I 1 N Janine Marielle Z. Aliviado is a Grade T 11 student at Rosario Institute National R Highschool. SY 2021-2022. O The badminton handbook was created for D educational reasons, and then I published a U digital sports handbook of my chosen sport in my C role as book publisher. Why i chose Badminton? I Badminton is a sport that keeps me active and healthy while also being enjoyable. It tones your N muscles, increases their strength, improves blood G flow, and has a plethora of other advantages. \"Badminton is not only about winning. A What is important to me is about playing hard, doing my best and putting U up a good show for the spectators.\" T – Lin Dan – H O R

HISTORY OF BAD TIMELINE 1600 Early elements of Badminton are 1870 first recorded. Poona (semi-modern version of 1873 badminton) is created in India. First official set of rules 1898 isestablished Badminton tournament are first held 1934 Badminton World Federation is 1948 formed. Thomas Cup (yearly international 1966 badminton competition) takes place for the first time. Addition of Badminton to the CommonWealth Games 1972 1992 Badminton is introduced to Olympic Games as a trial sport. Olympic Committee Officially adopts Badminton as a mainstay for future Olympic Events

MINTON 3 Badminton is descended from ancient games such as battledore and shuttlecock, and was not developed by a single individual. The modern sport began in India, where it was called \"poon,\" and was brought to England by British soldiers stationed there. The sport was invented in India in a variant known as poona, and it was adopted to the duke of Beaufort's country home in 1873. Its name derives from 'Badminton House' in Gloucestershire (UK).

E Q THE RACKET U I P The badminton racket has five major parts to it M – the stringed area, the head, the throat, the E shaft, and the handle. The racket in its entirety N is called a frame. The frame can have a T maximum length of 680mm while the overall width is restricted to 230mm. STRINGED AREA This is quite self-explanatory – the stringed area is the netted part of the badminton racket with which the player intends to hit the shuttlecock. The BWF rules stipulate that the stringed area should be flat, and the pattern of cross strings should be alternatively interlaced where they cross with each other. The string pattern is advised to be uniform in nature and not dense – more amount of string means lesser string tension - at any part of the stringed area. The overall length of the string should not exceed 280mm while the overall width needs to be maintained within 220mm. THE HEAD The area which bounds the stringed area is called ‘the head’ of the badminton racket. Now, the shape of the head is generally oval – which is used by professional players who usually prefer more power on their shots. However, there is also another shape called the ‘isometric head’ – which means that the racket is broader at the top. The wider nature means that there is a bigger ‘sweet spot’ – the part of the racket which meets the shuttle best - allowing players more chances of hitting the shuttle better. However, this is generally used by amateur badminton players and not by pros. THE THROAT This is the part of the racket which supports the head by providing a steady base and connects the head to the shaft. This is an optional part, as some badminton rackets directly connect the head to the shaft.

In rackets that have no throat, the stringed area can be extended. However, the extended limit can have a THE 5 maximum width of 35mm while it should simultaneously ensure that the overall length of the RACKET stringed area does not exceed 330mm. THE SHAFT The shaft is the part of the racket which links the handle to the head, or in some cases the throat of the badminton racket. There are no specifications stated for the length or width of the shaft. THE HANDLE The bottom-most part of the racket gripped by the player, the handle is arguably the most important cog. The ease of grip on the handle for a player often determines how comfortable the player is with the racket and can decide the performance on the day of professional players. There are no specifications for the length or width of the handle, with each player customising it to their needs. Apart from these, the BWF laws also state that the racket should not have any attached objects and protrusions other than to prevent wear and tear of the racket, applying short tape to the stringed area for example, to distribute weight or to secure the handle by a cord to the player’s hand, provided such measures are reasonable in size and placement. The badminton racket should also be of a fixed, elongated shape and should not be attached with any devices that can materially change the shape of the racket. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PIECE OF EQUIPMENT IN BADMINTON. A BADMINTON RACKET HELPS MAXIMISE YOUR PERFORMANCE ON COURT.

E Q THE SHUTTLECOCK U I P M E N T THE SHUTTLECOCK is also known to many as the badminton shuttlecock or birdie or just bird. It’s the projectile used by players to hit back and forth over a net. The shuttlecock or birdie is a conical shape with overlapping feathers going into a cork base. The feathers may be replaced by nylon or plastic. The cork is then covered with leather material, again depending on the type of shuttlecock it may a type of plastic or rubbery material. The cork gives the shuttlecock weight so when hit it will always fly cork first, thus enabling it to be returned. Other names for the shuttlecock include “Shuttlecork” but some now simply refer to the Shuttlecock as the “Shuttle”. Why is a shuttlecock called a birdie? It’s due to the fact that the shuttle shares certain characteristics with birds. The main similarity is being able to fly through the air at speed due to it being made from feathers. Aerodynamically the shuttlecock is incredibly stable making it ideal for the long rallies we sometime see in matches. As mentioned earlier the shuttlecock comes in basically two varieties. Feather or synthetic (nylon shuttlecock or plastic shuttlecock). There are of course many different types within these two categories, I will mention a few of these later.

