What is Badminton
• Badminton is one of the racquet sports requiring players to hit a shuttlecock across a net with a
racket inside a badminton court. Generally, it comes in 2 forms:
• “Singles”, a 1 vs 1 game and
• “Doubles”, a 2 vs 2 games.
• You can play badminton in both indoor or outdoor environments, however, most of the world-class
competitions are held in an indoor area because they want to reduce the influence caused by
external factors such as wind and lights to the minimum level.
 History of Badminton
• Origin of Badminton
Badminton could be traced back to more than 2000 years ago to the ancient game called battledore (bat
or paddle) and shuttlecock (also called “bird” or “birdie”), similar games were played for centuries across
Eurasia countries such as Greece, Egypt, China, India, and Japan.
From the 1600s, battledore and shuttlecock was just a game involving 2 persons hitting a shuttlecock towards each
other as many times as possible before it hit the ground and it used to be an upper-class game in Europe, including
England.
Nowadays, You can still find a similar game in Japan which is called Hanetsuki, it’s a very popular new year’s game
involving a wooden paddle called hagoita and a shuttle called hane.
Who invented the game of badminton?

Badminton was invented in a British India version called Poona, British army officers learned
the game by around 1870 and they bought it back to England with them. Badminton was named
Badminton because the Duke of Beaufort introduced this sport at his country estate located in
Gloucestershire which is called “Badminton House” in 1873.

What is the original name of badminton?

The original name of badminton was called “Battledore and shuttlecock”, and you can
find similar games in ancient Greece and Egypt. It used to be a game that could have
multiple players involved, and each of them will hit a shuttlecock with feathers with
rackets.
By 18 century, since a similar game had become very popular in the Poona version in
British India, it was also named Poona before it was called badminton.
Why is badminton called badminton?

Badminton was called badminton because it was officially introduced to England in the “Badminton House”, a
country estate owned by the Duke of Beaufort in Gloucestershire by 1873. Since then, Badminton was named
“Badminton” instead of “Poona” and “Battledore and Shuttlecock”.

Where did modern badminton start?

Modern Badminton started in Gloucestershire of England by 1873 since Duke of Beaufort introduced this sport
to his friends. By 1875, the first badminton club was started in Folkestone, England.
J. H. E. Hart standardized the rules of badminton and by 1893, the first set of rules similar to modern badminton
was published by the Badminton Association of England.
Badminton’s roots are tied to similar games named “Battledore and Shuttlecock”, which could be traced back to
over 2000 years ago, in ancient Greece and Egypt.

Grip
• The right grip in holding the racket is really important to achieve control on shots while avoiding
the chances of a wrist injury. A proper grip will allow you to play both backhand and forehand
strokes effortlessly.
• Holding a racket is similar to a friendly handshake. Just the thumb will be comfortably placed
against the wider surface of the handle grip. The rest of the hand will imitate a handshake.
Remember to keep the handshake friendly, avoiding a tight grip. It will hinder flexibility in motion
and also might lead to wrist injuries in the long term.
• Backhand and forehand Grip: Basic Skills in Badminton
• The only difference while playing the 2 kinds of strokes is in the use of fingers.
• Push the index finger forward while playing forehand strokes.
• Push the thumb forward while playing backhand strokes.
Stance
The stance is how you stand while playing badminton, both in between a rally and before the serve. A
stable and correct stance will bring a huge change in the results due to easier movement. There are 3
types of stance:

• Attacking Stance-It is used to get into position before playing an overhead forehand stroke. To
stand in the attacking stance turn your body facing the sidelines with the racket leg behind and
both legs shoulder-width apart. Now raise both racket and non-racket arms to generate the power
to attack the shuttle on its downward trajectory.
• Defensive Stance-To defend the opponent’s smash, you need to be prepared with a defensive
stance. Face the body to the net and place your racket in front at waist height, slightly pointing
forward. You can keep the non-racket arm comfortable while ensuring a better balance.
• Net Stance-This stance is to be ready for the opponent’s return after playing a net shot. To play this
shot, place your foot on the racket side forward while keeping a non-racket foot at the back. Place
the racket in front of the body, slightly above waist height while raising the non-racket arm. Shift
the body weight slightly forward to be ready to pounce forward.
Attacking Stance Defensive Stance Net Stance-
Footwork

