 Nature and Concept
Badminton is a Racquet sport which is
played by either one or two players on
each side of the court. The objective of
the game is to hit the shuttlecock so
that it lands at the opponent’s side of
the court without the opponent
returning. The shuttle should go over
the net. When the game is played by
one player on each side, it is referred
to as singles while that of two players
is called doubles.
 History of Badminton
The history goes way back to the mid-1800’s when
British Army officers stationed in India created the
game. Although other connections and influences
may have come from India & China with many
versions of the game being played in the Far East
by children for centuries.

A children’s game in England called “battledore

and shuttlecock” involved a paddle (a battledore)
keeping a small feathered cork (shuttlecock) in the
air for as long as possible. This had become
popular from medieval times.
 History of Badminton
When a net was added the
game became a competitive
sport called “poona”. Although
a small woollen ball would be
used at first, soon the
shuttlecock took over. Around
the 1870s the rules and
regulations were drawn up.
 History of Badminton
The game made it’s way back to
England when army officers
returned home around 1873. The
story goes that following a
Badminton House at
Gloucestershire, England. A lawn
party was held by the Duke of
Beaufort while some of his guests
played a game called Badminton”.

set rules and regulations, which are
similar to the rules of today were
published by The Badminton Association

having being an exhibition sport in 1972 Munich Games.

The History of Badminton In Summary
So what is the origin of Badminton? Well you
could say India but for the game we know and play
today you it would be England.
The sport may well have started in India and England but the
sport has been dominated over the years by the Asian
countries such as China, Malaysia, South Korea Indonesia
and India. Denmark is probably Europe’s most consistent
country for producing top talent.
