COURT DIMENSIONS

COURT DIMENSION A court specifically made for badminton may sound like a foreign concept, especially to those who may have been exposed to badminton through multi-purpose gyms or simply through casual backyard play. Let's take a look at what the dimensions are for a standard badminton court, and how that knowledge may be used to make wise decisions on court. The dimensions of a badminton court are 20 ft x 44 ft (6.1 m x 13.4 m), an area of 880 ft² (81.75 m²). The diagonal length of the full court is 48.30 ft (14.72 m). Both singles and doubles are played on the same standard court. The difference is that badminton singles is played without the side or doubles alleys that extend 1 ft 6 in (0.46 m) on either side of the court. As such, the boundaries of the singles court is played on a 17 ft x 44 ft (5.18 m x 13.4 m) court space, an area of 748 ft2 (69.49 m²). Each of the lines drawn on a standard badminton court have a thickness of 1.57 in (40 mm).

BADMINTON EQUIPMENT AND GEARS

BASIC SKILSS 1. STANCE Everything starts from your stance. By having a great stance, your strikes, speed, power, and overall feel to the game will be at their best. There are three kinds of stances: Offensive stance, Defensive Stance, and Net Stance. •OFFENSIVE STANCE is made before delivering a powerful strike. This stance is best done by facing your body to the sidelines racket leg behind and holding both of your hands up to get the best possible power for your strike. Also, keep your legs shoulder-width for best stability. •DEFENSIVE STANCE is made when expecting a smash from your opponent. This stance is best done by facing towards the net, and holding the racket ready on your waistline, lightly pointeed forward. •NET STANCE is done when your opponent has made a net shot. This stance is best done by placing your racket foot forward and keeping the racket up above your waistline ready to leap forward to receive the net shot. 2. GRIP Believe it or not, the way you hold your racket has a tremendous effect on how effective you will be while playing badminton. In badminton, there are two main kinds of grips: Forehand and Backhand grips. •FOREHAND GRIP A forehand grip is the side of your racket. For example, if you are holding the racket on your right hand, then the right side is your forehand side and vice versa for the lefties. •BACKHAND GRIP A backhand grip is the other side of your racket hand. So if you are holding your racket in the right hand, your backhand side is the left side. Again, vice versa for left-handed people.

BASIC SKILSS 3. SERVING Serving is an essential part of badminton, and the right kind of serve can be a matter of lost or won point. Depending on where you want to land your serve, you can use either a high serve or low serve technique. •HIGH SERVE When you do a high serve, you will strike the shuttlecock downwards from high. A high serve is best made if you want to aim your strike to the back end of the court. Optimally, you want to aim the serve on your opponent’s backhand side because, in nearly all cases, the backhand side is weaker. •LOW SERVE When executing a low serve, you will strike the shuttlecock upwards from below. You should aim the shuttlecock on the front end of the court. The best way to do a low serve is to strike the shuttlecock in a way that it slightly exceeds the net line on your opponent’s side, so it is harder to return well. 4. FOOTWORK Footwork is a big chunk of how good of a player you can be. In fact, some people say that it is the most important skill of all and I would say it certainly is one of them. Below are the basic 6 step footwork that is used in badminton. •FRONT FOREHAND CORNER: Located closest to the net on your forehand side corner. •FRONT BACKHAND CORNER: Located closest to the net on your backhand side corner. •FOREHAND DEFENSE: Located in the middle of the court on your forehand side. •BACKHAND DEFENSE: Located in the middle of the court on your backhand side. •BACK FOREHAND CORNER: Located closest to the backline on your forehand side corner. •BACK FOREHAND CORNER: Located closest to the backline on your backhand side corner.

BASIC SKILSS 5. BASIC STROKES The basic badminton strokes include many different strokes from both the forehand and backhand sides. These strokes can be: •Basic groundstrokes •Serving shots •The lift (Lob) •Overhead smashes •Volleys •Drop shots •Clear shots •Net shots 6. HAND-EYE COORDINATION Hand-eye coordination is really hard in badminton as it is in all racket sports. Even ESPN has ranked all racket sports really high in the difficulties of hand-eye coordination. 7. PERCEPTION AND ANTICIPATION Perception and anticipation are both extremely important skills in badminton, and they might give you an advantage in the match. First, let’s talk about perception, which is an easier skill to master. •PERCEPTION Perception means your ability to be aware of something through your senses (sight, hearing, feel). •ANTICIPATION Anticipation, on the other hand, is the ability to predict something that isn’t yet happened.

BASIC SKILSS 8. TIMING AND RHYTHM When you get your timing and rhythm to a good skill level, you will see a drastic leap in your overall skill level. Timing your strike and movement right and having a certain rhythm on the play feels exhilarating and great, and that will give you a good confidence boost on top of everything. •TIMING When you don’t strike your shuttlecock too early nor too late, but just at the right moment, you are able to have the optimal power and accuracy to your shot, which is likely to go as planned •RHYTHM Rhythm, on the other hand, doesen’t need as much mind and thinking as the timing does. Developing a natural rhythm in your game is essential if you want to be consistent on your strokes, footwork, and everything else.. 9. STRATEGIES AND TACTICS Tactics and strategies are needed in many things, and badminton is one of them. When talking about strategies and tactics, war often comes to mind. While this is true, as the book The Art Of War states, it can be used in everything, even when the book talks about it in terms of war. •STRATEGY a plan how you will win the match, and it is the whole picture of the game. For example, you could make a strategy that you will try to strike the shuttlecock in a way that your opponent is likely to hit the net. You should have multiple strategies in case one of your plan A won’t work because it’s obvious you need to change something. •TACTICS, on the other hand, are a smaller piece of the pie. For example, you can think a couple of strikes ahead and think if you strike on the left corner, and the opponent will return in a certain way which gives you the opportunity to strike it to the right close to the net.

