INTRODUCTION

Badminton is played throughout the world from beginner to international level by boys,
girls, men and women. It is played by able-bodied and disabled people. Provision is made for
ethnic groups and for women-only groups. It can be a simple game for beginners or a dynamic
game for top athletes.

The beginning stage of learning Badminton is the exploratory phase, where the player is
attempting to learn the correct sequence of movements of all the basic skills e.g. serve, return of
serve, overhead shot. A number of errors may be made and players will need feedback to
recognize and correct these errors. Initially a player may find it difficult to rally and have limited
stroke range. During the intermediate stage a player will be performing more consistently and
with more quality e.g. good length. Timing and anticipation will improve although skills may
break down under pressure in a game situation.
At the advanced stage all the basic skills are performed with quality and flair . Players are able
to concentrate on more detailed aspects of the skills and the tactics required, producing surprise
elements if needed.

 PREFACE

Education is purposive; it has some end in view. It has a certain kind of a world in mind.
It idealizes a certain kind of a world in mind. It idealizes a certain kind of society and a certain
type of individual. Education is the social process of change in the behavior of human
organisms. We educate people by changing them as individuals, by helping them to develop
new insights, a new sense of values, and new abilities.

In developing countries, sports developing cooperation is still in the need of justification

and steadfast arguments. Many people ask the question “why invest in sports in developing
countries for which water supply, health service and agriculture projects are much better suited?
An apt reply to this question may be “for many of the people of a developing country, Sports is
the only ‘Sweaty’ Leisure-time activity. Sports represent a moment of joy in the midst of hard
poverty-stricken and dirty everyday life. Doing sports even makes one’s work go more smoothly
the next day.

These instructional materials will be useful to the PE Instructors and students in

delivering the theories and different activities of PHED 03 – Individual/Dual Sports –
BADMINTON.

The star in the logo stands for the perfection of the human person as well as the
research for truth, while the five concentric circles depict infinite wisdom.

Both the five-pointed star and the five concentric circles stand for quintessence, meaning the
highest form of quality or the most perfect example of creation. The star is golden yellow not
only because this is a star’s natural color but also because, together with the dark maroon used
as background, it is the traditional color of the University. The five concentric circles are white
because it symbolizes purity.

HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT

The modern history of badminton began in India with a game known as poona. Poona
was a competitive sport that British Army officers learned and brought back to England. Even
before battledore and shuttlecock evolved, there were similar sports being played throughout
the world. In fifth century China, ti jian zi was played by kicking a shuttle into the air. By the
1600s, people in Europe were playing jeu de volant, a game that used a racket rather than feet
to volley the shuttle.

By the time British officers stationed in India encountered poona the game was a fast-
paced competitive sport. These officers took the equipment for poona back to England in the
early 1870s. In the 1890’s, the game found its way to Canada and shortly thereafter to the
United States at the return of the 19 th century. Badminton was introduced by the Americans in
our country. This game can be played Indoor and outdoor, a game of speed, balance, agility
and endurance.

Badminton is a game played with rackets on a court divided by a net. It is distinguished

from other racket sports all of which use a ball of some size, by two intriguing features: the use
of shuttlecock and the fact that the shuttlecock must not touch the ground during the rally. The
flight characteristics of the shuttlecock and the pace created by constant volleying combine to
make badminton one of the most exciting sports to play and to watch.

FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT

Badminton Court Dimensions

The overall dimensions are 20 feet (6.10m) by 44 feet (13.40m), marking the sidelines
for doubles play and long service lines for singles play. The single court is 17ft. wide and 44 ft.
long. There are also centre line, a short service line, and a doubles long service line.

-3-
 The court is bisected laterally by a net elevated five feet (5 ft.) above the ground at the
center of the court and five feet one inch ( 5’1” ft) at the net posts, which are placed on the
double sidelines. When the game is played indoors, usually on a gymnasium floor, the

ceiling should be not less than thirty feet ( 30 ft.) over the full court area, and this space should
be entirely free of girders and other obstructions. There should be at least four feet of clear floor
space surroundings each court and between any two courts.

The lines of the court should be of white or yellow, and they must be 1 ½ inches wide.
The net line marks the middle of the court where the net is placed, creating a 22 feet by 20 feet
area on each side of the net.

Short Service Line

The short service line is marked 6 feet 6 inches from the center line. The area inside the short
service line is also called the Non Volley Zone.

Centre Line

The Centre Line is the line that divides the court from the Short Service Line to the Back
Boundary Line. This delineates the Left from Right Service Court.

Side Line for Singles Play

The Singles Side Line is marked 1 1/2 feet from the edge of the outer boundary (doubles side
line)

Back Boundary Line and Long Service Line for Singles

The back boundary line is the same for singles and doubles play it is the outermost back line on
the court.

Long Service Line for Doubles

The Long Service line for Doubles is marked 2 1/2 feet inside the Back Boundary Line

Racket – used to hit the bird, the racket is shaped like a tennis racket and has strings, but
weighs much less. The frame of the racket, including the handle, is not to exceed 680 mm
(26.75 inches) in overall length, and 230 mm (9 inches) in overall width. The overall length
of the head is not to exceed 290 mm. Most rackets are made from light man-made materials
such as carbon, aluminum, graphite, steel and are string with synthetic material such as
nylon.

Shuttlecock - It has a small ball at the front to give it speed, and feathers protruding
from it to help it float when it is hit high into the air. An official shuttlecock must have 14-
16 feathers and are usually made from a goose or duck and from the left wing of the
bird only. The traditional feathered shuttlecock is used in all major competitions. Various
synthetic shuttles are acceptable, and especially suitable for club and school play, if
their flight characteristics are similar. The feathered shuttle must weigh from 4.74 to
5,50 grams.

Both kinds of shuttle, but especially the feather shuttles, will last much longer if
they are humidified. This keeps the shuttle from drying, becoming little, and thus
breaking. The testing of a shuttle’s speed takes place at the beginning of a match.
The test is made by having a player strike the shuttle with a full underhand stroke
from a spot directly above one back boundary line in a direction parallel to the
sideline and at an upward angle. It must land in a three-foot range centred on the
opposite doubles long service line.

The better known brands of feather shuttles are: Black Knight, Carlton, Flying,
HL,
Rackets International, RSL, Sportcraft, Victor, Dunlop, and Yonex.

 Shoes – special court shoes are worn to allow players to move quickly across
the court, and to give them traction for quick movements around the court.
