History Invented in India in a version called POONA. • British army officers learned the game about 1870. • 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. • Military personnel introduce badminton to Vancouver in the late 1890’s • Badminton Canada was founded in 1921, with the first national championships being held in Montreal. • Canada is one of nine founding members of the International Badminton Federation in 1934. • Badminton is included in the 1972 Munich Olympics as a demonstration sport. • Jamie Paulson of Calgary wins gold medal in men’s singles at 1970 Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh, Scotland. • In 1992, six Canadians contest badminton as a full medal sport at Barcelona Olympics.

The game of badminton originated in Siam, China over 2,000 years ago. It was brought to England in 1870 and was played somewhat like tennis. After being played in Canada, badminton arrived in America and has been popular since 1929. Since 1992, badminton has been an Olympic sport, with bird speeds reaching 100 m.p.h. A badminton-like game was known in ancient Greece and Egypt - a game called battledore and shuttlecock - in which two players hit a feathered shuttlecock back and forth with tiny rackets. The game was played in India during the 18th Century, at which time it was called \"Poona\" . In the 1860s it was adopted by British Army officers stationed in India. The officers took the game back to England, where it became a success at a party given by the Duke of Beaufort in 1873 at his estate called \"Badminton\" in Gloucestershire. A variation of Badminton which has been developed only recently, Speed Badminton or Speedminton, is played without a net, and is gaining popularity, especially in Germany.

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. 6. Be aware of the walls and the net posts. 7. Before play, agree on the boundaries and determine the first server. 8. Players call their own lines; replay the point if in doubt. 9. Shake hands after the game/match.

FAcilities/ Equipment 1. Rackets are fragile. Avoid striking the floor, wall, net, posts, or your partner. Also avoid flipping, throwing, or twirling rackets. 2. Shuttlecocks should be handled by the tips only. Birds caught in the net should be removed carefully. 3. Each student is responsible for reporting any damaged rackets to the instructor. 4. Rackets are returned to the proper slot and birds to the basket at the end of each • Badminton Racket period. • Shuttlecock • Badminton Shoes • Badminton Attire • Net The badminton court should be 44 feet long by 22 feet wide if playing doubles, and 44 feet long by 17 feet wide for singles. If the facility is indoors, there needs to be enough height for the shuttlecock to be able to float across the net without hitting the ceiling. This height will vary depending on the strength of the players.

Basic skills in Badminton A. GRIP 1. Forehand – with the racket head perpendicular to the floor, shake hands with the grip so the “V” formed by the thumb and forefinger is on the top of the handle. 2. Backhand – using a forehand grip, rotate the hand slightly so the thumb is along and parallel to the wide side of the handle. B. FOOTWORK 1.

Tactics in Badminton a). Tactics in Badminton Singles: The basic tactics for singles are described below: You have to make a situation in which your opponent faces difficulty to reach and hit the shuttle back to you; subsequently you may win a point. It will be possible when you hit the shuttle from the corner of the playing area, keeping in mind the position of your opponent. If he is near the net, hit a powerful overhead shot that goes in the back of the court. And, if he is in the back of the court, play a delicate net shot that just crosses the net and falls in front of your opponent. You must have the knowledge of each and every part of the service court so that you can play effectively and take an ideal position; in the center of the court. Serving tactics are also important. They are used to serve the shuttle, in a way, that makes the serve fairly difficult for an opponent to reply. These tactics rely on low, high and flick serves. After adapting these tactics, the players have a sufficient time, after serving the shuttle, to get ready for another shot, and also to instantly cover his court‟s areas; right, left, back and front. Sometimes, you might not be able to pass serves perfectly and your opponent has an accurate powerful shot, in this situation you need to be more flexible, observing the main strength of your opponent before starting the serve

Tactics in Badminton b). Tactics in Badminton Doubles: There are two major tactics which are adapted in Badminton doubles. One is attacking tactics, and the other is defending tactics. In doubles, the server must have swiftness and considerable power to make the shuttle pass the net. Some strokes are also essential for doubles such as; drive, smash, serving, smash returning and wiping. The players must learn these strokes in order to be superb doubles players. 1. Attacking tactics (For scoring points): As we know, for playing doubles, we need teamwork. In doubles, mutual understanding is very important for both; you and your team-mate. When you start attacking with a powerful shot, you and your team-mate must take front and back position. It means, one player takes position in the back of the court and the other player takes the front of the court. In doubles, attacking tactic is used when back court player strikes the drop shot or smash shot. There are lots of possibilities of sending the shuttle back to opponents. If your opponent plays a returning flick shot, the back court player can play attacking shots easily. If your opponent hits the shuttle to the mid court, the front court player may play a shot which will create difficulty for opponent to respond.

Tactics in Badminton If a team has a chance to attack first, will have more chance to score points and win. Therefore, you and your team-mate must be a powerful attacking player and do not pave the way for your opponent to attack. 2). Defending tactics (For saving points): When you are defending, you and your team-mate must take side by side positions so that both of you may cover the whole court. You are to be ready before your opponent starts attacking you.

Playing strategy A. Singles – serve long most of the time. Return a high serve with a drop or clear. Build the game plan on a basis of alternate drop and clear shots, and then use the smash/drive as openings occur. Run your opponent from the front to back and from side to side of the court. B. Doubles – make shots, the return of which will leave an opening for your partner to play a winning shot. Never play a shot that leaves your partner open to smashes. Always make an attacking shot. This implies that all shots should be hit down. Most serves should be short and low. Attack short serves when receiving. 1. Side-by side – each partner is responsible for half of the playing court, net to baseline. 2. Up-and-back – one member plays the front portion of the court, operating from the centerline and just behind the short service line. The partner plays the rear portion of the court from the centerline and just in front of the double rear service line. 3. Up/back rotation – combines the two doubles‟ strategies, using the side by-side position for defense, and up and back formation for attack.

GAME RULES AND SCORING 1. The current scoring system in badminton is the 3 × 21 rally point scoring system. This means that three games are played to 21 points each, with a required two point difference between scores (meaning scores can go above 21, to a maximum of 30). 2. No point is earned when a player commits a fault. 3. A good serve must go directly into the receiver‟s box. 4. In single, the court is long and narrow while in doubles it‟s short and wid SERVICE RULES: A.

Umpire: The „main judge‟ for the particular badminton game. He/she has the power to overrule any decisions made by the service judge or line judges. The umpire is the person ensuring that the badminton game is run smoothly and prevent any players from delaying the game play. Whenever a player requests to change the shuttle, the umpire will need to approve that the change could be made. The umpire also looks out for faults committed around the net area such as whether a player touched the net when returning the shuttle. Besides, the umpire is responsible to make a „fault‟ call when the shuttle touches the player or the players‟ attires except for the badminton racket. In badminton, it will be a fault/foul to a player if the shuttle touches any part of that player‟s body or attire. Service Judge: The service judge is responsible in making a „service fault‟ call and to provide shuttles to the players. Line Judges: Line judges sit beside the badminton court (right in front of every in/out lines) to determine whether the shuttle is inside or outside the boundaries of the court. Their calls are usually very subjective and are often controversial.
