BADMINTON
It is a court or lawn game played with lightweight rackets and a shuttlecock.
THE SHUTTLECOCK
also known as a “bird” or “birdie”, It is a small cork hemisphere with 16 goose feathers attached and
weighing about 0.17 ounce (5 grams). These types of shuttles may still be used in modern play, but
shuttles made from synthetic materials are also allowed by the Badminton World Federation. 

RACKET
A racket, or racquet, is a sports implement used for striking a ball or shuttlecock in games such as squash,
tennis, racquetball, badminton and padel.

POLES
Posts are an essential element of professional badminton nets, and the difference a good set makes to your
game is astounding. The badminton posts are the twin verticals that hold the net steady and
taut, providing a barrier over which players volley the shuttlecock.

NET
They have to keep the shuttlecock above the net to score a point. If one player fails to return the
shuttlecock above the net, a point goes to the opponent player proving the significance of the badminton
net in the game.
The badminton nets are the most important part of a game because it requires players to return the
shuttlecock from one side of the court to the other. The net is 760mm in depth and a minimum of 6.1m
wide. The top of the net from the surface of the court is 1.524m at the centre of the court and 1.55m over
the side lines for doubles. There must be no gaps between the ends of the net and the posts.
BADMINTON COURT

HISTORY
The game is named for Badminton, the country estate of the dukes of Beaufort
in Gloucestershire, England, where it was first played about 1873. The roots of the sport can be traced
to ancient Greece, China, and India, and it is closely related to the old children’s game battledore and
shuttlecock. Badminton is derived directly from poona, which was played by British army officers
stationed in India in the 1860s. The first unofficial all-England badminton championships for men were
held in 1899, and the first badminton tournament for women was arranged the next year.
The Badminton World Federation (BWF; originally the International Badminton Federation), the world
governing body of the sport, was formed in 1934. Badminton is also popular
in Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, and Denmark. The BWF’s first world championships were held in 1977. A
number of regional, national, and zonal badminton tournaments are held in several countries. The best-
known of these is the All-England Championships. Other well-known international tournaments include
the Thomas Cup (donated 1939) for men’s team competition and the Uber Cup (donated 1956) for
women’s team competition.
Badminton first appeared in the Olympic Games as a demonstration sport in 1972 and as an exhibition
sport in 1988. At the 1992 Games it became a full-medal Olympic sport, with competition for men’s and
women’s singles (one against one) and doubles (two against two). Mixed doubles was introduced at the
1996 Games. Competitive badminton is usually played indoors because even light winds affect the course
of the shuttlecock. (Recreational badminton, on the other hand, is a popular outdoor summertime
activity.) The rectangular court is 44 feet (13.4 metres) long and 17 feet (5.2 metres) wide for singles, 20
feet (6.1 metres) wide for doubles. A net 5 feet (1.5 metres) high stretches across the width of the court at
its centre. A clear space of 4 feet (1.3 metres) around the court is needed. Play consists entirely of
volleying—hitting the shuttlecock back and forth across the net without letting it touch the floor or
ground within the boundaries of the court.

In international play, athletes compete in best-of-three-games matches. A game is played to 21 points,

provided that the winner has at least a 2-point advantage. If a 2-point advantage is never reached, the first
player or team to score 30 points wins. Points were only awarded to the serving side until 2006, when the
BWF adopted the “rally scoring” system, under which either side can score at any time.

POSITION

 Attacking stance
 Defensive stance
 Serving stance
 Receiving stance
 Net stance

1.Attacking stances

Attacking stance is mainly used while making smash

Step by step guide

 Get behind the shuttle(so that if you leave it, must land before your body)
 Turn your body(to side court)at 90 degree to the net
 Open you legs wide apart
 Raise you racket arm and non racket arm
 Transfer body weight to your racket leg
 And hit the shuttle

Where to use this?

 To perform half smashes or full smashes

 When you are behind the shuttle
 When your opponent give you a short and high lift

2.Defensive stance

Step by step guide

 Open your legs more than your shoulder

 bend your knees little (like in picture)
 keep your upper body little bit forward
 raise both you arm above your hips
 and defend it
When to use it?

Whenever you hit a High Clear or perform a High Serve, move to your base position and adopt
the defensive stance. Ideally, you want to be at your base position before your opponent hits the attacking
shot.

