DUAL SPORTS

BADMINTON

....

Badminton is a racquet sport played by either two opposing

players (singles) or two opposing pairs (doubles), who take
positions on opposite halves of a rectangular court that is
divided by a net.
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. Each side may only
strike the shuttlecock once before it passes over the net. A
rally ends once the shuttlecock has struck the floor.

THE SHUTTLECOCK
The shuttlecock (or shuttle) is a feathered projectile whose
unique aerodynamic properties cause it to fly differently than
the balls used in most racquet sports; in particular, the feathers
create much higher drag, causing the shuttlecock to decelerate
more rapidly than a ball. Shuttlecocks have a much higher top
speed, when compared to other racquet sports. Because
shuttlecock flight is affected by wind, competitive badminton is
played indoors. Badminton is also played outdoors as a casual
recreational activity, often as a garden or beach game.

Since 1992, badminton has been an Olympic sport with five

events: men's and women's singles, men's and women's
doubles, and mixed doubles, in which each pair consists of a
man and a woman.
At high levels of play, especially in singles, the sport demands
excellent fitness: players require aerobic stamina, agility,
explosive strength, speed and precision. It is also a technical
sport, requiring good motor coordination and the development
of sophisticated racquet movements.

History of Badminton

The beginnings of badminton can be traced to mid-18th

century British India, where it was created by British military
officers stationed there. Early photographs show Englishmen
adding a net to the traditional English game of battledore and
shuttlecock. Being particularly popular in the British garrison
town Poona (now Pune), the game also came to be known as
Poona. Initially, balls of wool referred as ball badminton were
preferred by the upper classes in windy or wet conditions, but
ultimately the shuttlecock stuck. This game was taken by
retired officers back to England where it developed and rules
were set out.

Although it appears clear that Badminton House,

Gloucestershire, owned by the Duke of Beaufort, has given its
name to the sports, it is unclear when and why the name was
adopted. As early as 1860, Isaac Spratt, a London toy dealer,
published a booklet, Badminton Battledore – a new game, but
unfortunately no copy has survived.

An 1863 article in The Cornhill Magazine describes badminton

as "battledore and shuttlecock played with sides, across a string
suspended some five feet from the ground". This early use has
cast doubt on the origin through expatriates in India, though it
is known that it was popular there in the 1870s and that the
first rules were drawn up in Poonah in 1873.

As early as 1875, veterans returning from India started a club in

Folkestone. Until 1887, the sport was played in England under
the rules that prevailed in British India.

The Bath Badminton Club

standardized the rules and made the game applicable to English
ideas. J.H.E. Hart drew up revised basic regulations in 1887 and,
with Bagnel Wild, again in 1890.

In 1893, the Badminton Association of England published the

first set of rules according to these regulations, similar to
today's rules, and officially launched badminton in a house
called "Dunbar" at 6 Waverley Grove, Portsmouth, England on
September 13 of that year.[6] They also started the All England
Open Badminton Championships, the first badminton
competition in the world, in 1899.
The International Badminton Federation
(IBF)
(now known as Badminton World Federation) was established
in 1934 with Canada, Denmark, England, France, the
Netherlands, Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland, and Wales as its
founding members. India joined as an affiliate in 1936. The BWF
now governs international badminton and develops the sport
globally.

While initiated in England, competitive men's badminton in

Europe has traditionally been dominated by Denmark. Asian
nations, however, have been the most dominant ones
worldwide. Indonesia, South Korea, China, and Malaysia along
with Denmark are among the nations that have consistently
produced worldclass players in the past few decades, with
China being the greatest force in both men's and women's
competition in recent years.

FACILITIES and EQUIPMENT

COURT DIMENSION
The overall dimensions is 20 feet by 44 feet, marking the
sidelines for doubles play and long service lines for single s
play.
NET LINE
The net line marks the middle of the court where the net is
placed, creating a 22 feet by 20 feet area on each side of the
net.

BADMINTON NET
The top of the badminton net is hung 5 feet above in the center
net line.
Short Service Line

The short service line is marked 6 feet 6 inches from the center
line. The area inside the short service line is also called the Non
Volley Zone.
Center Line

The Center Line is the line that divides the court from the Short
Service Line to the Back Boundary Line. This delineates the Left
from Right Service Court.

