Greece, India and China. This game was
comprised of shuttlecock that was batted back
and forth by multiple players.
• No net is involve and the object of the game

History
• In 1873, the Duke of Beaufort officially introduce
this newfad to England at a party on his estate.
The estate located in Gloucestershire, was called
Badminton, which is how the name become
associated with the sport.
• Badminton continued its rise in popularity through
the rest of century and the beginning of the next.
• In 1934 the International Badminton Federation
with nine countries included to its membership.
• In 1948 saw the first official IBF tournament, and
since then multiple world cups and event have
taken place
• Badminton made its first Olympic debut in 1992 at
the Barcelona Games.
• Badminton is a extremely competitive sport in
many countries and becoming more and more
popular all over the world. It’s considered one of
the favorite backyard game of all time.

Rules and Regulations
• A badminton match is played to the best of three
games.
• A coin toss or spinning of the racket determines first
serve or choice of side.
• The object of a badminton game is to hit the
badminton shuttlecock over the badminton net and
onto the ground within bounds on your opponent's
side of the court.
• A rally can also be lost by hitting the shuttle into the
badminton net, out of bounds, before it crosses the
net to your side, or if it strikes your clothing or body
rather than your badminton racket.

Scoring Formats
• The modern badminton rules permit two different
scoring formats:
1) service
2) rally.
• In service play, a badminton game is won by scoring
15 points in doubles and men's singles, or 11 points
in women's singles.
• In rally play, 21 points are needed to win a
badminton game.

 SERVICE
• only the serving team may
score a point. If the rally is
lost, service passes to the
opponent in singles play. In
VS.
doubles play, except for
the first service of a game,
each player on a team is
permitted to serve at least
once before service is lost.
RALLY
• a point can be awarded to
either team, and in most
cases, a point is awarded
along with resumption of
service, except when a rally
point is lost by the first
member of a serving doubles
team.

SERVING RULES

• As in tennis, badminton service is always done diagonally,

e.g. from the right service court to the opponent's left
service court. The first serve is always taken from the right
court, and subsequent serves are taken from alternating
sides.
• Line shots in badminton service or rallies are considered
in, though court bounds are different for singles and
doubles play. The back line is the same for both, but
singles badminton is played with the narrower of the two
sidelines.
• A serve that strikes the net and lands in the opponent's
court is a let serve and is retaken.

Jens Martensson 7
SERVING RULES

• During service, players must stand in their respective

service courts.
• The receiving player is not permitted to move his/her feet
until the badminton shuttlecock has been struck.
• The highest part of the serving player's badminton racquet
must remain below his/her hand and waistline during
service. In other words, only underhanded serves are
permitted.

 HOW TO KEEP SCORE ?
Serving in a doubles match basically boils down to the
following:
• There is no more just serving right: the side which wins a
rally will get a point no matter they are serving or not. The
side who wins will serve the next point.
• Do I serve from the left or the right? This depends on the
score of the serving party. If the score is zero or even, the
team will serve from the right. If the score is odd, the team
will serve from the left.
• Should you and your partner switch service court (left to
right, right to left)? The answer is NO. Therefore, when
your side is not serving, don’t switch side. When you lose
a point, don’t switch side. When the other side serves and
you win this point, don’t switch side.

TYPES OF SERVE

High – drive your opponent back

Flick & Drive – A low, hard shot that travels horizontally

without arc. It is used for a quick start

Low – bring in opponent for set-up

VIOLATIONS ARE CALLED FAULT

Fault: A violation of game rules, including but not limited to:

• A serve that does not land in the service area.
• A shot that lands outside the boundaries.
• A player (or doubles partners) hitting the badminton
shuttlecock twice before it goes over the badminton net.
• A birdie that touches the ground before it is returned.