Mostly in double defense stance is used regularly as the number of attacking shot are played more in
comparison to singles

Serving stance

Mainly there are two types of serving stance

 Backhand serve stance

Rules

 Don’t move your feet and body while serving

 If your foot is on center line or on front line while serving it will be a fault
 Hit the shuttle below your waist
 Do serve only by wrist and your full arm pronation
 Always serve to cross court
 Only single action of racket is allowed for serve

 Forehand serve stance

Rules

 Don’t move your feet while serving

 If your foot is on center line or on front line while serving it will be a fault
 Hit the shuttle below your waist
 Always serve to cross court
 Only single action of racket is allowed for serve

3.Receiving stance

Rules

 Don’t move your feet and body while receiving

 If your foot is on center line or on front line while serving it will be a fault
 Moving before the service is a fault

4.Net stance

Step by step guide

 Place your racket foot forward; non-racket foot at the back.

 Place your racket in front of your body, slightly above waist height.
 Raise your non-racket arm for body balance.
 Place your body weight slightly forward and get ready to pounce forward.
When to use?

Net stance is used when you have the idea that your opponent is going to play a net shot.

If you have some basic knowledge about footwork in badminton you will know that you have to take
more step to reach net shot. So net shot can be effective if you want to make your opponent move more
on Court.

Here are the top 10 rules to remember as a beginner playing badminton!

1. Coin toss initiates a game. Depending on who wins the toss, they will either serve or receive first OR
choose which side of the court they wish to be on. Whoever loses the toss has the remaining option. It
reminds me of a game on the playground - but it's a bit more serious!

2. A player should never touch the net with his racquet or body while playing.

3. It is not permitted to carry or rest the shuttlecock on the racquet.

4. The shuttlecock should not be hit over the net.

5. For a serve to be valid, it must cross the court (diagonally).

6. Until the shuttlecock is struck by the server, a player cannot touch any lines on the court. It is always
best to strike the shuttlecock below the waist during the serve.

7. When a player wins a rally, they get a point added to his score.

8. During a rally, a player wins when his shuttlecock touches the floor of the opponent's side of the court
or when his opponent commits a fault. Failing to hit the shuttlecock over the net or landing outside the
court's boundary is the most common fault.

9. A shuttlecock can only be struck once by each side before it crosses the net. If the shuttlecock is hit, it
cannot be struck again in a new movement or shot.