BASIC SKILSS 10. EQUIPMENT KNOWLEDGE Last but not least, you need to know about the equipment that you can use in badminton. If you are a beginner, you don’t need to worry about this just yet. However, if you are an intermediate player or just someone that is really passionate about badminton, and wants to maximize the performance on the court, then it’s smart to know about different kinds of equipment. •Racket When it comes to badminton rackets, there are different string materials, frame materials, grips, weights that are all designed for different types of players and skill levels. •Shuttlecock There are feather and nylon shuttlecocks. Nylon shuttlecocks can be used outdoors because they won’t be harmed by the elements such as heat and moisture. Feather shuttlecocks have better aerodynamics which is better suited for indoors and competitive badminton •Shoes Badminton shoes are essential because of many things. The right shoes designed for your foot type can reduce soreness and pain while playing badminton, increase performance, speed, and improve the overall feel of the game. •More Then there are different kinds of clothing and accessories such as head or wristbands that you can implement into your game. All of this affects how you will feel on the court, which is related to how well you will play.

BADMINTON'S 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.

Tactical 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.

RULES OF THE GAME

RULES OF THE GAME SCORING RULES Individual games are played to 21 points and the first player or team to reach 21 points wins that game or set. In order to score a point you must win the rally. Points can be lost when: • The shuttle does not land in appropriate service court • Stepping forward while you serve • A serve or shot lands out of bounds off the court (lines of the court count as in bounds) • The shuttle does not make over the net, goes under, or is hit into the net •The shuttle is hit before it crosses over the net BEST OF THREE GAMES The team or player to win two games out of a three game series first is determined the champion of that match. This format allows for quick gameplay while still giving both players or teams the equal opportunity to win in each match. In tournaments, the only thing that really matters is the winner of the match as they will advance to the next round.

RULES OF THE GAME SERVING RULES In badminton, every time there is a serve there is a point scored, meaning you do not have to be the one who served in order to get a point. This helps improve the speed of play, and allow teams to comeback more quickly. The server must serve with the shuttlecock being hit from below their waist. During a serve neither player or team can move until the serve is completed. LET RULE A let can be called by the umpire in cases where the server hits the shuttle before the receiver is ready. However, unlike in tennis, during normal play, the shuttle may hit the net and still remain in play. ALTERNATE SERVING As soon as the shuttle is served, gameplay begins and the act of hitting back and forth between players or teams is known as a rally. The rally ends when one team or player commits a fault and the other team receives a point. That team then serves the next point. In match play, whichever team wins the game serves first in the next one.

RULES OF THE GAME WIN BY TWO POINTS In order to win an individual match the player or team must win by at least 2 points. This means that if the game was tied at 20-20, the player or team would need to score two points in a run to make the score 22-20 in order to win the game. However, if the score was 29-29, then whichever side scores the 30th point wins the game. TWO MINUTE BREAKS In between each game of a set, each player or team is allowed two full minutes to rest. Players have the chance to catch their breath and continue to hydrate an important element of all sporting events. Players are also given a 60 second break after the 11th point in the match is scored as well. FAULTS After the shuttle is hit into play, players cannot touch the net or its supports with their racket or body. This automatically results in a fault and a point for the other team. This rule was put into place to reduce interference with the net and can be called by the official at any point of play.

RULES OF THE GAME DOUBLE TAPS In badminton, players cannot hit the shuttle two times in a row. In singles and in doubles, each side has only one hit to get it over the net. Even if a player accidently touches the shuttle with their racket and their partner hits it over the net, that would still be a fault and a point for the other team. SERVING SIDE RULES In singles, when your score is an odd number such as 1 or 3, you serve on the left side of the court. When your score is an even number such as 0, 2, or 4 you serve from the right side of the court. The shuttle must land in the service court diagonal from where the server is standing. Players only switch sides after winning a rallying and a point.

RULES OF THE GAME DOUBLES SERVING RULES In doubles the same even and odd rule still applies. However, the substitution and rotation of who serves and when gets more complicated. Amongst a team of two players services does not change between them until the other teams stop the rally. It is only until the team wins the rally again and a point will the service change between the two players. If the serving side wins a rally, the serving side scores a point and the same server serves again from the alternate service court. If the receiving side wins a rally, the receiving side scores a point. The receiving side becomes the new serving side.

HOW TO OFFICIATE Badminton

How to officiate There are three types of officials in the sport of Badminton. 1. Referee 2. Umpire 3. Linesman The Referee takes responsibility for making sure the tournament is run according to all the rules, is fair and that sportsmanship is being upheld. There must be one Referee at all MBA Sanctioned Events. The Umpire takes responsibility for running individual matches. He or she is responsible for making all final decisions for points awarded in a match. Umpires are mandatory for final matches in the MBA Provincial Closed and Junior Closed, as well as any Badminton Canada or World Badminton Federation tournaments. Linesmen take responsibility for making line calls on shuttles that land on the floor of the badminton court. They are there to assist the umpire in making the best decision possible. Linesmen are not mandatory for any provincial tournaments, but are frequently used in more important matches.