Jens Martensson 11
 TERMS
• Bird or Birdie: A common name for the badminton shuttlecock.
• Drop shot: A soft shot which arcs just over the net and drops to the ground.
• Let: An official break in play, caused by a minor violation such as the shuttlecock
touching the badminton net. After a let, the rally is replayed and scores remain
unchanged.
• Rally: An exchange of shots leading to a point or service change.
• Shuttlecock: A circular piece of rubber or cork that measures one to 11/8 inches in
diameter. Attached to the base is a crown of 14 to 16 feathers, often made of plastic,
which keep the badminton shuttlecock aloft when hit.
• Smash: The most potent of all badminton shots. There is almost no defense against
a well executed smash. It is an over the head swing.
• Wood shot: A shot in which the badminton shuttlecock is hit by the frame of the
racket instead of the strings. This shot was formerly illegal but was allowed into the
game in 1963.

DOUBLE COURT POSITION
• Side by side:
A doubles formation in which each partner is responsible
for one side of the court.

• Tandem (front & back)

A doubles formation win which each partner is
responsible for the front or the back

BASIC BADMINTON TOOLS
• 1. Badminton Racket
Badminton rackets can be made from several types of materials.
Depending on the material selection, this can result in different combinations
of racket weight, balance points and string tensions.
2. Shuttlecock
There are two types of shuttlecocks - plastic and feathered shuttlecocks.
Plastic shuttlecocks are far more durable compared to the feathered types
which are commonly used. However, plastic shuttlecocks are only
recommended for beginners who are just starting out.
3. Badminton Shoes
Badminton shoes are designed to give you better traction and grip to
stop in time to return a shot. They should also be lightweight have good
cushioning to absorb impact when you jump or land.
4. Badminton Attire
For casual to non-competitive players, a comfortable pair of shorts and
cotton or dri-fit t-shirt is sufficient. Some players may want to equip
themselves with hand grips, wrist bands and ankle guards.

The 4 Basic Grips In Badminton

• Forehand grip
• Backhand grip
• Bevel grip
• Panhandle grip

Jens Martensson 16
Forehand Grip
The easiest way to learn the forehand grip is
to pretend you are shaking someone’s
hand.
Your fingers should be loosely around the
grip, and this is important for all 4 grips. If
you are gripping the racket too tightly, then it
becomes much more difficult to quickly
change between grips when necessary in
the middle of a rally. A tight grip will also limit
your ability to generate control and power in
your shots.
The forehand grip is used for:
• Forehand clears, smashes and drops
• Forehand drives
• Forehand lifts
• Forehand net shots

Jens Martensson 17
Backhand Grip
The easiest way to learn the backhand grip
is to set up with your thumb on top of the
wider section of the grip, with your strings
facing the floor & ceiling like on the photo
below. Your fingers should be relaxed
around the side.
The backhand grip is used for:
• Backhand drives
• Backhand lifts
• Backhand net shots
• Backhand serves
• Doubles defence
The backhand grip shouldn’t be used when
playing backhand shots in the rear-court,
we’ll now explain why and show what the
correct grip for this is.

Jens Martensson 18
Bevel Grip
To learn the bevel grip you can start in a backhand grip and move your racket
head round so that your strings are now facing diagonally, and your thumb is
on the ridge / bevel. You would move the racket anti-clockwise from your
backhand grip if you are right handed, and clockwise from this position if you
are left handed.
The bevel grip is used for:
• Backhand rear-court shots (clears, drops and smashes)
• Some forehand and backhand net shots (depending on your positioning)
• Some singles defence if you are really stretched
You need to have a different thumb position depending on where you are
making contact with the shuttle on your backhand side, this is why the bevel
grip is used. If the shuttle is level with you or in front you would use a standard
backhand grip with thumb on top like in the backhand grip section. If the
shuttle is behind you (like it should be when taking a rear-court backhand
shot), then you should have a bevel grip grip with your thumb further round.
This allows you to play an accurate and powerful shot from this position.

Jens Martensson 19
Panhandle Grip
The panhandle grip is where you have the thumb on the side of the
racket, pinching the sides with your thumb and fingers in the position
shown below.
The panhandle grip is the one that actually comes most naturally to
beginners because it’s easy to hit overhead shots with – but contrary
to what many players use this for, the panhandle grip is used for:

• Late backhand rear-court shots

• Retrieving a net-cord on the backhand side Some net kills or drives
depending on your position and preference