• Badminton is played on a badminton court with limited space, and the athletes have to take care of
the same while playing. Footwork plays a huge role in helping with an effective and organized
movement on the court. In fact, some coaches even raise footwork to prime importance over other
skills.
Tips for proper footwork
• Always remember the base (starting point).
• Move only 2-3 steps backward.
• Shuffle only 1 step sideward.
• Move only 2-3 steps front.
Serve

• Service is among the most basic skill that you need to master in Badminton. Also, you should
ensure to make a legal service otherwise it might lead to penalty points. Check out Badminton
rules and dimensions here.
There can be 2 types of service in badminton, depending on the landing aim of the shuttle.
• High Serve-High serve aims at the back-end corner of the opponent’s court. Ideally, a good high
serve results in the shuttle dropping steeply downwards at the back end of the court. In fact, a high
serve is presented to opponents having the ability to executing a strong smash. You can always
expect a lob or a drop from your opponent as a reply to a properly executed high serve.
• Generally, it is recommended to serve the shuttle to the opponent’s backhand area. This to exploit
the weaker backhand that exists in the game of most of the players.
• Low Serve -Unlike high serve, the low serve aims to the front of the court. The objective is to let
the shuttle fly just above the net landing in the front corner of the court. In this case, your
opponent has the opportunity to dash forward and smash the shuttle to you if the execution is
poor.
Smash
• Smash is the most potent and powerful stroke in badminton which naturally turns out to be the
most familiar term to all. The shot is basically to hit the shuttle powerfully towards the opponent’s
body or downward on the court. A perfectly executed smash has no defense. This badminton skill
is the most aggressive and technical one.
Fundamentally there are 3 types of smashes:
• Forehand smash-The forehand is an overhead smash which is similar to the action of throwing a
ball. You shouldn’t have a problem playing this stroke if you can throw a ball well. This skill in
badminton acts as a game-changer for beginners.
• Backhand smash-This is one of the toughest strokes in badminton, and even experts face difficulty
in playing the stroke. Still, it is important to practice and get the technique to rise in the skill level.
To execute this stroke, getting the backhand grip is extremely important. Also, it is equally
important to return back to stance. Backhand smash skill in badminton requires years of practice
and consistency.
• Jumping smash-A forehand smash with a timed jump added to it counts under jumping smash.
This skill in badminton is the most glamorous of all.
 Drop Shot
Amongst all the basic skills in Badminton, the drop shot is the most technical one. Badminton Drop Shots are delicate
badminton shots that can win you points that aim at scoring points in deception. Played with both backhand and
forehand, these are used to move the opponent to the frontcourt. This creates space in the midcourt and backcourt for you
to exploit. There are slow and fast drop shots, played judging the situation. This fundamental badminton skill if
developed properly can turn an intermediate player into an expert.
Clear
The lobor Lob
shot in Badminton can be imagined as a shot with an inverted ‘U’ trajectory. It is normally played from
the forecourt with an aim to lift or ‘lob’ the shuttle over the opponent. The idea is to land it as near to the
baseline as it is, at an angle that is impossible to clear. This is similar to the drop in challenging the opponent
with sudden motion backward this time. It can also be executed by both backhand and forehand. This generally
results in the creation of space in the front and midcourt, opening plenty of opportunities. It is one of the basic
badminton skill one can learn with practice without joining coaching.
4 Basic Strokes
• Overhead forehand – the most common we see, the first to learn
• Overhead backhand – many people’s main weakness
• Underarm forehand – a low shot on the forehand side
• Underarm backhand – a low shot on the backhand side
Rules of the game
Each organization is allowed 1 singles and 1 doubles team. A student may compete in both.

Rules

not be touching the line at this time.
It is not a fault if you miss the shuttle while serving.
The shuttle cannot be caught and slung with the racket.
A player cannot hold his racket near the net to ward off a downward stroke by his opponent or to
