BADMINTON
Lesson 1
INTRODUCTION
Badminton is an indoor skill sport and considered to be the faster racquet-sport played by either two
opposing players (singles) or two opposing duos/pairs (doubles). The players or dous/pairs take
positions in opposite halves of a rectangular court that is divided by a net.
The sport uses a shuttlecock also called a birdy or shuttle, which is 16-feathered projective material
fixed in a cock base covered in a kid leather that has the aerodynamic properties of flying. The
players strike the shuttlecock with their rackets so that it passes over the net and into the opponents’
half of the court. The rally ends once a player commits a fault or the shuttlecock touches the floor.
Badminton consists of five events namely: men’s singles, women’s singles, men’s doubles, women’s
doubles, and mixed doubles. The player/s must score 21 points with 2 points advantage against an
opponent/s.
Badminton evolved from a similar game called battledore played in fifth-century B.C. China. The
people in China then played a game called ti jian zi. A direct translation from this word ‘ti jian zi’ is
kicking the shuttle. As the name suggests, the objective of the game is to keep the shuttle from hitting
the ground without using hand. Whether this sport has anything to do with the history of Badminton is
up for debate. It was, however, the first game that used a Shuttle.
About five centuries later, a game named battledore and shuttlecock was played in China, Japan,
India and Greece. This is a game where you use the battledore (a paddle) to hit the shuttlecock back
and forth. By the 16th century, it has become a popular game among children in England. In Europe
this game was known as jeu de volant to them. In the 1860s, a game named Battledore and Shuttlecock
but with an added net. The British army learned this game in India and took the equipment back to
England during the 1870s.
The game we all know as badminton began in the 19th century and (1870) and was named by
the Duke of Beaufort after the Badminton House in Gloucestershire. The International Badminton
Federation now has its base in Gloucestershire.
England played the same badminton rules as India until 1887. The Bath Badminton Club
standardized the rules and regulations, making the game more inclined towards the English ideas of
how the game should be played. The Badminton Association of England published the first set of rules
in line with the new regulations in 1893 and officially launched the game of badminton. The All England
Open Badminton Championships began in 1899 and were the world’s first badminton competition.
The history of badminton in the United States began with the first badminton club, the Badminton
Club of New York, founded in 1878. The game flourished in the 1930s when places such as the YMCA
and educational institutions began offering badminton instruction. Badminton became a popular
pastime for many Hollywood stars including James Cagney, Bette Davis, Ginger Rogers and Douglas
Fairbanks, which also helped to promote the sports in the 1930s.
The different badminton groups throughout the United States got together to standardize the
rules and regulations of the game in 1936. 1937 saw the first ABA championships and a year later it
became a member of the International Badminton Federation.
The United States singles player, David Freeman, won the All England World Championships in
1949, while the All England World Championship doubles were won the same year by the American
players Clinton and Patsy Stevens, although the All-England Championships were considered the
unofficial world championships until 1977.
Although the history of badminton originated in England this international sports has been largely
dominated by Asian countries and Denmark over the last few decades. Countries including South
Korea, Malaysia, China and Indonesia have all produced world class players. China is currently the
strongest badminton country, winning many major championships consistently over the last few years.
Badminton is a racket game played by two (singles) or four (doubles) players on a rectangular
court. The objective 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.

Badminton Terminologies:
Badminton Techniques
Note: It is a fault serve if you slide or lift your feet during a serve.
E. Return of Service
In singles – players should stand in the middle of the area to be served into. In
doubles, he player can stand a little closer towards the service line. The player must then
be ready to move fast towards the shuttle as soon as the serve is hit. The ideal position
is to stand with your legs positioned with your non-racket leg in front (left leg for right
handers). Have your knees bent so you are ready to move with your racket up so you can
react quicker to the serve.
G. Overhead Shot
There are three kinds of overhead shots:
1. Clear
The clear is one of 4 overhead strokes played with the forehand grip – the others are the
smash, drop and the snap. The aim is to produce these shots in the same way so that the
opponent cannot pick which shot is going to be played until the last split second.
The action for the overhead can be broken down to 4 easy steps and is almost exactly
the same as the throwing action, for example, throwing a ball from the outfield in cricket.
