The net is 5 feet and 1 inch at the ends and 5 feet high in the middle, due to a slight slope. The net itself is 2 feet 6 inches, leaving about 2 foot 6 inches between the bottom of the net and the ground. The poles of the net are replaced over the doubles sidelines, even for a single match. Badminton Rackets - A badminton racket has a frame of 68cm, with the head of being 28cm long and 22cm wide. The head is where the raket's stringed area is. The handle where players hold the racket, is at the bottom. Due to how tightly the racket is strung, the shuttlecock bounces off of it pretty well. Top quality badminton rackets weight between 70 grams and 95 grams. Today's rackets are composed of a carbon fiber composite. 4

Badminton shirts are mainly made out of a mix microfibers, polyester, and spandex. The spandex makes the shirts tighter and helps them fit well. The polyester makes the shirts more comfortable, and the microfibers are a part of dri-fit aspect of the shirts. Shorts - Badminton shorts are athletic shorts that are dry-fit at fit well. The shorts usually have a lining or compression on the inside, which is great for competitive badminton. Shorts are made with the majority of polyester and some spandex, as well. Shoes - Badminton shoes are designed to assist the movement in badminton. Anti-slip and wear-resistance rubber makes great material for the soles of badminton shoes.

Towel - Badminton players will use a towel to keep themselves dry by wiping off sweat in between points, sets, games, and matches. The towels they use are they like any sports towel and they are able to fit well into a badminton equipment bag. Players will also sometimes use a towel grip around the handle of their rackets. They will do these to give themselves a better grip and so when they sweat it doesn't make the handle as slippery. Shuttlecock - is essential to the game as it is what badminton players hit back and fourth across the net. It is a cork with feathers attach to form a cone shape. It is made of plastic. When hitting a shuttlecock, players usually hitting the cork part ot it, as it weighs and the most springy. A shuttlecock is also referred as a birdie. 7

BASIC SKILLS 1. Grip All the different types of badminton grips side by side in one image. Like any racquet game, having a proper grip in badminton is essential. The correct grip will allow you to have more control and will help you dictate where you place your shot. There are numerous ways of holding a badminton racket depending on whether your shot is forehand or backhand. For example, you could use the: Forehand grip: Anything on your racquet side (right side if you’re right-handed, left side if you’re left-handed) whether it be overarm or underarm. 9

Backhand grip: Anything to your non-racket side (left side if you’re right-handed, right side if you’re left-handed) whether it be overarm of underarm. Universal grip: A type of backhand grip where your thumb has moved to the edge of the fatter face of your grip. This is used for backhand cross-court net shots, backhand clears, and backhand straight drop shots from the rear court. Panhandle grip: Where your thumb and the finger pinch the top of the racket in order to tap/net-kill the incoming shuttlecock. Make sure to hold your badminton racket lightly no matter what type of grip you use. In fact, the grip should be so light, that someone can come along and pull it away from your hands. This will help you prevent wrist injuries and improve the angle and flexibility of your shot. 10

2. The Serve Service is another necessary skill you need to master for badminton. A good serve is likely to get you points and may give you some advantage during the rally. There are two types of services used in badminton: High Serve - is used when you want to force your opponent to run to the back of the court by hitting the shuttlecock toward the rear end of the court (sometimes the corner). A good high serve will usually save you from receiving a smash from your opponent. 11

Low Serve - The low serve is used to bring the opponent forward by hitting the shuttlecock toward the front of the court. If you managed to send a fabulous low serve, the opponent would have to dash forward and move under the shuttle to return it. Depending on the quality of the return, you might be able to return the shot with a net kill/smash. 12

3. Footwork An illustration of a badminton player in all areas of the badminton court, representing good footwork. Footwork is another vital skill for badminton. You have to continually adjust your speed according to the speed of the shuttlecock. The players have limited space to move around, so good footwork is imperative. With proper footwork, you will be able to conserve energy and face shots coming toward you from any direction. 13

4. Stance A badminton player demonstrating the defending and attacking stances side by side. While returning strokes from the opponent, the stance is a crucial skill required in badminton. Proper posture will allow you to return the opponent’s strokes efficiently and enable you to get an advantage in rallies. There are three basic stances in badminton: Defensive Stance - You can use the defensive stance to defend opponents smashes. To take the defensive posture, face the net with your body and put the racquet at about your waist height. You can also use this stance to perform a high clear since you’ll need to make a fast, unconscious decision when returning the shot. Using the defensive stance, you could perform a lift to buy some time. This time will help you regain your posture and prepare for the opposing player’s reply. Lifts allow the opponents to send a return smash but this doesn’t make them an ineffective defensive stroke. By using the lift from a defensive stance, you can look for the perfect opportunity to counter-attack your opponent, such as by playing a net shot. 14

Attacking Stance - The attacking stance will allow you to return a short or high lift from your opponent. To utilize the attacking stance, try to get behind the shuttlecock, raise your arm, and then transfer your body weight to your racquet leg, and hit the shuttlecock as a smash. By utilizing the attacking stance, and depending on the opponent’s stroke, you can also send a drop shot. Drop shots can be used when receiving the shuttlecock from the front or back part of the court. Net Stance - The net stance in badminton is used to return the opponent’s stroke after sending a net shot. Place your racquet foot forward and your other foot backwards. Place the racquet in front of your body slightly above your waist for the net stance. One way to get into the net stance is by first using a tumbling net shot. The tumbling net shot makes the shuttlecock tumble and spin right above the net and into your opponent’s court. After sending a tumbling net shot, your body will naturally put itself in the net stance. When you are in the net stance, get ready to perform a net kill move to an attacking stance to perform a winning smash. 15