10. Shuttlecocks that hit the ceiling are counted as faults

Rules and Regulations

1. A Game of Two or Four
Badminton can be played as singles or doubles.
 In a single rally, there will be two players, playing with each other.
 While in a double rally, you can pair up with your friend and play a game of four. But the players are a
set, like the sets of cards.
2. Left or Right
You cannot randomly choose your side as you wish. This is one of the basic badminton rule which needs
to be followed for any rally. At the beginning of the game, when the server’s score is even, then you are
at the right service court. If the servers score is odd, choose the left side.
3. Know Your Weapons
Badminton is played with a stringed racket and a shuttlecock. The cock is topped with feathers and have a
rubber base. The player should always hit the rubber base and not the feathered part. Each player can use
a single stringed racket.
 4. The Serve
The serve is the basic of any badminton play. Serve is the term used according to badminton rules, to hit
the cock during the beginning of each rally. Serve should always be done underarm and below the
server’s waist. An overarm serve is against the rules of badminton, and would be considered a fault.
5. Begin It By a Toss
The basic rule and regulation of any badminton rally, either Olympics or your family play is that, the
game always begins with a toss. When playing with your friends, stop fighting for the first serve, because
you are within the box of the badminton rules! The start is only hosted by a toss; the next first serve
depends on who wins the rally. If you win the first rally, then the next game begins with your serve.
(perks of being the winner).
6. The ‘Net’ Trap
The net is a vital and villainous equipment in the play. If the shuttle cock hits the net or even touches the
net, disqualified! The point goes to your opponent.
7. Tame Your Hands and Your Feet
While the play is on, your feet should never touch the white line bordered around you. Your hands are
your rackets, a hand touch is a foul play, which is beyond the shadow of any doubt.
8. “That’s a Foul Play”!
According to the basic rules of badminton, if your cock touches the ground or if you hit it twice from the
same court, that’s considered a foul play. So there’s no replay or second chance. “In the game of
badminton, you either loose or win, there’s never a chance!”
9. Don’t Be Bully Kid
While a play you should never back or temp your opponent while he/she is serving, which may ward off
their concentration. Feinting the opponents or trying to bully them by any means is unpardonably
offensive. Being a sportsman you will obviously never be the bullying little kid anymore.
10. The Landing
The shuttlecock which is either served or hit, should land inside the service court. Any cock which flew
away the white boundaries will not be counted and yes, your opponent will definitely score.
11. Dock Out!
If the following rules of badminton are continuously broken by a player, then the referee has the undue
right to dock out the player’s point or the player from the game. Be alert! Your actions rules your future.
12. 21 Steps Ahead
To win the game of badminton you must score points before your opponent. Out of 3 sets of play you
must win 2 to be the talented winner.
Rules and Regulations of Badminton for Singles.
In a single rally, there will be two players, playing with each other on opposite sides of the court.
 The serve
One of the important rules of badminton is about the serve. The serve should always be done underarm
and below the server’s waist. An overarm serve is against the basic rules of badminton, and would be
considered a fault.
 Format
At the start of the game, the score is (0-0). You cannot randomly choose your side as you wish. This is
one of the basic badminton rules which needs to be followed for any rally. When the server’s score is
even, the server serves from the right service court. When the server’s score is odd, the server serves from
the left service court.
If the server wins a rally, the server gets a point and then serves again from the alternate side. If the
receiver wins a rally, the receiver scores a point and becomes the new server. The server starts from the
appropriate side– left if their score is odd, and right if the score is even. According to the rules and
regulations of badminton for singles, a “play-by-play” tournament format is followed everywhere,
wherein all players will be paired with an opponent for the first-round matches. These players will have
one week to play their matches before advancing to the next round of the tournament.
 Scoring system
When the server wins the game, a point is scored and serve is retained. When the receiver wins the rally,
they earn the right to serve. However, the ability to gain a point or lose a point will depend on the set of
badminton rules and regulations. A match consists of best-of-three games to 21 points. At 20 all, the
server which gains a two-point lead first wins the game. At 29 all, the side scoring the 30th point first
wins that game. A server in a new game will be the winner of the previous one, and every time there is a
serve, there will be a point scored, unless that point is replayed.
A two-minute break is allowed between each game. A 60-second break can be taken when the leading
score reaches 11 point. In official BWF play, the receiver scores points. However, only the server can
earn points while playing classic-rules badminton in universities.
 Faults
In official games of BWF, faults and errors result in a point for your opponent and you must surrender the
serve to them. A major fault as listed in the badminton rules and regulations for singles is missing the
shuttle while swinging on the serve. If you hit the shuttle but it passes underneath the net, it can be
counted as a fault. Also, when you hit the shuttle out of bounds it is a major fault as per the rules of
badminton. Lastly, touching the shuttle with your body or clothing is frowned upon amongst the basic
rules of badminton. 
‍
 Rules and Regulations of Badminton for Doubles.
 Coin toss
The basic rules and regulations of any badminton rally, either Olympics or leisurely with your family is
that the game always begins with a toss. When playing with your friends, stop fighting for the first serve,
because you must comply with the badminton rules that qualify a coin toss as an appropriate determinant.
The next first serve depends on who wins the rally. If you win the first rally, then the next game begins
with your serve.

 Boundaries
A player out of a team of 2 must serve inside the white lines of the diagonally opposite side so that the
shuttlecock falls inside it. After the receiver returns the serve, the player can hit the shuttle anywhere
within the entire court area

 Format
In doubles, the scoring system can be a little confusing, since there are 2 players in a team who can serve.
A rule of thumb is that a badminton game always starts from the right-hand side The order of server
depends on the score odd or even, the same badminton rules and regulations for doubles as it is for
singles. For example, if both pairs have decided that you and your partner start the game with you
delivering the first serve, the score is 0-0. Since 0 is an even number, you will serve from the right side of
the court. Otherwise, the players continue to stay in their respective service court from where they played
their previous game. From this method, alternate servers are guaranteed.

 Switching sides on the court

In Badminton rules and regulations for doubles entail that the players or teams will switch sides on the
court during the following times:
 
At the end of the first game
Ø At the end of the second game and if a third game is to be played
Ø During the third game if the first player/team scores a total of 11 points.

