INTRODUCTION:
Sports can be
enjoyable as well
as a great way to
get or stay in
shape. Some
sports are
individual sports,
where one
athlete competes
on his or her own
merits. Other
sports are dual
sports, which
require two
athletes to
compete as a
team to win
together. Both of
these are distinct
from team
sports, where
larger numbers
of athletes work
together. The
main difference
between
individual and
dual sports is the
number of
athletes who
compete on the
same side.
Dual Sports
There are only a handful of sports that are strictly
dual sports and don’t have an option for individual
competition. At the Olympic level, beach volleyball
involves two players per team. In professional
wrestling—which some would argue isn’t a sport—
tag team matches involve two-person teams where
one competitor tags in or out of the match. You can
play two-on-two basketball as well.
BADMINTON
History of Badminton

with light strong rackets that are used
to strike a shuttlecock ( for a feather
cork missile) back and forth, before it
hits the ground the ground across a
high net within a rectangular court.
