game. badminton is a family sport, played by women, men, and children. Adaptability to small areas, indoors and outdoors, at a
minimal cost provides an opportunity for everyone to participate.
Badminton
is a court game that can be played either singles or doubles, by men women, or mixed pairs, either indoors or on outdoor
courts, as a fun or at a highly competitive levels?
The history of the development of modern badminton is a very long and complex one. The following accounts for the history of
the game.
In the 1600s, Battledore and Shuttlecock was an upper class pastime in England and many European countries. Battledore
and Shuttlecock was simply played by two people hitting a shuttlecock backwards and forwards with simple bat as many as they could
without allowing it to hit the ground.
Contemporary Badminton
In the 1800s, in India, a contemporary form of badminton – a game called Poona was played where a net was introduced and
players hit the shuttlecock across the net. British officers in the mid 1800’s took his game back to England, and was introduced as a
game for the guest of the Duke of Beaufort at his stately home ‘Badminton’ in Gloucestershire, England where it became popular.
In March 1898, the first Open Tournament was held at Guildford. Then, the first ‘all England’ Championship were held the
following year. Denmark, USA and Canada became ardent followers of the game during the 1930’s.

1. Stringed Area – is intended to hit the shuttle. It is of uniform pattern and does not exceed 280mm. (11in.) in length and
220mm. in width.
2. Head – bounds the stringed area.
3. Throat – (if present) connects the shaft to the head.
4. Shaft – connects the handle to the head.
5. Ferrule – firmly connects the shaft and the handle.
6. Handle – is intended for player’s grip.
7. Butt – is located at the tip pf the handle.
8. Frame – includes head, the throat, shaft, and the handle.
It is no more than 680mm. or wider than 230 (9 in.).
2. Shuttlecock
is the official name given to the shuttle or bird. It is made up of 16 goose feathers and is firmly fixed in a leather
covered cock head. It weights from 4.74 – 5.50g (75-85 grains) it may be made of feathers, plastic or nylon.
3. Court
Although courts can be set outdoors, competitive badminton is generally played indoor where the wind and other
elements will not affect the shuttle. The official badminton court is 20 ft. wide, while the singles court is 17 ft. wide.
1. Backcourt – also called rear court. The backcourt is 8 ft. of the court, including the back alley.
2. Baseline – also called the backline; back boundary line at each end of the end of the court parallel to the net and the doubles
lone service line.
3. Long Service Line - in Singles, the back boundary line (baseline); in doubles, the line 2 ½ ft. inside the back boundary line.
Any serve landing behind this line is out.
4. The Mid-Court – the middle third of the court from the short service line to the back third, a distanc of about 7 ½ ft.
5. Service – Court – area into where the service must be declined. A service may be made to the right or left service court
depending on the score.
6. Short Service Line – the line 6 ½ ft. from and parallel to the net. A serve must land on or behind it to be leagal.
7. Serving Court-Singles – the serving court for singles is bound by the short service line, the long service line, the center line,
the singles sideline, and the back boundary line of the court. The server must stand within this court, with his feet not touching
any lines. The server should serve diagonally over the net of his opponent’s singles court in order to have a legal serve.
8. Serving Court-Doubles – the serving court for doubles is bound by the short service line, the centerline, the doubles sideline
and the long service line. The server must stand within this court, with his feet not touching any lines. The line server must
diagonally over the net into his opponent’s double service court in order to have a legal serve.
The legal area from the net to the short service line is known as the “forecourt.” From the short, service line to,
roughly, the doubles long service is the “mid-court”, and the remainder to the back boundary line is called the “rear court.”
In doubles, the spaces between the parallel sidelines, between the parallel doubles sidelines, between the parallel
doubles long service line, and the back boundary line are known as “tramlines.” The spaces at the rear court in the corners
between the sidelines are the “back boxes.”
4. Posts
The post should stand 1.55m (5ft. 1in.) in height from the surface of the court. They must be placed on the doubles
sidelines. For singles as well as for doubles, they must also be firm to take the necessary tension when the net is strained
across to its full height. There should be no gap between the post and the net through which a shuttle could pass. This can be
ensured by the use of hooks down inside of the ports and a draw-cord along the bottom of the net.
5. Net
At all times this should be strained tightly so that its height from the floors is 1.524 (5ft) long, should be kept by the
umpires chair to facilitate regular testing to ensure that the net is still at its correct central height and has not sagged.
Kinds of Grip
1. Forehand Grip – this is popularly called the handshake grip for it means
the palm to be parallel to the face of the racket.
a. Grasp the handle while the racket is a right angle to the ground.
b. Wrap the thumb around the inside of the hands.
c. Closed the hand around the handle and spread fingers slightly.
d. Make a “V” with thumb and forefinger exactly on top of the handle.
e. Relax hand until grip feels comfortable.
f. Wrist should be free to swing the racket easily.
2. Backhand Grip – this slightly modified version of the forehand grip. It can be varies depending on the type of shot being hit.
Stroke
The term stroke and shot are sometimes used interchangeably, but authority in the game use the word stroke to refer to
striking patterns (underhand, overhand/overhead and side arm). These may be executed from either the forehand or backhand side of
the body. The word shot is used to differentiate flight patterns of the shuttlecock according to trajectory or elevation and depth.
Stroke Production
According to point of contact between bird and racket.

