HISTORY BBAADDMMIINNTTOONN - IS A COURT OR LAWN GAME PLAYED WITH LIGHTWEIGHT RACKETS AND A SHUTTLECOCK THAT WAS ORIGINALLY KNOWN AS \"POONA\" THAT CAME FROM THE COUNTRY ESTATE OF THE DUKES OF BEAUFORT IN GLOUCESTERSHIRE, ENGLAND, WHERE IT WAS FIRST PLAYED ABOUT 1873 . It was first played by British army 02 officers stationed in India in the 1860s. The first unofficial all-England badminton championships for men were held in 1899, and the first badminton tournament for women was arranged the next year (1900). It first appeared in the Olympic Games as a demonstration sport in 1972 and as an exhibition sport in 1988. At the 1992 Games, it became a full-medal Olympic sport, with competition for men’s and women’s singles and doubles. Mixed doubles was introduced at 1996 Games.

BBAASSIICC//TTEECCHHNNIICCAALL SSKKIILLLLSS 1. GRIP The right grip in holding the 2. STANCE racket is really important to achieve control on shots while avoiding the chances of a wrist injury. A proper grip will allow you to play both backhand and forehand strokes effortlessly. The stance is how you stand while playing badminton, both in between a rally and before the serve. A stable and correct stance will bring a huge change in the results due to easier movement. 07 pn

3 TYPES OF STANCE: NET STANCE This stance is to be ready for the opponent’s return after playing a net shot. To play this shot, place your foot on the racket side forward while keeping a non-racket foot at the back. Place the racket in front of the body, slightly above waist height while raising the non-racket arm. Shift the body weight slightly forward to be ready to pounce forward. ATTACKING STANCE It is used to get into position before playing an overhead forehand stroke. To stand in the attacking stance turn your body facing the sidelines with racket leg behind and both legs shoulder-width apart. Now raise both racket and non-racket arms to generate the power to attack the shuttle on its downward trajectory. DEFENSIVE STANCE To defend the opponent’s smash, you need to be prepared with the defensive stance. Face the body to the net and place your racket in front at waist height, slightly pointing forward. You can keep the non-racket arm as comfortable while ensuring a better balance. 08pn

In fact, some coaches even raise footwork to prime importance over other skills. TIPS FOR PROPER FOOTWORK ·Always remember the base (starting point). ·Move only 2-3 steps backward. ·Shuffle only 1 step sidewards. ·Move only 2-3 steps front. 09pn

4. SERVE It is the way the shuttle is put into play. 2 TYPES OF SERVE: HIGH SERVE It aims at the back-end corner of the opponent’s court. Ideally, a good high serve results in the shuttle dropping steeply downwards at the back end of the court. In fact, a high serve is presented to opponents having the ability to executing a strong smash. LOW SERVE Unlike high serve, the low serve aims to the front of the court. The objective is to let the shuttle fly just above the net landing in the front corner of the court. In this case, your opponent has the opportunity to dash forward and smash the shuttle to you if the execution is poor. 10pn

BBAASSIICC//TTEECCHHNNIICCAALL SSKKIILLLLSS 5. SMASH Smash is the most potent and powerful stroke in badminton which naturally turns out to be the most familiar term to all. The shot is basically to hit the shuttle powerfully towards the opponent’s body or downward on the court. A perfectly executed smash has no defense. This badminton skill is the most aggressive and technical one. 3 TYPES OF SMASH: FOREHAND SMASH It is similar to the action of throwing a ball. You shouldn’t have a problem playing this stroke if you can throw a ball well. This skill in badminton acts as a game-changer for beginners. BACKHAND SMASH It is one of the toughest strokes in badminton. To execute this stroke, getting the backhand grip is extremely important. Also, it is equally important to return back to stance. Backhand smash skill in badminton requires years of practice and consistency. JUMPING SMASH It is basically taking a jump before hitting the shuttle to give it a steeper angle and making it very hard for the opponent to return. 11pn

6. DROP SHOT It is a delicate badminton shots that can win you points that aim at scoring points in deception. Played with both backhand and forehand, these are used to move the opponent to the frontcourt. This creates space in the midcourt and backcourt for you to exploit. 7. CLEAR OR LOB It can be imagined as a shot with an inverted ‘U’ trajectory. The idea is to land it as near to the baseline as it is, at an angle that is impossible to clear. This generally results in the creation of space in the front and midcourt, opening plenty of opportunities 12pn

TTAACCTTIICCAALLSSKKIILLLLSS 1. HITTING TO THE CORNERS This is a good tactic to have because it is a way of tiring out your opponent, as well as making it difficult for them to be able to play the shuttle back over the net, because of the distance you are making them cover across the court 2. MOVING OPPONENT AROUND THE COURT This will benefit your performance because it means that you have control over the game, as well as tiring out your opponent. This is because if they play a weak shot back it gives you the opportunity to use this to your advantage, either by making them move further around the court, or immediately trying to win the rally. 13pn

TTAACCTTIICCAALLSSKKIILLLLSS 3. CENTRAL BASE POSITION This will benefit your performance because by maintaining a central base position once you've played each shot will give you a higher chance of being able to reach and hit the next shot. By not returning back to your central base position you are leaving a bigger gap for your opponent to play the shuttle into, as well as a bigger gap for you to cover in order to reach the shuttle. 14pn
