Introduction
Badminton
• an indoor sport played by two opposing players (singles) or two pairs
(doubles), who use a shuttlecock during a rally to try to land it on their
opponents’ court or force an error.
• A match is played in a best-of-three games format. To win the match, a
player must secure two out of three games, each played to 21 points.
• Additionally, a player must achieve a 2-point advantage to win a game. If
that advantage is not reached, the first player to score 30 points wins the
game.
• Points were awarded only to the serving side until 2006, when the BWF
adopted the “rally scoring” system, under which either side can score at
any time.
Introduction
Objective of the game

Be the first team to reach 21 points by hitting the

shuttlecock over the net and preventing the other team
from returning it.
Equipment
Rackets
• This is the most basic equipment of
badminton, without a racket we can not
strike the shuttlecock.
• According to BWF specifications, the
string length can not be more than 27.94
cm and its width can’t be more than 20.9
cm. The full length of a racket can not be
more than 68 cm and the width can not
be more than 23 cm, BWF says.
Equipment
Shuttlecock
• Another essential equipment for
badminton is the shuttlecock. You
have rackets but does not have a
shuttlecock, the game still can’t be
played.
• Mostly shuttlecock comes in 2
variants, feathered and synthetic.
• The weight of a shuttlecock should not
exceed 5.50 grams and should not be
less than 4.74 grams.
Equipment
Badminton Net
• Another important piece of equipment for badminton is the net.
• You can play badminton with a racket and shuttlecock but it
would not be a fair play because there are a lot of rules in
badminton that require a badminton net.
• The height of the badminton net is exact 5 feet not more not
less. The badminton net placed in the court using two poles
situated at the end of the court.
Equipment
Badminton Shoes
• Badminton is not only played with hands, it requires the full support
of your feet. Every time if you are playing badminton, you have to
move quickly to hit the shuttlecock. That’s why you need a pair of
highly comfortable and flexible shoes, that will allow you to move
quickly all around the court without any trouble

Badminton Grip
• A grip made of cloth or synthetic fiber or any other material must be
required for the badminton racket handle. It absorbs the sweat of
your hand and provides a drier feel.
Equipment
Badminton Socks
• Always wear a pair of socks that are made of cotton because cotton
absorbs the sweat of feet and does not let your feet slide inside the
shoes. We do not recommend using nylon socks as they do not
absorb sweat.

Rules of the Game
Service Court Error
When a player serves out of turn, serves from the wrong service, or
stands on the wrong service court, this is a service court error. You
can only enforce a service court error if it is discovered before the
next serve. Here are the rules if a service court error is discovered:
• If both sides committed a service court error, it is a “let.”
• If the player who committed a service court error won the rally,
it is a “let.”
• If the player who committed a service court error lost the rally,
there is no error.
Rules of the Game
SERVING RULES FOR BADMINTON DOUBLES
The service court boundary is slightly larger in doubles.
The non-serving and non-receiving players on each team
may stand anywhere on the court as long as they are not
in the way of the server or receiver. The designated
server continues to serve for their team until the
opposing team gets a point. The players on the serving
team should swap positions after each serve because the
server will need to switch between the left and right
service courts after each point.
Rules of the Game
RALLY
• After the serve, the players hit the shuttlecock back
and forth over the net until one player faults or fails to
return the shuttlecock. The rally can go on for as long
as the players continue to hit the shuttlecock legally

cannot hit the shuttlecock more than once in a row.
