QUARTER 4 – MODULE 2

MELC: Participates in active recreation.

Part I
A. Introduction
In this module, the learner should be able to learn the history and objective of the game
badminton. Also, the different basic skills and the benefits of playing the said indoor activity. Engaging
in physical activity is one big step that you can do to start changing your lifestyle into a healthier and
more active one. Being active would mean getting yourself into active recreation such as sports, which
includes the game badminton. So let us begin the fun in learning the game BADMINTON!

B. Discussion
HISTORY OF BADMINTON
Badminton is one of the examples of indoor recreational activities. Badminton is believed
to have originated from the game “Poona” that was played by English Army officers stationed in India
during the 17th century.

OBJECTIVE OF PLAYING THE GAME BADMINTON

The objective of badminton is similar to that of other racket games. This game can be played
in three variants; singles, doubles, and mixed doubles. A shuttlecock is shot with a racket across the
net, called a serve, to player(s) on the other side of the court who try to send it back.

Each player tries to land the shuttlecock on the opposite teams while intercepting it on their
side. The shuttlecock has to fly over the net and reach the other side once a player hits it. The
shuttlecock volleys among the players to make a rally, and they hit it with their rackets till it lands on
the court or till one of the players commits a fault.

The player scores a point if the opposite player misses the shuttlecock. These hits can either
be smashes, slow and light, or flat and low.

Learning and inculcating the basic objectives of badminton is the first step towards
getting into the game. Beside these, it's a good idea to get to know more about the equipment laws,
which equipment can be used - the design of the racquet, the weight and shape of the shuttlecock (for
correct speed). Surprisingly there is no rule for the minimum height of the ceiling, but
nevertheless, a low ceiling would be problematic.

Badminton Racket

The badminton racket has five major parts to it – the stringed area, the head, the throat, the
shaft, and the handle. The racket in its entirety is called a frame. The frame can have a maximum
length of 680mm while the overall width is restricted to 230mm.

Badminton Shuttlecock

A shuttlecock (also called a bird or birdie) is a high-drag projectile used in the sport
of badminton. It has an open conical shape formed by feathers (or a synthetic alternative) embedded
into a rounded cork (or rubber) base. The shuttlecock's shape makes it extremely aerodynamically
stable. Shuttlecock was a small cork hemisphere with 16 goose feathers attached and weighing about
0.17 ounce (5 grams).

DID YOU KNOW?

Badminton is an indoor sport because the shuttlecock is light in weight. As a result, it
is easily blown away by the wind. Since wind is the only factor that
makes badminton an indoor game, the game is played on a rectangular indoor court.
Therefore, it is an indoor sport.

KINDS OF SERVICE IN BADMINTON

Low serve- is used when you

want the shuttlecock to land in front of
the court (in front of your opponent). A
GOOD low serve will have the
shuttlecock flying JUST ABOVE THE
NET. If not, your opponent will have the
chance to dash forward and smash the

High serve- This type of service

is usually executed when you want the
shuttle to land at the back end of the
court. A GOOD high serve must have the
shuttle dropping steeply downwards at the
back end of the court.

Flick serve- is best used when

your opponent is rushing you and you're
under pressure.

 Drive Serve- This is considered
an attacking serve and can be used in
singles and doubles. The shuttle will
travel at a flatter angle pass the net with
pace.

BASIC SKILLS IN BADMINTON

Smash- is hit with power and speed downward into the opponent's court. The angle and the
steepness of the shuttlecock's trajectory make it hard for the opponent to retrieve and return.

Drop shot- The aim is to trick your opponent into believing you are going to execute a
clear or a smash, thus luring them out of position and to the end of the badminton court in
anticipating. Then instead of a smash or clear, you execute a delicate drop shot that instead lands just
after the net, throwing your opponent off balance.

Lob or Clear shot- is a useful shot that aims to push the ball high and deep into the
opponent's court. It can be used as a defensive shot or when executed correctly, a great
offensive shot as well. The lob is most effective when the opponent is at the net, leaving the baseline
open.

Net shorts- is played from the net and when played correctly should just tumble over the
top of the net and drop as close to the net as possible on the opponents. Try and reach the shuttle
before it drops too low to make the shot easier and give the opponent less time to react.

BENEFITS OF SPORTS
Badminton is a good recreation activity that involves the physical dimension. It enhances the
metabolism of the body which in turn is a factor in losing weight. While playing badminton, the
constant racket swings in receiving shuttlecock, leg stretches in saving net and drop shots and power
jumps for smashing burns more calories Participation in badminton helps you to manage your weight
appropriate for your age and height. This can be achieved better when combined with proper diet.

Aside from the physical dimension, the game also has claims on affecting the different
dimensions of health of a person. When players control their feelings during games, the emotional
dimension is involved.

4
 Playing with strategies and tactics involves the intellectual dimension. Thinking of ways on
where to direct the shuttlecock gives you an advantage of winning and enjoying the game.

The social dimension is seen when players build good relationships. Trusting your teammate
builds camaraderie and teamwork.
