Badminton ( DUAL
SPORTS)
History
Badminton has a surprisingly long history given its relatively recent
introduction to the Olympics in 1992. It’s origin dates back at least two
thousand years ago when the game was referred to as Battledore or Shuttlecock.
The shuttlecock is often referred to as a birdie because it is made out of
16 feathers.

Serving and Scoring

● Play to 21 points using rally score. (Must win by 2)
● The serve must be delivered so that the birdie is hit (contacted) below the
waist.
● The birdie must travel into the diagonally opposite serve/receive box.
● You do not get a second chance on your serve.

Doubles

● When the score is “0”, the partner in the right service box serves first. If the
serving team wins a point, the partners of the serving team switch places so
that the same partner serves again but from the left service box. The partners
on the receiving team never switch places while they are receiving (being
served to).
● Partners do not switch places unless they win a point WHILE they are
serving.
● Once a receiving team wins a rally and the right to serve, their score at the
time will determine which one of them will be the next server. If their score is
an ”odd” number, the partner on the left will be the server. If their score is an
“even” number, the partner on the right will be the next server. This server
continues serving until they lose a rally….and each time they score a point
while they are serving, the partners will switch service boxes.
● The receiver in the service court diagonal to the server must be the one to
return the serve. Once a serve is returned the players can move to anywhere
on the court and either one can hit the birdie. but, the birdie may only be hit
once per side.

Nature and Purpose of the game

Badminton is a racket game played by two (singles) or four (doubles) players on
a rectangular court. The object is to serve the shuttle strategically and thereafter
direct it with speed or accuracy to an unprotected point on the opponent’s court
so that the opponent is unable to return the shuttle across the net or into the
proper boundaries of the court area. Likewise, the opponent attempts to prevent
the shuttle from falling to the court on his side of the net and to return it to an
unprotected spot in his opponent’s court.

Rally – a sequence of one or more strokes starting with the service, until the
shuttle ceases to be in play.
In side – team serving
Out side – the team receiving
Odd and Even Courts – In singles: At the beginning of the game and when
the score is even, the server serves from the right service court. When it is odd,
the server serves from the left service court. If the server wins a rally, the
server scores a point and then serves again from alternate service court. If the
receiver wins a rally, the receiver scores a point and becomes the new server.

high arc falling deep in the
opponent’s court

opponent’s court and a full arm follow through is used. A smash is used when an
opponent is positioned near the net
Drop Shot – overhead shot that causes the birdie to fall to the ground
immediately after crossing the net.
The motion of the arm is reduced with no follow through (popping motion)
Hair Pin – Underhand shot travels directly over the net from one side to the
other. The birdie shouldtravel low over the net and drop close to opponent’s side
of the net.
Drives – Forehand or backhand shots that are hard and fast toward the
opponent’s back court and the flight is parallel to the floor.
