WHAT IS A BADMINTON?
BADMINTON IS A RACQUET SPORT PLAYED USING RACQUETS TO

HIT A SHUTTLECOCK ACROSS A NET. ALTHOUGH IT MAY BE
PLAYED WITH LARGER TEAMS, THE MOST COMMON FORMS OF
THE GAME ARE "SINGLES" AND "DOUBLES"
HISTORY OF BADMINTON
• ORIGINATED IN SIAM, CHINA OVER 2,000 YEARS AGO.
• 1870 – WAS BROUGHT TO ENGLAND AND PLAYED BY THE SOLDIERS.
• “POONA” WAS FIRST CALLED BY RETURNING MILITARY SERVICE IN
INDIA.
• 1929 – ARRIVED IN AMERICA AND BECAME POPULAR.
• 1903 – THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL BADMINTON COMPETITION WAS
PLAYED IN IRELAND.
• 1934 – INTERNATIONAL BADMINTON FEDERATION (IBF) WAS FOUNDED.
• 1992 – HAS BECOME AN OLYMPIC SPORT.
HOW BADMINTON IS PLAYED
• WHEN SERVED, THE SHUTTLE HAS TO FALL INTO THE

CORRESPONDING COURT DIAGONALLY OPPOSITE THE SERVER. THE
RECEIVING PLAYER THEN RETURNS THE SHUTTLE AND CONTINUES TO
DO SO UNTIL ONE PLAYER EITHER FAILS TO RETURN THE SHUTTLE OR
COMMITS A FAULT.
• IN BADMINTON, A FAULT CONSISTS OF A SHUTTLE FALLING OUTSIDE

THE BOUNDARIES, FAILING TO GO OVER THE NET, AND/OR GOING
THROUGH THE NET. STRIKING THE SHUTTLE BEFORE IT CROSSES THE
NET AND TOUCHING THE NET WITH THE RACQUET OR PART OF THE
BODY ALSO QUALIFY AS FAULTS.
GEAR AND EQUIPMENT

A RACKET IS USED IN BADMINTON TO HIT THE SHUTTLECOCK BACK
AND FORTH.

THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF SHUTTLECOCKS - PLASTIC AND
FEATHERED SHUTTLECOCKS.

HEAD' OF THE BADMINTON RACKET.

BADMINTON SHOES

DESIGNED TO GIVE YOU BETTER
TRACTION AND GRIP TO STOP IN
TIME TO RETURN A SHOT. THEY

ABSORB IMPACT WHEN YOU
JUMP OR LAND.
BADMINTON ATTIRE
FOR CASUAL TO NON-

COMPETITIVE PLAYERS, A
COMFORTABLE PAIR OF SHORTS

IS SUFFICIENT. SOME PLAYERS
MAY WANT TO EQUIP THEMSELVES
WITH HAND GRIPS, WRIST BANDS
AND ANKLE GUARDS.
PLAYING TECHNIQUES

IT TO BE RETURNED WITH A SMASH.