This action is natural for some players. It is very useful with beginners to practice the
throwing action using the shuttle. These are the steps:
a) Stand side on to the net, with elbows and upper arm parallel to the ground, racket
head above the head. Right-handers will have their left shoulder pointing towards
the net. This position is important to produce the power of the shot.
b) Bring the elbow through high and close to the head, at the same time thrusting the
hip forward.
c) Reach up high with the racket to make contact with the shuttle, making sure they
make contact in front of the head. Swing had, making the shuttle go the back of
the court.
d) Follow through with the racket and step forward.
2. Drop Shot
The aim of the drop shot is to bring the opponent in close to the net so they have
to lunge down low to retrieve the shuttle. Use the same preparation steps as the clear
but:
a) At the last split second, take the power out of the shot by slowing the arm
action and by keeping the grip relaxed.
b) The contact point with the shuttle is slightly further forward than the clear,
to make the angle of the shot in downwards position.
c) The player should aim to land the drop approximately on the shot service
line, close to the net, so in a match the opponent would have to move a long
way to the net to retrieve the shot.
3. Smash
The smash is the most powerful and dynamic shot. It is an attacking shot that is
used a lot to put the opponent under pressure and to win rallies.
a) Once again the preparation for the smash is the same for all overheads.
b) You should only attempt a smash when you can make contact with the
shuttle in front of you, so the shuttle will go in a downward angle and with
power to the ground and your baldy moving forward.
c) Side on preparation and bent knees are important to generate the power as
is the elbow and hip coming through towards the net.
d) As you make contact with the shuttle, you need to use your forearm and
wrist to snap down to get the power and angle.
H. Net Shots
The aim of a net shot is to play the shuttle as close as possible to the net so that it is
difficult to return. It is not so important to keep the shuttle flat in its trajectory over the net
– it is more important for it to be close to the net (tight).
a) Stand facing the net with your racket leg forward, posture is slightly forward.
b) Racket is level with the top of the net (if possible) elbow bent, relaxed grip.
c) Use the fingers and wrist to initiate the striking movement – it is important not to use
your arm.
d) Racket face is slightly facing forward to the net.
e) Slice under the shuttle (use your fingers not arm for this action).
f) For the backhand net shot, the grip is changed but above actions are the same using
your thumb and fingers for the action.
I. Net Lift
The net lift is played with either the forehand or the backhand and aims to land
the shuttle in the tramlines at the back of the court.
a) The idea is to hit the shuttle as early as possible on your side of the net
using as little swing as necessary to keep control of the shot.
b) The racket foot is forward and the weight transfers from the non-racket
foot to the racket foot as the shot is played.
c) Using mainly your forearm with a small swing, hit the shuttle following
through in the direction the shuttle is intended to travel.
d) Don’t get too close to the shuttle or the shot will be too cramped and
lacking in power.
J. Defense Block
The basic technique for defense – this is used more in doubles and mixed
doubles.
a) Backhand grip to be used with the racket head pointing at 11 o’clock
position (or 1’oclock for left handers).
b) Your body position is important – face the net with both your shoulders and
feet square on to the net. The easiest and often the most effective way of
returning at smash is to play a block just over the net. The idea is to take
the pace off the smash and just block the shuttle so it lands inside the short
service line and makes it very difficult for the opposition to keep attacking.
c) It is important to have a very relaxed grip.
d) A small movement of the racket is required – no arm.
To Defend by Hitting the Shuttle to the Back of the Court
K. Drives
A drive shot is a hard flat shot from half court to half court. This is a good shot for
beginners to start with to practice contact with the shuttle.
a) For the shot to be hit flat to the net, the contact point for the racket and
shuttle is about the same height as the top of the net.
b) Have the players in half court (one player vs. one player) stand with the
body facing the net with the racket head up and facing in the direction they
want the shuttle to go.
c) Ensure that only the forearm is used for this shot not the arm.
d) Use a loose grip so the racket easily can play this shot back and forth.
e) The aim is to make the shuttle go flat to the net so on contact with the shuttle
the racket head needs to be flat and pointing towards the other side of the
net.
f) Progress then on to drive out the side of the body hitting on the forehand
and backhand sides.
Basic Footwork
1. Ready stance
Stride-standing position (feet apart) with knees a bit
bended. One foot is a bit ahead over the another. Do this, in
the center or middle of a half of the court.
