DEVELOPMENT OF BADMINTON 2 According to “A Brief History of Badminton from 1870 to 1949” written by Betty Uber, modern badminton was created by British military officers by around 1850s in British India, at that time, a net was added to the game and because it was very popular in the garrison town of Poona, the game was known as Poona. 1870 Retired British army officers brought the game 1875 back to England from India and it became a very popular sport. In 1873 the Duke of Beaufort introduced the sport at his country estate, “Badminton House” in Gloucestershire, since then this sport was called Badminton. A badminton club in Folkestone, England was 1887 J. H. E. Hart of the Bath Badminton Club started by retired officers from British India. standardized the rules. 1893 Badminton Association of England published 1934 The International Badminton Federation (IBF, the first set of rules similar to the modern rules 1948 now known as the Badminton World Federation) that were published in a house called “Dunbar” was formed with England, Scotland, Wales, at Six Waverley Grove, Portsmouth, England.

(World Men’s Team Championships). Since At that time, only singles and doubles were then, more world-class events have been listed. launched. Mixed Doubles was included in the Atlanta Olympic Games, til now, Badminton is still the only sport with mixed doubles events in the Olympics.

HISTORY OF BADMINTON 3 Badminton could be traced back to more than 2000 years ago to the ancient game called battledore (bat or paddle) and shuttlecock (also called “bird” or “birdie”), similar games were played for centuries across Eurasia countries such as Greece, Egypt, China, India, and Japan. From the 1600s, battledore and shuttlecock was just a game involving 2 persons hitting a shuttlecock towards each other as many times as possible before it hit the ground and it used to be an upper-class game in Europe, including England.

COURT DIMENSIONS 4 The badminton court varies in size depending on the number of players (individual or even), measuring 13,4 meters in length and 5,18 meters in width if they are singular, and 6,10 meters if in doubles. The field is divided in two by a net, being made with a thin rope and having a white canvas of 7,5 centimeters wide at the top throughout its length, measuring 76 centimeters and being about 1,55 meters from the ground. The outer lines on the sides mark the width of the field of pairs and the interiors mark for an individual. At the bottom of the field has a slightly shorter line, this marks the limit of the field of pairs when the service is done (after the opposing team returns its service, the field returns to normal length). You can also see in the image below that the network 1,98m is a line that marks the start of the service zone. This service area corresponds to the area that you have to do the service, and in which service must fall (if you make a short service and the steering wheel falls in the zone before the service area you lose the move and the opponent gains a point ).

RULES OF BADMINTON 5 The badminton rules are simple and there are not so many. Let’s now mention some that are more common. Service: The service must always be done diagonally, and if it is not done that way, the opponent wins the point. Play on the Net: If you touch the net while playing and the touch is substantial with the body or racket, it is considered foul and the opponent wins the point. Serve on the wrong side: As has been said, the service side depends on your number of points. If you do it the wrong way, it is automatically foul and point for the opponent, if he does not follow the move.

EQUIPMENT 6 Badminton Shuttle This should be made of goose feathers, 16 of them (if not official or in newer grades you can find also in plastic, which last much longer), weighing between 4,7 and 5,5 grams. Its base is made of cork or polyurethane and has in the center a lead to maintain its direction. As they are light and fragile, especially those made of feathers, in an official game they are used between 7 and 10 shuttlecocks and can reach speeds at or near 300 km/hour Badminton Racket The badminton racket is usually made of sturdy but lightweight materials such as carbon fiber or titanium, thinking about 100 grams. Its maximum measure is 68 centimeters in length and consists of ropes twisted vertically and horizontally. These badminton rackets can withstand from 7 to 11 pounds of force. BASIC SKILLS GRIP Backhand and forehand Grip The only difference while playing the 2 kinds of strokes is in the use of fingers. Push the index finger forward while playing forehand strokes. Push the thumb forward while playing backhand strokes. Stance 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.

Footwork 7 Badminton is played on a court with limited space, and the athletes have to take care of the same while playing. Footwork plays a huge role in helping with an effective and organized movement on the court. In fact, some coaches even raise footwork to prime importance over other skills. Serve Service is among the most basic skill that you need to master in Badminton. Also, you should ensure to make a legal service otherwise it might lead to penalty points. Check out Badminton rules and dimensions here. 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 Drop Shot Amongst all the basic skills in Badminton, the drop shot is the most technical one. Badminton Drop Shots are 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. There are slow and fast drop shots, played judging the situation. This fundamental badminton skill if developed properly can turn an intermediate player into an expert. Clear or Lob The lob shot in Badminton can be imagined as a shot with an inverted ‘U’ trajectory. It is normally played from the forecourt with an aim to lift or ‘lob’ the shuttle over the opponent. The idea is to land it as near to the baseline as it is, at an angle that is impossible to clear. This is similar to the drop in challenging the opponent with sudden motion backward this time. It can also be executed by both backhand and forehand. This generally results in the creation of space in the front and midcourt, opening plenty of opportunities. It is one of the basic badminton skill one can learn with practice without joining coaching.

Technical and Tactical Skills 8 The simplest way that the coach can use to deliver tactical and technical skills to the players is by using a discrete element that gives information about two separate areas. This is one of the ways that the coaches have been instructed to use in the past. However, it may not be the best way the players can rely on to receive this information because the context of the technique may be lacking. This may make the players not to be aware of the relevant technical and badminton tactical techniques and even the application and significance of these techniques being delivered. OFFICIATING IN BADMINTION The badminton game has about 12 judges (true, such a small field and so many people to see), being separated by functions: Referee: This is aided by the remaining judges and is the one that has the final word on decisions regarding compliance with the rules during the game. Line Judge: In a game 10 line judges are present, being responsible for seeing if the shuttle falls out of the limit of the field and also to warn the general referee of some infraction in the rules. Service Judge: The service judge has the sole purpose of observing the timing of the service to see if it is executed correctly and whether all rules are met by both players.
