Inventend & history *Invented in India in a version called poona. British army officers learned the game about 1870. In 1873 the duke of Beaufort introduced the sport at his country estate, Badminton, from which the game derives its name. *The game of badminton originated in Siam, China over 2,000 years ago. It was brought to England in 1870 and was played somewhat like tennis. After being played in Canada, badminton arrived in America and has been popular since 1929. Since 1992, badminton has been an Olympic sport, with bird speeds reaching 100 m.p.h.

COURT DIMENSIONS * Court dimensions The badminton court is 13.4m long and 6.1m wide. For singles the court is marked 5.18m wide. The lines marking out the court are easily distinguishable and coloured white or yellow. The lines are 40mm wide.

EQUIPMENT In this article, we cover the four basic equipment and gear required for a game of badminton. * Badminton Racket. Badminton rackets can be made from several types of materials. * Shuttlecock. There are two types of shuttlecocks - plastic and feathered shuttlecocks. * Badminton Shoes. * Badminton Attire.

B ASIC SKILLS The 5 basic skills in badminton involve your: Table of Contents 1. Grip 2. The Serve a. High serve b. Low serve 3. Footwork 4. Stance a. Defensive stance b. Attacking stance c. Net stance 5. Strokes a. Forehand shots b. Backhand shots 1. Grip Like any racquet game, having a proper grip in badminton is essential. The correct grip will allow you to have more control and will help you dictate where you place your shot. There are numerous ways of holding a badminton racket depending on whether your shot is forehand or backhand.

For example, you could use the: * Forehand grip: Anything on your racquet side (right side if you’re right-handed, left side if you’re left-handed) whether it be overarm or underarm. * Backhand grip: Anything to your non-racket side (left side if you’re right-handed, right side if you’re left-handed) whether it be overarm of underarm. * Universal grip: A type of backhand grip where your thumb has moved to the edge of the fatter face of your grip. This is used for backhand cross-court net shots, backhand clears, and backhand straight drop shots from the rear co urt. * Panhandle grip: Where your thumb and the finger pinch the top of the racket in order to tap/net-kill the incoming shuttlecock. Make sure to hold your badminton racket lightly no matter what type of grip you use. Make sure to hold your badminton racket lightly no matter what type of grip you use. In fact, the grip should be so light, that someone can come along and pull it away from your hands. This will help you prevent wrist injuries and improve the angle and flexibility of your shot.

2. The Serve Service is another necessary skill you need to master for badminton. A good serve is likely to get you points and may give you some advantage during the rally. There are two types of services used in badminton: a. High Serve High serve is used when you want to force your opponent to run to the back of the court by hitting the shuttlecock toward the rear end of the court (sometimes the corner). A good high serve will usually save you from receiving a smash from your opponent. b. Low Serve The low serve is used to bring the opponent forward by hitting the shuttlecock toward the front of the court. If you managed to send a fabulous low serve, the opponent would have to dash forward and move under the shuttle to return it.

Depending on the quality of the return, you might be able to return the shot with a net kill/smash. 3. Footwork Footwork is another vital skill for badminton. You have to continually adjust your speed according to the speed of the shuttlecock. The players have limited space to move around, so good footwork is imperative. With proper footwork, you will be able to conserve energy and face shots coming toward you from any direction. 4. Stance While returning strokes from the opponent, the stance is a crucial skill required in badminton. Proper posture will allow you to return the opponent’s strokes efficiently and enable you to get an advantage in rallies. There are three basic stances in badminton:

a. Defensive Stance You can use the defensive stance to defend opponents smashes. To take the defensive posture, face the net with your body and put the racquet at about your waist height. You can also use this stance to perform a high clear since you’ll need to make a fast, unconscious decision when returning the shot. Using the defensive stance, you could perform a lift to buy some time. This time will help you regain your posture and prepare for the opposing player’s reply. Lifts allow the opponents to send a return smash but this doesn’t make them an ineffective defensive stroke. By using the lift from a defensive stance, you can look for the perfect opportunity to counter-attack your opponent, such as by playing a net shot.

b. Attacking Stance The attacking stance will allow you to return a short or high lift from your opponent. To utilize the attacking stance, try to get behind the shuttlecock, raise your arm, and then transfer your body weight to your racquet leg, and hit the shuttlecock as a smash. By utilizing the attacking stance, and depending on the opponent’s stroke, you can also send a drop shot. Drop shots can be used when receiving the shuttlecock from the front or back part of the court. c. Net Stance The net stance in badminton is used to return the opponent’s stroke after sending a net shot. Place your racquet foot forward and your other foot backwards. Place the racquet in front of your body slightly above your waist for the And net stance.

One way to get into the net stance is by first using a tumbling net shot. The tumbling net shot makes the shuttlecock tumble and spin right above the net and into your opponent’s court. After sending a tumbling net shot, your body will naturally put itself in the net stance. When you are in the net stance, get ready to perform a net kill move to an attacking stance to perform a winning smash. 5. Strokes Strokes are fundamental to becoming a good badminton player and executing superior shots. Broadly categorizing, there are two main kinds of strokes: a. Forehand Shots Forehand shots should be played when the shuttlecock is on your racket side. Your index finger will control the forehand stroke as you swing overarm or underarm. Swing the wrist along with your index finger as support to play a forehand stroke. b. Backhand shots Backhand shots should be played when the shuttlecock is on your non-racket side with your thumb controlling the strokes.

While playing badminton, your light grip will mean you’ll be able to switch between the forehand and backhand grip at ease. To play a backhand shot, hold the racquet with the back of your hand in front and swing your wrist forward while using your thumb as support.

TECHNICAL AND TACTICAL SKILLS - Technical skills is where a person moves there body to perform a task. Than tactical skills is where a person makes decision and actions in the game to gain an advantage. Like strategy it is ability to make a tactical decision within a game.
