 The game of badminton has been
around for a number of years now.
Historians believed that a very similar game
(battledore) was played in China for over
2000 years ago. However, badminton as it
is presently believed to have originated from
a game called “Poona” that was played by
the English army officers stationed in India
during the 18th century.
The Duke Beaufort introduced the game in
the town of “Badminton”

England is the principal home of

Badminton.
A game without any rules until
John Lorraine Baldwin
turned his mind to regulate it in
1868.

He was already the author of

the two books for card games.
In 1893, Badminton Association (BA) was
formed and the first official Laws of
Badminton were written.
Over the 40 years, a further 1000 clubs
were formed and joined B.A. in 1934,
Ireland, Scotland, and Wales urged the
formation of International association
which became now as the International
badminton Federation (I.B.F)
 The World badminton Federation (WBF) founded in
1977 sponsored the first World Championship that year in
Malawe, Sweden.

Badminton matches in the Philippines were first

played in the early 1920’s among the members of the
British and American communities in Manila.

It did not take long before Filipinos began to play the

game, which blossomed into one of the most popular
sports in the country during that time.
In 1947, the Philippine Badminton Association
was established as an affiliate of the Philippine
Amateur athletic Federation. The Philippine’s
conducted the first National Championship with
Adriano Torres Jr. and Ms. F.D. Icasa adjudged
as men and women’s single champions,
respectively in 1949.
 Badminton is an exciting game played with
a racket and shuttlecock (often called a shuttle
or bird) on a court divided by a net. Two or four
people can participate in the game. When two
players participate, the game is called singles,
and when four players participate, it is called
doubles.
Badminton is best played indoors where the
competition can be highly skilled and invigorating.
Each player or team tries to outscore the
opponent by hitting the bird over the net in such a
manner that it cannot be returned.
A player has to be serving to score a point. The
player not serving wins the right to serve if the
opponent who served not be able to return the
bird.
 Benefits of Playing Badminton
As a result of active participation in a badminton program,
players should realize the following benefits;
1. An increase in their level of fitness and level of skill
proficiency.
2. An increase in their level of understanding of the game and
its psychomotor and affective benefits.
3. An improved understanding of the rules of the game.
4. A positive attitude toward the game and an appreciation of
its value as a lifetime sport.
 Emotional outbursts, such as throwing the
racket and abusive language, have no place in
badminton, the students need to be aware that
this type of conduct is demanding to the game.
The absence of this type of behavior makes
the game attractive to players and spectators
alike. Being considerate of other people is an
unwritten rule of etiquette in badminton.

 Racket
 Three types: steel, aluminum, and graphite
 The materials are lighter, stronger, and
faster through the air, so you can hit the
shuttle harder and the rackets will last
longer.
 Choosing the size of the handle of the
racket is important; according to what feels
comfortable.
A. The Stringed Area is the part of the racket with
which it is intended for the player to hit the shuttle. It
shall be uniform pattern and shall not exceed 280
mm. (11in.) length and 220mm. (8.5/8 in.) in width.
B. The Head bounds the stringed area.
C. The Throat (if present) connects the shaft to the
head.
D. The Shaft connects the handle to the head.
E. The Ferrule firmly connects the shaft and the

 Clothes
 Choosing clothes, comfort is the main
objective. There’s nothing worst than a shirt
that is tight under armpits, or shorts that don’t
allow you to bend properly. Be certain that
shorts feel comfortable in the lunging position
and that your shirt does not restrict you in
overhead hitting position. Use padded socks to
help avoid blisters.
 Shoes
 There are host of different badminton
shoes these days. It is best if the soles
have a good grip. Shock absorption is
important, as badminton is a very physical
game. Whatever you buy, comfort is vital.

bruising.
 Grips

synthetics. The advantage of toweling is
that it can quickly be changed, and it gives
a comfortable grip less likely to cause
blisters. And Leather is more expensive
and difficult to change, but hard wearing.

mess of not less than 15 mm and not more than 20
mm. Net is 760 mm in depth and at least 6.1 meters
