MODULE 5

The Serve
Prepared by: Maria Casandra S. Argonza

Duration: (Week 13-15)


Methods: Modular or Online

At the end of the lesson, you are able to;


1. Execute the different kinds of service use in badminton.

Serving
 High Serve (Figure 1)
 Use this badminton serve during singles play to move your
opponent as far back in court as possible, thus opening up his
court. Be more cautious if you use this serve during doubles.
Opponents with strong attacking abilities will work this serve to
your disadvantage.
 Played with a forehand underarm action. n Stand two to three feet
behind the short service line. n Relax your body and bent your
knees slightly.
 Lead with your non-racket leg and place your racket leg behind. n
Bring your racket back to almost your shoulder level then swing it
forward following the rhythm of the stroke. n Hold the shuttle by the
feathers and let it drop slightly in front of you.
 Hit it with the flat face of your racket and follow through until your
racket reaches the non-racket side of your head.
Figure 7.1

 Low Serve (Figure 2)


 Use this badminton serve when you want your
opponent to lift the shuttle. It is commonly used
during doubles, but you can use it during singles
too if your opponent’s attack is too strong. You
can use either forehand or backhand to play this
serve.

Figure 7.2
 Forehand
 Stand two to three feet behind the short service line.
 Relax your body and bent your knees slightly.
 Lead with your non-racket leg and place your racket leg behind.
 Bring your racket back to your waist level then start your forward swing.
 Hold the shuttle by the feathers and bring it closer to meet the racket instead of dropping it in front.
 Contact the shuttle at a higher point but still below your waist line.
 Push the shuttle with the racket face and try to make the shuttle skim the tape of the net.
 If you normally use high serve during singles, mix the low serve in occasionally. You might be able to catch your opponent
off-guard if you can execute it well.
 Backhand
 Stand in a comfortable and balanced position with your racket hand in front.
 Lead with your racket leg and place your non-racket leg behind with your feet pointing towards your opponent.
 Carry out a short back swing then bring the racket forward.
 Hold the shuttle on the tip of the feathers in front of your waist level.
 Push the shuttle with the racket face and try to make the shuttle skim the tape of the net.
 You can try to shorten the grip for a better control of the racket.
 Beware of breaking the Service Rules.