2. Side-to-side (Defense)
Starting in the Ready Position, step in the right foot
sidewalk, finishing in lunge position (use forehand stroke if
right dominant).
To go back, hop (jump) both feet sideward left finishing in
ready position.
Execute this again on the other side starting with right foot (use
backhand for the stroke if right dominant).
3. V-Front
Starting in the Ready Position, step right foot and then hop
(jump) obliquely forward finishing in lunge position (use
forehand stroke if right dominant).
To go back, step left and then hop (jump) both feet obliquely
backward left finishing in ready position.
Execute this again on the other side starting with left foot
obliquely in lunge position (use backhand for the stroke if
right dominant).
To go back, step right foot, and then hop (jump) both feet
obliquely backward right finishing in ready position.
4. V-Back
Starting in the Ready Position, step right foot, and then hop
(jump) both feet obliquely backward right. Using racket, hit a
shadow shuttle moving the left foot in rear and right foot (use
forehand if right dominant).
To go back, step left foot followed by hopping (jumping) both
feet obliquely forward left finishing in ready position.
Execute this again on the other side starting with left foot
followed by right foot (R across L facing back) obliquely
backward right (use backhand for the stroke if right dominant).
To go back, step right foot to original position facing the other
side of the court and then hop (jump) both feet finishing in
lunge position.
5. Front and Back/Forward-Backward (Vice-Versa)
Starting in the Ready position gallop (like hopping) 2-3
times backward towards the back-boundary line, facing the
right side of the court right foot. Using a racket, hit a shadow
shuttle moving the left foot in rear and right foot in front in rear
and right foot in front (use forehand stroke if right dominant).
Starting with left foot, hop (jump) both feet forward and then
do two (2) running steps forward finishing in lunge position and
simultaneously hitting a shadow shuttle on the last step.
Hop (jump) both feet facing the left side of the court and then
repeat from the beginning (If left dominant, from the
beginning start with left foot facing the left side of the court).

Scoring Games
Since January 2006, World Badminton Federation changed the scoring system so now points
are scored after all rallies. Games are played to 21 with advantage of 2 and breaks are only at 11 or
21. Below is a basic explanation for the new scoring system.
Scoring System
1. A match consists of the best of 3 games of 21 points.
2. The side winning a rally adds a point to its score.
3. At 20 all, the side which gains a 2-point lead first, wins that game.
4. At 29 all, the side scoring the 30th point, wins that game.
5. The side winning a game serves first in the next game.
Intervals and Change of Ends
1. When the leading score reaches 11 points, players have a 60-second interval.
2. A 2-minute interval between each game is allowed.
3. In the third game, players change ends when a side scores 11 points.
Singles
1. 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.
2. If the server wins a rally, the server scores a point and then serves again from alternate service
court.
3. If the receiver wins a rally, the receiver scores a point and becomes the new server.
Doubles
1. There is only one serve in doubles.
2. At the beginning of the game and when the score is even, the server serves from the right court.
When it is odd, the server serves from the left court.
3. If the serving side wins a rally, the serving side scores a point and the same server serves again
from the alternate service court.
4. If the receiving side wins a rally, the receiving side scores a point. The receiving side becomes
the new serving side.
5. The player of the receiving side who served last stays in the same service court from where he
served last. The reverse pattern applies to the receiver’s partner.
6. The players do not change their respective service courts until they win a point when their side
is serving.
7. If players commit an error in the service court, the error is corrected when the mistake is
discovered.
Safety/Etiquette
1. Keep a firm grip on the racket.
2. Be careful not to hit your partner with the racket.
3. Stay in your own court to avoid the possibility of collision with other players.
4. Stop play if other players enter your court.
5. Wait until there is a stop in the action to retrieve a bird from another court.
Badminton is a fast-physical sport which requires agility, speed and quick reaction. Therefore, it’s
important that you perform warm-up and warm-down (cold-down) exercises.
Warming-up before you play reduces the risk of tearing or training muscles, while cooling down will
clear the system of chemical in the body that can result in muscle stiffness.
2. Reach Up 10x
Start with your arms at chest level and raise
your arms all the way up and back to the start
position. Repeat 10 times. Purpose – Warm up
shoulders.