Side Line for Singles Play

The Singles Side Line is marked 1 1/2 feet from the edge of the
outer boundary (doubles side line)

Back Boundary Line and Long Service Line for Singe

•The back boundary line is the same for singles and doubles
play it is the outermost back line on the court.
Long Service Line for Doubles
•The Long Service line for Doubles is marked 2 1/2 feet inside
the Back Boundary Line.
EQUIPMENTS

Racquet
•used to hit the bird, the racquet is shaped like a tennis
racquet and has strings, but weighs much less. The frame of the
racket, including the handle, is not to exceed 680 mm (26.75
inches) in overall length, and 230 mm (9 inches) in overall
width. The overall length of the head is not to exceed 290 mm.
Most racquets are made from light man-made materials such as
aluminum or graphite, and are strung with synthetic material
such as nylon.
THE SHUTTLECOCK

Shuttle, Shuttlecock, Bird, Birdie

whatever it is called, it is badminton's version of a tennis ball. It
has a small ball at the front to give it speed, and feathers
protruding from it to help it float when it is hit high into the air.
An official shuttlecock must have 14-16 feathers and are usually
made from a goose or duc•k and from the left wing of the bird
only.
Shoes
•special court shoes are worn to allow players to move quickly
across the court, and to give them traction for quick
movements around the court

Badminton Accessories
The commonly used Badminton Accessories are Grip,
Badminton Clothes, Socks, Wrist Band and Head Band.

Grip
A grip made of cloth or synthetic fiber absorbs sweat and
provides you a drier feel.

Badminton Clothes
Comfortable T-shirts and shorts, that don’t hinder your
movement are ideal to play Badminton. A cotton round-neck or
a collar t-shirts with a pair of light shorts are usually preferred.
Socks
Wear a pair of thick cotton socks as they help to absorb sweat.
They also prevent your feet from slipping inside your shoes.
Avoid wearing Nylon socks that don’t absorb sweat.

Wrist Band
If you perspire a lot, you may consider getting a wrist band that
prevents your sweat from flowing to your racket handle.

Head Band
Wear a Head Band if you wear spectacles. It prevents your
lenses from getting wet and also stops the sweat and hair from
getting into your eyes while playing.

FUNDAMENTAL SKILLS AND STRATEGIES

Serving

The serve is one of the most important shots in badminton. Like

tennis, every badminton point begins with a serve where one
player serves the birdie from a service line into a service box
that is diagonally across the net. A skilled server can often win
points outright by hitting nonreturnable serves. One basic serve
technique is the low serve. When hitting a low serve, the player
attempts to serve the birdie in a very low arc that barely passes
over the top of the net and then lands in the front of the
service box. A good low serve will draw the returner forward
and force him to hit a high arcing shot, which can set you up for
a powerful smash or drive shot that will send the birdie behind
him. Another basic serve is the high serve. With a high serve,
you hit the birdie hard, sending it a high arc to the back of the
service box. A high serve can go over the head of an opponent
who is too far forward. Switching up your serves to keep your
opponent guessing can help keep her off balance and give you
an advantage.
Badminton Clears
•are the most common and important of all badminton strokes
that can be played overhead or underarm. These shots can be
played both on the forehand and backhand sides.
Drills 
Playing badminton is one of the best ways to learn and employ
the different shot skills and strategies of the game, but training
drills can also help hone skills. Standing close to the net with
partner on the other side and only using
drop shots is a basic drill for practicing net play and control.
Hitting the birdie against a wall is a way to practice shots
without a partner. Players looking to increase speed and
stamina around the court play against two players at once.

Badminton Drills
 Doing some simple Badminton Drills will have a great bearing
in you becoming a better player. Just by playing games alone
will not be enough. Spend some time and effort in your
Badminton Training. You'll become a better Badminton Player
RULES AND REGULATION IN BADMINTON

You shall serve from, and receive in, the right service court
when you or your opponent has scored an even number of
points in that game.
You shall serve from, and receive in, the left service court when
you or your opponent has scored an odd number of points in
that game.
You and your opponent will hit the shuttle alternately until a
'fault' is made or the shuttle ceases to be in play.
You score a point and serve again from the alternate service
court when your opponent makes a 'fault' or the shuttle ceases
to be in play because it touches the surface of your opponent's
side of court.
No points will be scored when you make a 'fault' or the shuttles
ceases to be in play because it touches the surface of your side
of court. The serving right will then be transferred to your
opponent.
Scoring Systems
•The rules of badminton states that a badminton match shall
consist of the best of 3 games. In doubles and men's singles,
the first side to score 15 points wins the game. In women's
singles, the first side to score 11 points wins the game.
•If the score becomes 14-all, the side which first scored 14 shall
exercise the choice to continue the game to 15 points or to 'set'
the game to 17 points.
•The side winning a game serves first in the next game. Only
the serving side can add a point to its score.

Tactics

•In singles, the speed of the opponent should give you an idea
of how to employ badminton tactics during your play. If the
opponent is sluggish in his movements, then you should play
aggressively, always sending him to all corners of the court to
retrieve the shuttle and avoid feeding him shots, which he can
return without moving.

