This is one of the basic badminton rules which needs to be followed for any rally. When the server’s score is even, the server serves from the right service court. When the server’s score is odd, the server serves from the left service court. If the server wins a rally, the server gets a point and then serves again from the alternate side. If the receiver wins a rally, the receiver scores a point and becomes the new server. The server starts from the appropriate side– left if their score is odd, and right if the score is even. According to the rules and regulations of badminton for singles, a “play-by-play” tournament format is followed everywhere, wherein all players will be paired with an opponent for the first-round matches. These players will have one week to play their matches before advancing to the next round of the tournament.

At 20 all, the server which gains a two-point lead first wins the game. At 29 all, the side scoring the 30th point first wins that game. A server in a new game will be the winner of the previous one, and every time there is a serve, there will be a point scored, unless that point is replayed. A two-minute break is allowed between each game. A 60- second break can be taken when the leading score reaches 11 point. In official BWF play, the receiver scores points. However, only the server can earn points while playing classic-rules badminton in

After the receiver returns the serve, the player can hit the shuttle anywhere within the entire court area Format In dou bles, 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.

badminton drills 1. Shadow Drill (imagining the shuttlecock) This drill is imaginary as i ts name suggests. To perform this drill, two players are required. One is to give directions with his racket (as if he were hitting a shuttlecock) and other is to follow him and play shots accordingly. Interestingly, there is no shuttlecock, and the player being directed, does not need to hit the shuttlecock but imagine to do so. The directing player may direct other player to go in different directions on the court such as; front, back, left and right. He may also direct him to jump or lower his racket to play different shots. After some time, players change their position and play in the same way. The purpose of this drill is to improve your technique, fitness, footwork, confidence and to save a shuttlecock from being used before the match. 2. Wall Rally Drill (Smashing the wall) This drill is quite easy to perfo rm. Simply, you have to find an at least 15-20 feet wall to hit the shuttlecock to, a racket and a used shuttlecock. You do not need another player since the wall acts as your opponent and returns your shots to you. You have to stand five to six feet away from the wall and start your rally. Once you start your rally, try to go with one shot at a time. Once you end up playing a long rally with one shot, try another rally with another shot. Continue doing it until you find it enough for the day. You can also chalk out a net on the wall so as to give it an original look. The size of net may be in accordance with the original one. It will offer you the experience of real game and real opponent in the shape of the wall. Wall rally drill is tailor made for a single player who does not find any other player to practice with. This drill helps you in many ways such as; footwork, quick response, wrist work, forehand and backhand shots, coordination, agility and speed.

badminton drills 3. Drill with Multiple Shuttles (hitting multiple shuttles) This drill is to improve your quick m oves, dives, speed, accuracy and alacrity. To perform this drill, you need to have dozens of shuttlecocks, a feeder of the shuttlecocks, a racket and an entire court. You need to stand on one side of the court with your racket, and the feeder need to stand on the other side of the court with one racket and many shuttlecocks. On the one hand, the feeder needs to pick as many as shuttlecock as he can, and start hitting them to you one by one. On the other hand, you have to respond to his varying degree of shots. The shuttlecock, once hit by the feeder and you, goes dead and the new shuttlecock comes into play. You can play any shot you want while responding to your feeder. You can play smashes, drives, drop shots, clears, net shots, lifts and so on. 4. Drills on half court singles (using one side of the court) To practice this drill you need a partner with a racket, a shuttlecock and the court. Both of you are bound to use only one side of the court for this drill. This drill narrows the playing area for both of you. Thus, restricts you from playing freely, and compels you to maintain your shots accordingly. This drill increases the pressure of shots on you and simultaneously reduces the response time. You will experience the pressure of an actual match and that’s why this drill needs to be included in your daily routine. The more you play, the better you become.

badminton drills 5. One player facing two opponents This drill will certainly ma ke you a better player when it comes to the singles. In this drill, you need two opponents with rackets, one shuttlecock and a badminton court. You face two opponents who stand on the other side of the court. You need to be alert, speedy, confident and accurate with the shots. Your opponents will surely put you under tremendous pressure by continuous shots. It’s you, who have to maintain this pressure and respond their aggressive shots with quick moves and brisk hand movements. You will observe a change in your skills once you adapt this drill in your daily routine. 6. Drills for improving footwork Lower limbs are equall y important in badminton as upper limbs are. Our legs help us move from on part of the court to the other to reach the shuttlecock. They help us in standing and jumping while swinging our racket. So, it’s necessary to make our legs and thighs stronger and sharper. 7. Drills without net Badminton court and net are required for official matches. If you need to improve your game, you can do it without court and net. You simply need a racket, shuttlecock and a playing surface. You can also add your partner to practice with you. You and your partner can stand in opposite direction, and start playing shots assuming a net in the middle of you. Try to cross the imaginary net. Your aim should be to prevent the shuttlecock from falling down as a result of swing and miss. The one who misses the shuttlecock and lets it drop on the ground, loses a point. You can practice variety of shots, except the net shot, which requires a concrete net. Continue playing it until either of you feels tired. You can also practice with the help of a wall as discussed above.