7 E Q THE SHUTTLECOCK U I P M E THE SYNTHETIC: NYLON N SHUTTLE-COCK T These are made out nylon/plastic instead of feathers and have the advantage of being durable and ready to use straight out of the tube. This is the type most people will have used at some point and are ideal when you just want a game inside or outside. There are many types of these synthetic nylon or plastic shuttle with varying price and quality. THE FEATHER SHUTTLE- COCK These are used by professional players and the serious amateur. Why? Well basically they fly better I’m sure there’s all kind of cool science to explain it but simply the speed is better and the flight is better.

E Q THE BADMINTON SHOES U I P M E N T Badminton shoes are designed to give you better traction and grip to stop in time to return a shot. They should also be lightweight have good cushioning to absorb impact when you jump or land. Regular players will find heel cups useful to prolonging the lifespan of your shoes. Do not wear jogging shoes as they usually lack grip and traction. You might end up crashing through the badminton net if you are unable to stop in time to receive a drop shot. THE BADMINTON ATTIRE These are used by professional players and the serious amateur. Why? Well For casual to non-competitive players, a comfortable pair of shorts and cotton or dri-fit t-shirt is sufficient. Some players may want to equip themselves with hand grips, wrist bands and ankle guards. Each of these items serve a purpose and might also add a dash of colour to the entire get-up. When it comes to badminton equipment, select what is appropriate before turning your attention to aesthetics.

BADMINTON STANCE S 9 T A N 1. ATTACKING STANCE C You’ll need to use this stance whenever you hit an E overhead forehand stroke. Turn your body facing the side of the court. Place your racket leg behind; your non-racket leg forward. Both legs should be shoulder width apart. Raise your racket and non-racket arm 2. DEFENSIVE STANCE The key to strong defense is to retrieve your opponent’s smash via the defensive stance. To get into the defensive stance, Face your body to the front of the court. Place your racket in front of you, around waist height, and pointing slightly forward. Raise your non-racket arm for better balance. When you’re on a defensive stance, you can cover wider angles. 3. NET STANCE The net stance enables you to take the shuttle at the highest point when you’re at the net. When exchanging net shots, every millisecond counts! So make sure you take the shuttle as early as possible. To get into the net stance, Place your racket foot forward; non-racket foot at the back. Place your racket in front of your body, slightly above waist height. Raise your non-racket arm for body balance. Place your body weight slightly forward and get ready to pounce forward. When to use? Normally the only time you need to adopt the net stance is after you perform a Tumbling Net Sho

RULES & GENERAL FOR DOUBLE The basic rules and regulations of any badminton rally, either Olympics or leisurely with your family is that the game always begins with a toss. When playing with your friends, stop fighting for the first serve, because you must comply with the badminton rules that qualify a coin toss as an appropriate determinant. The next first serve depends on who wins the rally. If you win the first rally, then the next game begins with your serve. A player out of a team of 2 must serve inside the white lines of the diagonally opposite side so that the shuttlecock falls inside it. After the receiver returns the serve, the player can hit the shuttle anywhere within the entire court area In doubles, the scoring system can be a little confusing, since there are 2 players in a team who can serve. A rule of thumb is that a badminton game always starts from the right-hand side The order of server depends on the score odd or even, the same badminton rules and regulations for doubles as it is for singles. For example, if both pairs have decided that you and your partner start the game with you delivering the first serve, the score is 0-0. Since 0 is an even number, you will serve from the right side of the court. Otherwise, the players continue to stay in their respective service court from where they played their previous game. From this method, alternate servers are guaranteed. In Badminton rules and regulations for doubles entail that the players or teams will switch sides on the court during the following times: At the end of the first game Ø At the end of the second game and if a third game is to be played Ø During the third game if the first player/team scores a total of 11 points. If the serving side wins, they score a point and the same server serves again from the alternate service court. If the receiving side wins, the receiving side scores a point. The receiving side becomes the new serving side. To win the game of badminton, you must score points before your opponent. Out of 3 sets of play you must win two. Every time there is a serve, there is a point scored. According to badminton rules and regulations for doubles, the side of doubles that win a rally adds a point to its score. When both sides reach 20 all, the side which gains a 2-point lead first, wins that game. When both sides reach 29 all, the side scoring the 30th point, wins that game. The shuttlecock which is either served or hit should land inside the service court. Any shuttlecock which flew away from the white boundaries will not be counted and the opponent will score. One side has only one attempt to retrieve the shuttle, either one of the players is going to hit the shuttle. Even if the shuttle is accidentally touched by hand, it is still a fault. Also, an important rule of badminton is that only the receiver can return the serve directed at them.