•If the opponent is quick footed, then you must change your
badminton tactics. In addition to keeping him on the move, you
must analyze his shots, learn to anticipate what shot he is going
to execute in a given situation and mold your game accordingly.
Sometimes, giving opportunities to play his favorite shot will
work to your advantage because; you gain additional
milliseconds to reach the shuttle as you anticipate it in advance.
*This will sow the seeds of doubt in two ways in your
opponent. One, he will be frustrated that he had missed a
winner and second, it will create doubts in his game and skills in
that you
were able to reach and return his favorite shot, by which he
usually wins a point.

•Similarly, when you are facing an opponent who has

tremendous patience and stamina, you have to play hard and
fast to unsettle him. Alternatively, if he lacks in stamina, you
must deliberately lengthen the duration of rallies and force him
to commit mistakes by making him
tired. Deliberately slowing down the game is also one of the
badminton tactics.

In addition, you must use the dimensions of the court to your

advantage in planning badminton tactics. You must consistently
pin your opponent to the back court, as his returns from there
can be easily met by you. You will get additional milliseconds to
return his shot more effectively. Also, it will enable you to play
successful drop shots against him.
Roles & Responsibilities of Officials

An umpire shall:

- Upload and enforce the Rules of Badminton and, especially,

call a 'fault' or 'let' should either occur.
- Give a decision on any appeal regarding a point of dispute, if
made before the next service is delivered.
- Ensure players and spectators are kept informed of the
progress of the match.
- Appoint or remove line judges or a service judge in
consultation with the referee.
- Where another court official is not appointed, arrange for that
official's duties to be carried out.
- Where an appointed official is unsighted, carry out the
official's duties or play a 'let'.
- Record and report to the referee all matters in relation to
continuous play, misconduct and penalties.
- Take to the referee all unsatisfied appeals on questions of law
only. (Such appeals must be made before the next service is
delivered, or, if at the end of the game, before the side that
appeals has left the court.)

STROKES
OVERHEAD Defensive Stroke
*the player in the case of an overhead defensive stroke where
the shuttler would go up in the air before taking a downward
descent and eventually landing on the far end of the opponent's
court.

2.The Underarm defensive stroke

In the Underarm defensive stroke, the shuttle goes from
bottom-to-top and ends at the far end of the court. The stark
difference between the two shots is that while the overhead
one is played from the edge of the court, the underarm is
played from the near the net

Clear shot
•A clear shot means hitting the shuttle to the other end of the
court. This is a very important DEFENSIVE shot.
When a shuttle is hit high to the back of the court:
•Your opponent is less likely to execute a powerful smash
•You will have more time to return to your base and prepare
for the next shot
•Your opponent can either lob back or drop and there's
practically NOTHING ELSE he/she can do.
Drop Shots
This shot is done from the back of your court. You then direct
the shuttle to the front of your opponent's court.
A good badminton drop will have the shuttlecock passing just
slightly above the badminton net.
SMASH
A shot that involves great risk, the smash can cause a player to
lose his/her balance and therefore, is used only in instances
when the player is in the need to finish a rally and win a point
or ensure that the opponent, if he/she does so, gives back a
weak return to the hit.
The smash is essentially a shot used to catch the opponent off
guard and it is required for the shuttler before playing the
smash to keep a sound body balance to execute it correctly.

JUMP SMASH
The Jump Smash is another form of smash when the player
leaps up into the air and fires the shuttle down the line. The
Jump Smash is considered the most powerful offensive shot in
badminton and is among the hardest shots to execute in the
game. Like in the normal smash, the proper body balance is
important for the execution of the jump smash as well

THE NET SHOT

One of the important shots in the game, the Net shot is
generally used to clinch rallies
and if executed well, can force the opponent to go for the high
lift, which would then allow the other player to go for the
winning smash.The net shot can sometimes itself be a shot that
could clinch a point if it is delivered with accuracy from close to
the net of the player who plays it to the one who is about to
receive it.

THE NET KILL

To put it the simplest of words the net kill helps in the
completion of a rally point when the opponent returns the
initial net shot in a poor manner
The Deffensive Net Lift

The defensive net lift is often used to counter an opponent,

who is playing very well at the net. The defensive net kill can be
a very effective shot when one needs to find a way to negate
the net kill.

THE DRIVE
A shot aimed straight at the opponent’s body, the drive, like the smash,
provides the opponent with very little time to react and return the
shuttle back in order to continue the point.
S'll be difficult for you to reach the shuttle in time.
*This type of shot can be easily defended. At the same time, executing
a smash will weaken your footwork because you lose
some degree of body balance. You might also have trouble retrieving
your opponent's return shot