badminton drills 8. Drop Shot Drills To master th e drop shot, you need to have dedicated practice. Drop shot is played from higher to down position. A player has to stand in ready position, hold his racket higher in his dominant hand, and the shuttlecock, lower than racket, in his other hand. Now, he has to hit the shuttle in downward position with the aim to manage the shuttlecock cross the net and fall on opponent’s side. Opponent, on the other side, should try to respond him by hitting the shuttlecock back to him, before it kisses the surface of the court. Two players can play ten to twenty rounds of this shot and then exchange their roles. 9. Backhand Clear Drills Backhand cle ar shot is definitely the best shot in badminton. You may not be able to master it in an hour or two. You certainly get hold of it but after a few days of drills. If you desire to play badminton and beat your opponent, you ought to master this shot for getting upper hand over him. To play this shot, you have to take your racket foot forward and face the shuttlecock that goes to non-racket hand. Backhand shot comes into play when your opponent has responded your shot and the shuttlecock comes back to you on you non-racket hand side. Now, you bring the face of your racket to your non-racket hand and manage to hit the shuttlecock from there. You need to master this shot by dedicated drills. You can take a player with you to feed shuttlecocks to your non-racket hand side, and thus compel you to play backhand shots. Practice this shot for half an hour and see the results afterwards.

badminton drills 10. Drive Shot Drills Drive shot is a gr eat way to warm up and improve your reflexes. To start this drill, two players have to stand, in middle of the court, in the ready position. Player A starts as the server and drives to the back hand of player B. Player B should drive back to player A’s forehand. Continue this drill for 20 odd rounds and then exchange roles and repeat the same drill. 11. Ready Position Drills Taking a suitable position is always in your favor. No matter, whether you are playing singles or doubles, you have to maintain a position. Position relies on once comforts and strategy. Standing still or straddle, putting weight on the legs, leaning forward, bending arms, facing opponents and all that ultimately benefit you. If you are slow in advancing, you might wish to stand in the front of the court to handle the shuttlecocks that are bound to fall in the front of the court. If you are slow in retreating, you might sneak to the back of the court to tackle shuttlecock that fall in the back of the court. Where you stand is all up to you and depending on how good you are in the front of the court, and how good you are at the back end of the court. When it comes to putting weight on you, again it’s you, who decides it. You have to decide whether you like to put weight on both legs or on one leg keeping in mind the situation. You can change positions during the match keeping in mind the position of the shuttlecock.

badminton drills 12. Clear Shot Drills You need a partner to perform this drill. The position for clear shot is just like the position of the serve. You have to take your non-racket foot in the front and racket foot in the back. When you get ready, you turn sideways, a little bit towards your opponent, not completely towards the wall because you need to see your opponent. To start, your partner should feed you and you respond his shot back. This process should go on until one of you fails to return the shuttle. You can practice this shot by standing on one side of the court or in cross court. You need to play diagonally if you choose cross courts. This shot normally takes little time to master. It depends on you, how much time you take to master it. 13. Smashes Drills To master this shot, you need to be aggressive and strategic. This shot is equally significant for singles and doubles. To start its drills, you need a partner to feed and respond you. You need to take a ready position and wait for your partner to feed you. When he feeds you the shuttlecock, you need to hit the shuttlecock with full power, in a targeted direction, and beat your partner with your shot. You need to hit the shuttlecock with forehand style since it generates brutal power, that is the soul of a smash shot. You can hit smash shots diagonally, straight to you partner, over his head, in front of him when he is at the back of the court. Continue this drill for half an hour to bring perfect to it. The basic aim of this shot is to bag a point and this aim is served when you beat your opponent and manage to make the shuttlecock kiss the floor in no time.

badminton drills 14. Net Shots Drills Net shot is the most prolific shot when it comes to the scoring. This shot is in contrast with the smash. To master this shot, you do not need immense power, you simply need to learn that how to nudge the shuttlecock and make it pass the net and drop on the other side of the net just near it. To practice this shot, you need a partner. You and your partner should stand near the net and start feeding the shuttlecock. Once the rally starts, continue it as long as you can. Your aim should be to make the shuttlecock cross the net, without coming in contact with the net or colliding with it. Remember, you can play this shot forehand and back hand. This shot only needs gentle pushes to make it cross the need. Net shot is predominately played near the net and that’s why it’s known as such.