HIGH SCHOOL
1. Forehand Stroke – refer to any shot struck on the side of the body.
2. Backhand Stroke – refer to any shot struck on the side away from the racket (left-side for right-handed and the right side for
the left-handed).
a. Backswing – involves all movement of the body away from the target.
b. Hitting Action – includes all forward motion until the racket contacts the shuttle.
c. Follow-through – involves all movement from contact until the player is back in a position to await the opponent’s next
shot.
3. Underhand Stroke
Used when the approaching shuttle low and in front of the player.
4. Overhand/Overhead Stroke
Used to return the shuttle with a high trajectory coming from the opponent’s court when the shuttle gets behind you.
Footwork
One characteristic of a good badminton player is effective footwork. Footwork includes the stance you assume while waiting
for the opponent (Ready Position), the step you take in getting into position to stroke the shuttle (Moving into hitting Position), the
relationship of the feet during the hitting action (Footwork during the Hitting Action), and returning to base before your opponents’ hits
again (Footwork during Recovery).
1. Ready Position
a. Establish both feet at the moment the opponent is hitting the shuttle.
b. Feet should be shoulder width apart, one foot slightly ahead of the other better balance.
c. Knees remain flexed at all times to allow player to moves fast around the court.
d. Remember to position yourself at the center court to reach any return.
2. Moving into Hitting Position
a. Consider to take along first step with racket foot when moving forward in the court for effective technique.
b. Pivot your left or right foot when moving to the rear of the court. If the shuttle hits your backhand side, pivot is
followed by crossover steps with right foot.
c. Use shuffle or shorts steps to reach the shuttle, avoiding further crossover steps.
3. Footwork During the Hitting Action for Forehand
a. When shuttle is behind you on the forehand side or directly overhead, face the forehand sideline or front corner.
b. During the hitting action, transfer your weight to your front foot, raising the heel of your back foot well off the floor.
c. Powerful hitting could be displayed through hitch kick or scissors kick, in which both feet came off the floor at the
same time.
For Backhand
a. When the shuttle is behind you, pivot and crossover so that you face the backhand sideline or back corner.
b. Transfer your weight onto the foot closest to your target as you strike the shuttle.
c. Back heel will come high off the floor, and the toe of your back foot may drag across the surface.
Serve
SERVE – the serve begins the play. The serving is the “ in” side and the receiving is the “ out” side in serve area diagonally
across the server.

HIGH SCHOOL
1. Long Serve – (high and deep) the object of the long serve is simply to move your opponent far away from the net as possible.
In singles play, this would be to the baseline, and in doubles play, it would be to the long service line.
2. Short Serve - (short and low) the object of the short serve is to force your opponent to “lift” the shuttle. (Lifting the shuttle
resulting most often from underhand stroke is considered to be defensive as it will allow the opponent an opportunity to return
the “lifted” shuttle downward”).
3. Flick Serve – to be effective the flick serve should be placed to one of the two back corners of the doubles service court,
preferably over the back hand shoulder of the receiver. It should have a trajectory that places it at a height just beyond the
receiver’s reach.
4. Drive Serve – it must be hit hard and with a flat trajectory, preferably toward the receiver’s racket shoulder so that it arrives
before your opponent has time to prepare his or her racket from an aggressive return.
Kinds of Shot
There are four kinds of shots according to the trajectory of the shuttlecock. Each kind of shot is describe below including the
illustrations. Drills are provided to ensure the mastery and enjoyment among the students while executing the different drills.
The CLEAR or LOB is by far the most widely used shot in the game badminton. It is a defensive shot used to drip opponent
away from the net when caught off balance or out of position or when in doubt as to what the shot should be played. Use either the
forehand or backhand grip.
3. Underhand Clear
An underhand clear shot should have a steep upward passing and should be directed to your opponent’s back alley.
If it is not hit high enough, your opponent will be able to intercept it before it can reach its intended target. It is used
most effectively when your opponent is either in the front court or is moving forward.
Drop Shot
Any shot drops immediately after crossing the net, the drop shot is used for your opponent to come to the net from her
backcourt position and to force her to “lift” the shuttle for her return.
Drive Shot
Is a hard – hit attacking played generally from the sidelines midcourt, when the shuttle, just above tape-height, is not high
enough to be mashed downward. It is a flat shot that is kept as low as possible to have the opponent run from side to side. It may be
used in men’s or ladies’ doubles through against a well-placed depending pair. It is therefore much more used in mixed doubles where,
with the man generally having to defend the whole width of the court, the side-lines are vulnerable.
Smash Shot
Is the most prominent offensive shot. It has the greatest velocity and the steepest downward trajectory, so it is the shot most
likely to hit the floor in the opponent’s court before it can be returned. A smash that cannot be returned is called a kill or put – away.
Exercise
A fit person must develop by his strength, endurance, flexibility and speed. More are developed by training to the point when
he can play his spot without becoming exhausted.
Certainly, it is not very enjoyable to play any sport and feel poorly with the effects of over-exertion and tiredness, so a certain
degree of fitness will increase his enjoyment of the sport.
Rest
Rest is necessary to allow a player to recover from physical work. This involved both the rest gained from not exercising and
the natural rest gained from regular sleep.
Diet
A normal well-balanced diet will ensure that the player may by supplied with the essential food to meet the demands of the
training. Diet often misunderstood. It means that the body should get sufficient supplies of the right foods needed that is, eating the
appropriate foods in sufficient quantity.
Balance
There should be a correct balance between exercise and rest, and diet will contribute normal good health and fitness. This
implies a certain amount of routine, for instance sleep regularly, eat regularly, and daily exercise.
Participate effectively in any activity direct to physical condition. Drill outs in perfecting strokes, whereas strengthening and
conditioning exercise give the player the endurance and strength to play long; grueling matches, recover quickly, and be able to play
another match.
1. Strength is developed by keeping the number of repetition the same while increasing the amount of weight used.
2. Endurance is developed by standard weight used and by the increased number of repetition.
3. Flexibility is another component of conditioning. Munch stretching is done as a player reaches from drop shots and extends to
hit forehand, backhand and overhead strokes.
