BADMINTON
Badminton is a racket sport played by either two
opposing players (singles) or two opposing pairs (doubles), who
take positions on opposite halves of a rectangular court that is
divided by a net. Players score points by striking a shuttlecock
with their racket so that it passes over the net and lands in their
opponents’ half of the court. A rally ends once the shuttlecock
has struck the ground, and the shuttlecock may only be struck
once by each side before it passes over the net.
The shuttlecock (or shuttle) Is a feathered projectile whose
unique aerodynamic properties cause it to fly differently from
the balls used in most racket sports; in particular, the feathers
create much higher drag, causing the shuttlecock to decelerate
more rapidly than a ball. Shuttlecocks have a much higher top
speed, when compared to other racket sports. As the
shuttlecock flight is stubbornly affected by wind, competitive
badminton is always played indoors. Badminton is also played

outdoors as a casual recreational activity, often as a garden or
beach game.
Rules
 A player must wait until his opponent is ready before
serving. If the opponent attempts a return then he is ruled
having been ready.
 The feet of both players must remain in a stationary
position until the serve is made. Your feet can not be
touching the line at this time.
 It is not a fault if you miss the shuttle while serving.
 The shuttle cannot be caught and slung with the racket.
 A player cannot hold his racket near the net to ward off a
downward stroke by his opponent or to interfere with his
racket.
Faults
 The shuttle, at the instant of being hit is higher than the
servers waist or the head of the racket is higher than the
servers racket hand.

 The shuttle does not land in the correct service court.
 The server’s feet are not in the service court or if the feet
of the receiver are not in the court diagonally opposite the
server.
 The server steps forward as he/she serves.
 Any player balking or feinting his opponent before serve or
during serve.
 A serve or shot that lands outside the court boundaries,
passes under or through the net, touches any other
obstructions or a players body or clothing. The boundary
and service lines are considered in play.
 The shuttle in play is struck before it crosses the net to the
striker’s side of the net. You may follow through over the
net.
 A player touching the net or its supports with his body or
racket while the shuttle is in play.
 Hitting the shuttle twice in succession by a player or team.

point. The receiving side becomes the new serving side.
 The players do not change their respective service courts
until they win a point when their side is serving.
 If players commit an error in the service court, the error is
corrected when the mistake is discovered.
 In a doubles match between A & B against C & D. A & B
won the toss and decided to serve. A to serve to C. A shall

To play badminton, players will need a net, a
shuttlecock, and at least two rackets. The net crosses the center
of the badminton court. It needs to be 5 feet 1 inch high at both
ends and 5 feet high in the center. The posts must be at the
farthest sidelines, 20 feet apart, for both singles and doubles
play.
History
The roots of the sport can be traced to ancient Greece,
China, and India, and it is closely related to the old children’s
game battledore and shuttlecock. Badminton is derived directly
from poona, which was played by British army officers stationed
in India in the 1860s. Badminton was called badminton because
it was officially introduced to England in the “Badminton
House”, a country estate owned by the Duke of Beaufort in
Gloucestershire by 1873. Since then, Badminton was named
“Badminton” instead of “Poona” and “Battledore and
Shuttlecock”. In 1873 the duke of Beaufort introduced the sport
at his country estate, Badminton, from which the game derives
its name. In 1887 the Bath Badminton Club was formed; it was
replaced in 1893 by the Badminton Association of England,
which codified the rules that still govern competitive play. In the
Philippines, it was in 1920 when British and American
expatriates introduced badminton in the country. In the early
1950’s, the International Badminton Federation (IBF) recognized
the Philippines as its 21st member country. In 1952, the
Philippine Badminton Association (PBA) was created.
