Brief History of Badminton

• Although the exact origins of badminton are unclear,

games based on a shuttlecock and a battledore were
played in China, Japan, India, Siam and Greece over
2000 years ago.
• Between 1856 and 1859 a game known as “battledore
and shuttlecock” started to evolve into the modern game
of badminton at “Badminton House”, the Duke of
Beaufort’s country estate in England.
Brief History of Badminton

• Similar games were played in Poona India around this

time and the badminton code of conduct was drawn up in
1877.
• The aim of battledore and shuttlecock played at
“Badminton House” was to keep the shuttlecock in the air
for as long as possible by hitting the shuttle between two or
more people. The reverse is true today. The aim now is to
finish a rally as quickly as possible by scoring winning
points against your opponent.
Brief History of Badminton

• In 1893, the Badminton Association of England was

formed to administer badminton internationally from
England.
Basic Terminologies

• Alley – the extension of the court by 1 1/2 ft. on both sides

for doubles play.
• Back Alley – the area between the back boundary line and
the long service line for doubles.
• Baseline – the back boundary line at each end of the court,
parallel to the net.
• Bird – also called the shuttlecock.
• Center Line – a line perpendicular to the net that separates
the left and right service courts.
• Clear – a shot hit deep to the opponents’ back boundary line.
The high clear is a defensive shot, while the flatter attacking
clear is used offensively.
• Drive – a fast and low shot that makes a horizontal flight
over the net.
• Drop – a shot hit softly and with finesse to fall rapidly, and
close to the net on the opponent’s side.
• Fault – a violation of the playing rules, either in serving,
receiving or during play.
• Flick – a quick wrist and forearm rotation that surprises an
opponent by changing an apparently soft shot into a faster
passing one; used primarily on the serve and at the net.
• Half-court shot – a shot hit low and to mid-court, used
effectively in doubles against the up-and-back formation.
• Kill – a fast downward shot that cannot be returned. Also
called as “put-away”
• Let – a legitimate cessation of a play to allow a rally to be
replayed.
• Long Service Line – in singles, the back boundary line. In
doubles, a line 2 1/2 ft. inside the back boundary line. The
server may not go past this line.
• Match – a series of games to determine a winner.
• Net Shot – a shot hit from the forecourt that just clears the
net and then falls rapidly.
• Push Shot – a gentle shot played by pushing the shuttle
with little wrist motion, usually from the net or mid-court to
the opponent’s mid-court.
• Rally – the exchange of shots while the shuttle is in play.
• Serve (Service) – a stroke used to put the shuttlecock
into play at the start of a rally
• Service Court – an area into which the serve must be
delivered, differs for singles and doubles play.
• Smash – a hard-hit overhead shot that forces the shuttle
sharply downward. The Badminton’s primary attacking
stroke.
• Wood Shot – a shot those results when the base of the
shuttle is hit by the frame of the racket. Once illegal, but it
has been accepted as part of the rules by the
International Badminton Federation in 1963
FACILITIES AND
AND
EQUIPMENT
The Court

• The badminton court measures 5.18 m x 13.40m for

singles and 6.11 m x 11.88m for the doubles.
The Net

• At all times, this should be strained tightly so that its

height from the floor is 1.524 (5 ft.) long at the post. A
measuring rod should be kept by the umpires chair to
facilitate regular testing to ensure the net is still and its
correct central height and has not sagged.
Racket

• Badminton racket is quite light and can be made of wood,

aluminum, metal or synthetic materials such as graphite
or carbon. A synthetic racket is quite popular now
because of its extreme lightness and strength.

• A badminton racket weighs roughly 98-100 grams (3 1/2

oz), and is 68 cm. in length.
Head– bounds the stringed area.

Throat – connects the shaft to the head.

Shaft – connects the handle to the head

Handle – is intended for a player’s grip

Butt – is located at the tip of the handle

Frame – includes the head, the throat, the shaft and

the handle. It is no more than 680 mm. or wider than
230 mm.
Shuttlecock

• It is the official name given to the shuttle or bird. It is

made up of 16 goose feathers and is firmly fixed in a
leather covered cork head. It weighs from 4.74-5.50
grams. It may be made of feathers, plastic or nylon
Basic Rules and Regulation

Badminton is:
•a net game
•played on a rectangular court
•a volleying game, with rallies beginning with an underarm
serve
•a game that has five disciplines – singles (men/women),
doubles and mixed (men/women)
Diagram 1. Singles Badminton involves
serving diagonally into a long, service box.
Rallying then continues on along court with
the border on the first side line.
Diagram 2. Doubles badminton involves
serving diagonally into a shorter, wider
service box than in singles badminton.
After the serve, rallying takes place on the
whole court area.
The aim of the game is to score
points by:
• landing the shuttlecock in your opponent’s court
• forcing your opponents to hit the shuttlecock out of the
court area;
• forcing your opponent to hit the shuttlecock into the net;
and
• striking your opponent’s body with the shuttle