REGULATIONS 11 BASICS OF PLAYING BADMINTON 1. A Game of Two or Four In a single rally, there will be two players, playing with each other. While in a double rally, you can pair up with your friend and play a game of four. But the players are a set, like the sets of cards. 2. Left o r Right You cannot randomly choose your side as you wish. This is one of the basic badminton rule which needs to be followed for any rally. At the beginning of the game, when the server’s score is even, then you are at the right service court. If the servers score is odd, choose the left side. (yes! Be thorough with odd or even numbers, they do count!!) 3. Know You r Weapons Badminton is played with a stringed racket and a shuttlecock. The cock is topped with feathers and have a rubber base. The player should always hit the rubber base and not the feathered part. Each player can use a single stringed racket. 4. The Serve The serve is the basic of any badminton play. Serve is the term used according to badminton rules, to hit the cock during the beginning of each rally. Serve should always be done underarm and below the server’s waist. An overarm serve is against the rules of badminton, and would be considered a fault. 5. Begin It By a Toss The basic rule and regulation of any badminton rally, either Olympics or your family play is that, the game always begins with a toss. When playing with your friends, stop fighting for the first serve, because you are within the box of the badminton rules! The start is only hosted by a toss; the next first serve depends on who wins the rally. If you win the first rally, then the next game begins with your serve.

RULES & 6. The ‘Net’ Trap The net is a vital and villainous equipment in the play. If the shuttle cock hits the net or even touches the net, disqualified! The point goes to your opponent. 7. Tame Your Hands and Your Feet While the play is on, your feet should never touch the white line bordered around you. Your hands are your rackets, a hand touch is a foul play, which is beyond the shadow of any doubt. 8. “That’s a Foul Play”! According to the basic rules of badminton, if your cock touches the ground or if you hit it twice from the same court, that’s considered a foul play. So there’s no replay or second chance. “In the game of badminton, you either loose or win, there’s never a chance!” 9. Don’t Be Bully Kid While a play you should never back or temp your opponent while he/she is serving, which may ward off their concentration. Feinting the opponents or trying to bully them by any means is unpardonably offensive. Being a sportsman you will obviously never be the bullying little kid anymore. 10. The L anding The shuttlecock which is either served or hit, should land inside the service court. Any cock which flew away the white boundaries will not be counted and yes, your opponent will definitely score. 11. Dock Out! If the following rules of badminton are continuously broken by a player, then the referee has the undue right to dock out the player’s point or the player from the game. Be alert! Your actions rules your future. 12. 21 Steps Ahead To win the game of badminton you must score points before your opponent. Out of 3 sets of play you must win 2 to be the talented winner.

REGULATIONS 13 NET HEIGHT The net is 760mm in depth and a minimum of 6.1m wide. The top of the net from the surface of the court is 1.524m at the centre of the court and 1.55m over the side lines for doubles. There must be no gaps between the ends of the net and the posts. NUMBER OF PLAYERS 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. THE ACTUAL SERVE 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. ROTATION AND POSITIONING If you observe a strong badminton doubles team, you'll notice that they are constantly rotating their positions to adapt to the situation on court. There are two directions of rotation in badminton doubles: clockwise rotation and counter-clockwise rotation.

RULES & SCORING POINTS All singles and doubles matches are the best-of-three games. The first side to 21 points wins a game. A point is scored on every serve and awarded to whichever side wins the rally. The winning side gets the next serve. If the score is 20-20, a side must win by two clear points to win the game. If it reaches 29-29, the first to get their 30th point wins.

REGULATIONS 15 FOULS AND FAULTS Contact Fouls When it comes to contact fouls, they can occur anytime a shuttlecock comes in contact with any object or person other than your racket. Your racket is the only thing the shuttlecock should touch during any badminton game. Failure to do so is when a contact foul is given. Service Faults Also known as service faults, these tend to occur when a player is serving. If the service is not executed below the waist or in an upward motion, this type of foul can be called. Double Hit Fouls Any attempts at hitting the shuttlecock a second time in a row are known as a double-hit foul. Once you hit it once, that is all you are allowed. Double hits are considered illegal in the game of badminton and will result in a point for your opponent. Over the Net Fouls Most will associate this type of foul with players touching the net. No part of your body or racket should touch the net at any point in the match. The foul will be called if your elbow, racket head, shin, or anything connected to you or the racket is caught touching the net. Again, resulting in the point being awarded to your opponent. Service Receiving Faults Similar to service fouls, service receiving ones occur when the shuttle is served to you. There are several ways in which you can receive a foul while your opponent is serving. Avoiding Fouls As you now know, there are several ways in which fouls can occur during a game of badminton. The majority of rallies that take place are ended because a foul occurs. This means that knowing the rules and ways to avoid the fouls from occurring is essential to winning.
