 Badminton is officially the fastest of all racket sports. Players can hit the shuttlecock at
speeds of up to 180mph (288kph) toward their opponent. It is not just all about speed; a player
can expect to run up to four miles (6.4km) around the court during a match while having the
agility to maintain energy-busting rallies.
So, while stamina and agility are important, certainly at a competitive level, anyone can
play badminton and the sport is a popular choice for people of all ages and fitness abilities.
What do you think about how badminton started? What equipment should be used while
playing badminton? What are the skills that you need to develop in playing the said sport? How
will you manage to treat yourself in case you get an injury?

This module will help you know more about badminton— the history, equipment, the basic
strokes and hits, and common injuries.

Lesson 1: History of Badminton and Badminton Equipment

Badminton has a cosmopolitan history. The rules of the modern game were developed
in England, but it is now Asian countries that dominate the sport.

Badminton was known in ancient times; an early form of the sport was played in ancient
Greece. In Japan, the related game Hanetsuki was played as early as the 16th century.
In the west, badminton came from a game called Battledore and Shuttlecock, in which two or
more players keep a feathered shuttlecock in the air with small rackets.
The game was called "Poona" in India during the 18th century, and British Army officers
stationed there took a competitive Indian version back to England in the 1860s, where it was
played at country houses as an upper-class amusement. Isaac Spratt, a London toy dealer,
published a booklet, "Badminton Battledore - a new game" in 1860, but unfortunately, no copy
has survived.

The new sport was definitively launched in 1873 at the Badminton House,
Gloucestershire, owned by the Duke of Beaufort. During that time, the game was referred to as
"The Game of Badminton," and the game's official name became Badminton.
Until 1887 the sport was played in England under the rules that prevailed in India. The Bath
Badminton Club standardized the rules and made the game applicable to English ideas. The
basic regulations were drawn up in 1887. 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. 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 originated in England, international badminton has
traditionally been dominated by a few Asian countries, plus Denmark from Europe.

China, Indonesia, South Korea and Malaysia are among the nations that have 3
consistently produced world-class players in the past few decades and dominated
competitions on the international level, with China being the most dominant in recent years.

Badminton House
Badminton takes its name from Badminton House - home of the Duke of Beaufort in the
English county of Gloucestershire. In 1873, the duke is credited with bringing a version of the
game POONA - back from India and introducing it to his guests.

Getting Organized
The sport quickly grew in popularity and in 1877 the first set of written rules were
devised by the newly formed Bath Badminton Club. The Badminton Federation of England was
created 16 years later and in 1899 it organized the first All England Championships.

Olympic History
Badminton made its debut as a demonstration sport at the 1972 Olympic Games in
Munich. It was not until the 1992 Games in Barcelona that it was officially included in the
Olympic program, with men’s and women’s singles and doubles events. The mixed doubles
event made its debut in 1996 at the Atlanta Olympic Games. Since then, the number of events
has remained unchanged.
Although the creation of modern badminton is attributed to England, it is Asia that now
dominates this sport. Between 1992 and 2008, Asian countries won 69 of the 76 medals
available in the Olympic competition! The dominant countries are China, Indonesia and the
Republic of Korea, followed by Great Britain and Denmark.

Badminton Equipment

1. Badminton Racket

Modern Badminton Rackets are light in weight and don’t

weigh more than 100 grams. The frame of the Racket can be
made of common metals like steel or aluminum. Sometimes
rackets are made of alloys, tough carbon fiber, ceramic, or
boron. Its length does not exceed 680mm and its width does not
exceed 230mm.

2. Shuttlecock

Sixteen (16) feathers fixed in a cork base enveloped in a

thin leather sheet make a shuttlecock. Interestingly, the
best Badminton Shuttlecocks are made from feathers
from the wing of a goose. The shuttle weighs between
4.74 to 5.50 grams.

5
3. Badminton Net
The Badminton Net is the
central gameplay element in a
game of Badminton, requiring
players to return the shuttlecock
from one side of the court to the
other during the match. Made taut
by the use of weighted tension
poles on the outside edges of the
badminton court, the badminton
net is allowed to sag slightly in the
center of the span. Unlike other
sports nets that require the poles
to be installed permanently,
badminton nets are often mobile
and can be moved and set up quickly when ready for play. Variations of badminton nets come
in polyethylene, nylon, and vinyl.

Badminton Accessories

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

b. Badminton Clothes
Comfortable T-shirts and shorts that don’t hinder your movement are ideal to play
Badminton. A cotton round-neck or a collared t-shirt with a pair of light shorts are usually
preferred.

c. 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.

d. Wrist Band
5
If you perspire a lot, you may consider getting a wristband that prevents your
sweat from flowing to your racket handle.

e. Head Band
Wear a Headband 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.

Lesson 2: Skills in Badminton

1. GRIP- way of holding the racket to hit shots during a match. Also, the wrapping around the
handle of the racket. Two of the most common grips used in badminton are the forehand grip
and backhand grip.

FOREHAND GRIP- this is used to hit shots that are on the forehand side of your body and
around the headshots.
a. Gently hold the racket head with your non-playing hand so that the handle points toward you.

7
b. Your racket face shall be perpendicular to the floor.
c. Place your playing hand on the handle as if you are shaking hands with it.
d. There shall be a V shape in between your thumb and your index finger.
c. The racket handle shall rest loosely in your finger for greater flexibility.

BACKHAND GRIP- also known as the thumb grip. This grip is used to hit shots that are on the
backhand side of your body.

a. Hold the racket as you would on a forehand grip.

b. Turn the racket anti-clockwise so that the V shape moves leftwards.
c. Place your thumb against the back level of the handle for greater leverage and power.
d. The racket handle shall also rest loosely in your fingers.
e. Can try shortening your grip and place it nearer to the shaft to increase accuracy when
serving and hitting from the forecourt and midcourt.

SERVE- the most important aspect of the game,

as it is the one-shot that has to be in every single rally.
a. High Serve- This type of serve is usually executed when you want the shuttle to land at the
back end of the court. A high serve will prevent your opponent from executing a strong smash.
The objective is to force your opponent to use his backhand.
b. Low Serve- The low serve is used when you want the shuttlecock to land in front of the
court. A low serve, when executed beautifully, prevents your opponent from making an
offensive shot.
3. FOOTWORK- Good badminton footwork is simply having the ability to reach the shuttle early
while on balance. You can skip, shuffle, bow, glide, chase step, or lunge on the court.

BASIC STROKES AND HITS

8
1. Clear – shot done with the stroke above the head, the shuttle traveling up targeting the long
service line, usually done to give the player time to return to the base position.

2. Serve – the shot that starts every point; hit from either the deuce court, standing to the right
side of the center mark when facing the net at the baseline or the ad court, standing to the left
side of the center mark.

3. Groundstroke – a stroke typically hit standing a few feet from the baseline, either hit as a
forehand or a backhand.

4. Volley – a shot that is hit before the ball bounces or hits the court approaching the net or
while at the net; can beforehand, backhand, or half volley.

5. Lob – shot done with the stroke below the head about waist-level the ball traveling up.

6. Net/Drop/Shot – shot usually done with the stroke above or below the head, the ball
traveling up but dropping just near the net, can be done using either backhand or forehand.

7. Smash – an offensive shot fired above the head from a high point and travels down steeply
towards your opponent.

8. Drive- shot usually done with the stroke about the level of the head, the shuttle traveling
straight or flat over the net.
