out of the court’s boundaries or passes through or
under the net; or fails to pass through the net; or touches the
roof, side walls, the person, or the dress of the person.
◆ It is held on the racket during the execution of a stroke or if it
is hit twice in succession by the same player with two
 strokes or it is hit by a player and his or her partner
successively.
◆ It is struck before it crosses the striker’s side of the net.

3. DURING THE GAME

◆ A player obstructs an opponent.
◆ The racket, player, or player’s dress touches the net or its
supports.
◆ A player is struck by a shuttlecock whether he or she is
standing within or outside the boundaries of the court.
◆ A player is guilty of repeated flagrant or repeated offenses.
As a general rule, the server may not serve until the
opponent is ready. If the return of the service is attempted, the
opponent is deemed ready in this situation.