5. Strokes A professional badminton player in mid air, diving towards the net to return a net shot. there are two main kinds of strokes: Forehand Shots - Forehand shots should be played when the shuttlecock is on your racket side. Your index finger will control the forehand stroke as you swing overarm or underarm. Swing the wrist along with your index finger as support to play a forehand stroke. 16

Backhand shots - Backhand shots should be played when the shuttlecock is on your non-racket side with your thumb controlling the strokes. While playing badminton, your light grip will mean you’ll be able to switch between the forehand and backhand grip at ease. To play a backhand shot, hold the racquet with the back of your hand in front and swing your wrist forward while using your thumb as support. 17

Technical and Tactical skills Technical Skills The Ready Stance - it is a position in badminton wherein the right stance is readied by the player in order to minimize the amount of movements that would be needed in order to hit the shuttlecock. Forehand and Backhand Grip - these are the two basic grips that new players must familiarize themselves with. By doing either of these, it would be much easier for players to control their shots. Footwork - it is a necessary skill in order to play badminton. A proper footwalk would help in mastering the sports Strokes - initially, there are four strokes that the player can use. Underarm Backhand Serve - it is a type of serve that beginners can use. Technical skills Applying pressure on hitting the shuttlecock. Position yourself in the central base. It would be easier to hit the shuttlecock on the corners of the court. Deceive your opponents during singles match. 18

Rules of the game A match consists of the best of three games of 21 points. The player/pair winning a rally adds a point to its score. At 20-all, the player/pair which first gains a 2-point lead wins that game. At 29-all, the side scoring the 30th point wins that game. The player/pair winning a game serves first in the next game. A badminton match can be played by two opposing players (singles) or four opposing players (doubles). A competitive match must be played indoors utilising the official court dimensions. A point is scored when the shuttlecock lands inside the opponent's court or if a returned shuttlecock hits the net or lands outside of the court the player will lose the point. At the start of the rally, the server and receiver stand in diagonally opposite service courts. A legal serve must be hit diagonally over the net and across the court. A badminton serve must be hit underarm and below the server's waist height with the racquet shaft pointing downwards, the shuttlecock is not allowed to bounce. After a point is won, the players will move to the opposite serving stations for the next point. The rules do not allow second serves. During a point a player can return the shuttlecock from inside and outside of the court. A player is not able to touch the net with any part of their body or racket. A player must not deliberately distract their opponent. A player is not able to hit the shuttlecock twice. A 'let' may be called by the referee if an unforeseen or accidental issue arises. A game must include two rest periods. These are a 90- second rest after the first game and a 5-minute rest after the second game. 19

OFFICIAL OF THE GAME Referee - is the most important official of the whole tournament. He or she is in charge of the competition and needs to ensure that the tournament is conducted following the Laws of Badminton (including court, rackets and shuttlecock measurements), the regulations of the Badminton World Federation and/or any other regulations that might be relevant in that specific competition.In addition to that, the referee has the last word if there is an argument between the umpire (in charge of the matches) and a player or team. Umpire - is the maximum authority in a particular match and it is in charge of the court. The duty of the umpire is to make sure that the specific match is conducted following the Laws of Badminton, the regulations of the Badminton World Federation and/or any other regulations that might be relevant in that specific competition.It is the umpire responsibility to judge service faults and other player faults. The umpire keeps a record of any misbehaviour or incident and reports it to the referee. He/she is also responsible for keeping the match score, which will be announced after each point of the match.The umpire has control over the specific match but also needs to report any serious acts to the referee, who is, at the end, the maximum authority of the tournament.Outside of the major tournaments, the referee will also take the role of an umpire in order to help with the process. 20

The service judge is responsible for making a ‘service fault’ call and to provide shuttles to the players. Due to the way badminton is played, the serve is one of the most important and perfected shots of the player and, especially when playing doubles, players will bring the serve to the limit of the legality in order to gain as much advantage as possible.In addition to checking the service, the service judge usually takes care of the shuttles, providing the players with new shuttles whenever required.In smaller championships, when there is no service judge, the umpire takes the role of the service judge. The line judges are responsible for indicating whether a shuttlecock landed “in” or “out” if the shuttle lands near the lines he/she is assigned to control. Due to the fast speed of the game and the skill of the players, this is a very challenging job and, as a result, the line judges are the officials that usually get more pressure from the players.Depending on the level of the tournament, there may be as many as 10 line judges assigned to a court for a particular match. This is the number recommended by the BWF. 21

When 10 line judges are available, they are positioned as follows: 2 line judges for the short service line (one on each side of the court) 2 line judges for the centre line (one on each end of the court) 4 line judges for the side lines (two on each side of the courte). Please note that the exact location will depend on whether a singles match is being played (and they would follow the singles side lines) or a doubles match is being played (and they would follow the doubles side lines 2 line judges for the back boundary lines (one each end of the court). Please note that, in the case of the doubles match, these line judges check both the back boundary line and the long service line. 22