 Scoring system
If the serving side wins, they score a point and the same server serves again from the alternate service
court. If the receiving side wins, the receiving side scores a point. The receiving side becomes the new
serving side. To win the game of badminton, you must score points before your opponent. Out of 3 sets of
play you must win two. Every time there is a serve, there is a point scored. According to badminton rules
and regulations for doubles, the side of doubles that win a rally adds a point to its score. When both sides
reach 20 all, the side which gains a 2-point lead first, wins that game. When both sides reach 29 all, the
side scoring the 30th point, wins that game.

 Faults
The shuttlecock which is either served or hit should land inside the service court. Any shuttlecock which
flew away from the white boundaries will not be counted and the opponent will score. One side has only
one attempt to retrieve the shuttle, either one of the players is going to hit the shuttle. Even if the shuttle is
accidentally touched by hand, it is still a fault. Also, an important rule of badminton is that only the
receiver can return the serve directed at them.

 
The scoring system in badminton for Single & Doubles
Scoring System
 The best of three 21-point games make up a match.
 Every time someone serves, a point is scored.
 A successful side gains a point for the rally.
 When the score reaches 20, the team that takes a 2-point advantage first wins the match.
 When the score is 29, the team scoring the 30th point wins the match.
 In the next game, the victorious team gets to serve first.
Interval and Change of Ends
 Players take a 60-second break when the top score reaches 11 points.
 There might be a 2-minute break between each game.
 Players switch ends when the leading score hits 11 points in the third game.
Singles
 The server serves from the appropriate service court at the start of the match (0-0) and when their
score is level. The server serves from the left service court when their score is odd.
 After scoring a point, if the server prevails in the rally, the server then serves again from the
secondary service court.
 The winner of a rally earns a point and takes over as the new server. If their score is odd, they
serve from the left service court; if it is even, they serve from the right service court. These are
some badminton singles service rules of scoring.
Doubles
 A side only has one "set."
 The service is sent to the players in a straight line, as seen in the diagram.
 The server serves from the right service court at the start of the game and when the score is tied.
The server serves from the left court when anything is strange.
 The serving side earns a point if it prevails in a rally, and the same server then serves from the
alternative service court.
 A point is awarded to the receiving side after a winning rally—the serving side changes to the
receiving side.
 Until their side wins a point when their side is serving, the players do not switch to their
respective service courts.
‍
What Are The Advantages Of Playing Badminton?
 You can achieve a good physique and toning of muscles. Muscle toning, whose primary focus is
on sculpting the muscles and reducing extra fat rather than building more muscle, can help you
achieve this thin frame. All of the sprinting, hand movements, and various postures used during
the game assist tone your muscles, particularly your buttocks, hamstrings, quadriceps, and glutes.
‍
 Flexibility. We all know that stretching improves flexibility, which helps reduce muscle soreness
and injury risk. Badminton's value in building flexibility cannot be overstated, as the game
mainly emphasises the player's swinging and reaching, which develops considerable flexibility
and agility in the player.
‍
 Concentration is improved. Playing badminton necessitates a high level of concentration. It keeps
you constantly on your toes. When the game becomes more fast-paced, your reflexes improve as
well. It necessitates vigorous movements, helping you to remain attentive. It also enhances your
coordination and makes you more agile. It improves your cognitive performance even further.
Everything in this sport is so intertwined that there is nothing but a slew of advantages, all of
which complement one another!
‍
 It helps in reducing stress. Increased stress levels are one of the most prominent causes of heart
disease and hypertension in adults. Badminton can help you de-stress in as little as 15 minutes. It
helps to relax your mind while also motivating you to perform better.

What are the Disadvantages Of Playing Badminton?

 You can't play by yourself. It's not like jogging or swimming, which you can do alone. In
badminton, you'll need a partner to play with. 
‍
 The price of a game. The cost of playing badminton is pretty high unless you play outside, in
which case you will not need to rent a badminton court; however, if you play indoors, you will
need to rent a badminton court.
‍
Sports injuries are inevitable once you play more. Typical badminton injuries are:
  - Sprained Ankle is an injury that occurs when you roll, twist or turn your ankle in an awkward
way.
  - Achilles Tendonitis is a common condition that causes pain along the back of the leg near the
heel.
  - Tennis Elbow is a condition that causes pain around the outside of the elbow.
  - Rotator Cuff Injury are most often caused by progressive wear and tear of the tendon tissue
over time
  - Patella Tendonitis is an injury to the tendon connecting your kneecap (patella) to your
shinbone.
