BADMINTON NOTEBOOK 5
History of Badminton
Europe and Asia have ancient history in Badminton, it is estimated to have been
around for more than 2000 years. Badminton was call battledore or shuttlecock before it
was renamed what we call it today, Badminton. In the 1600’s Badminton was considered
a sport for the wealthy. In the 1600’s they simply played by hitting the shuttlecock back
and forth with a bad without allowing the shuttlecock to hit the ground.
A similar form of Badminton was played in India in the 1800’s called Poon. The
difference was a net was used in Poon, hitting the shuttlecock back and forth over the net
to each other. This game intrigued the British officers that were over in India in the
1800’s. The British officers took it back to England and it was introduced over there with
great success. It was introduced as a game for the guests of the Duke of Beaufort at his
stately home ‘Badminton’ in Gloucestershire, England where it became popular. () In
March 1898, the first Open Tournament was held at Guildford the first 'All England'
Championships were held the following year. () Shortly after in the 1930”s the Unites
States, Canada, and Denmark took up a interest in Badminton.
The International Badminton Federation was formed in 1934; the different places
that joined this Federation are England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland, Denmark, Holland,
Canada, New Zealand and France. Later in 1936 India joined. The first tournament was
named the Thomas Cup. The International Badminton Federation held the Thomas Cup,
which was a world’s men’s team championship. Later several different tournaments were
set in place including different sex, individual, and mixed teams.
Badminton became a part of the Olympics in 1992 in Barcelona. Therefore
badminton is fairly new. In Barcelona there was a singles and a doubles event, not until
BADMINTON NOTEBOOK 6
the Olympics in Atlanta in 1996 were mixed double events added to badminton. This is
the only event in the Olympics that has a mixed gender event. Since Badminton has been
put in the Olympics only five difference countries have won the gold medal in
Badminton.

Skills
Grip
The proper grip is vital for a individual to learn to be able to hit the shuttle cock
correctly. When gripping the racquet with the forehand grip the play should hold it as if
they were shaking hands with the racquet. The racquet should lay in the hand diagonally
and the edge of the racquet should line up parallel into the palm. Ring finger and pink
should wrap around the racquet. This prevents the racquet from sliding out of the hand or
into the palm of the hand. The index finger is placed a little farther apart from the rest of
the fingers but still wrapped around the racquet for support. The check and see if the grip
is correct see if the grip between the thumb and index finger form a “V” shape. The “V”
should form over the bevel of the handle.
BADMINTON NOTEBOOK 8
The backhand grip can be performed in two different ways depending on the type
of shot the player plans to use. If the player plans to use a power shot such as clears,
drives, or smashes. To get the correct grip first make a forehand grip on the racket then
rotate and move the hand and thumb to the handles left bevel and up the hand about
finger width closer to the head of the racket. Higher skilled players are able to hit a
backhand shot with a forehand grip. If the player is trying to perform a drive, smash, or
body shots then the racket handle should be places more perpendicular with the four
fingers. The thumb should be up slightly more. The thumb should be on the racquets back
bevel. These strokes using the grips are using the wrist, forehand, and elbow.
BADMINTON NOTEBOOK 9
Ready Position
When the shuttlecock is not on the player’s side of the court they should always
be standing on the balls of their feet with the knees bent and the feet shoulder width apart.
The racket should be being held in the middle of the body near the chest. This is called
the ready position.
BADMINTON NOTEBOOK 10
Underhand Forehand Clear
There are several steps to perform an overhand forehand stroke the first is to
begin in the read position. Once the shuttlecock has been returned to the player on the
forehand side then the player should turn their body facing the wall and the non-dominate
foot side of the body facing the net. When the shuttle travels to the player’s side the
player should have the racket in the scratch the back position, the weight should be on the
back foot, when the ball come, the hand without the racket should track the ball, the
player should wait till the shuttle fall to its lowest point before making contact with the
shuttle. Once contact has been made the weight should be transferred to the front foot and
the swing should have been made all the ways through.
Overhand Forehand Clear
The first thing when performing the forehand overhead clear is being prepared for
the shuttlecock in ready position and with the forehand grip ready. When the ball is being
BADMINTON NOTEBOOK 11
sent over to the players then they should turn their body with their non-dominant side of
the body facing the net. The weight should begin in the back foot with the racket up
behind the head in the read position. The non dominant hand should be tracking the
shuttle as it is coming over the net, when the shuttle makes it over the player should hit
the shuttle at the highest point in front of the body almost parallel with the body. As the
follow through begins the racket should follow all the way through and weight should be
shifted to the front foot. Then move back into ready position ready to hit the shuttle
again.
Underhand backhand Stroke
This is very similar to the underhand forehand stroke. The only difference is the
racket is on the backhand side of the body. The player should start in ready position.
When the shuttlecock is returned to them, they will turn their body to the wall and the
BADMINTON NOTEBOOK 12
dominant foot side of the body will be facing the net. The player will track the shuttle as
it is being returned. The player will wait till the shuttle get to the lowest point then strike
it with the racket. Remember to follow through.
Overhead Backhand Stroke
The overhead backhand stroke should begin in the ready position as the shuttle is
being set over the net the player should turn their body facing the wall with this time their
dominate side of the body facing the net. The racket should be placed touching the hit
and lined up parallel with the racket face facing the net and the base line. The elbow
should be facing up. The weigh should start in the back foot and as the shuttle come over
and the racket makes contact with the shuttle at the highest point the weight should
transfer to the front foot, while the racket continues to follow through towards the target.
Service
BADMINTON NOTEBOOK 13
This is a very important skill because it begins the game and begins play after a
fault or error has been made. There is two types of serve a short and long serve. Both
serves use the same form but the difference is the power used to hit the shuttlecock to
make it travel to the projected destination of the court.
When hitting the shuttlecock using the long serve the shuttles travel should be
high and deep in the court. The shuttle should land near the baseline of the court. This is
normally used in singles because it is hardest to return. When hitting the shuttlecock for a
short serve the shuttle should travel over the net and land near the line of the non-
volleying zone.
Steps to a legal serve are hitting the shuttle below the waist with the entire racket
shaft angles downwards. The racket is held below the waist out in front of the body with
the shuttlecock in the non-dominate hand but the feathers of the shuttle. When make
contact the racket should come back behind the body still below the waist, make contact
with the shuttle below the waist, and should follow through up to the shoulder.
BADMINTON NOTEBOOK 14
Drills to Improve Skills
Serve and Serve Return Drill
In this drill the teacher should instruct the students to find a partner. At this point
the nets should be hung up and ready for use. In this four people can be at each court for
the most effective time management if there are not enough nets for each individual pair
to have their own court. The pairs may alternate turns and then boxes once both partners
have had a turn serving and returning. To perform this skill the partner that will be the
server first will serve the shuttle over the net performing a deep serve projected to land
near the baseline or short serve near the line before the non-volleying zone. The partner
returning the shuttle should aim in several different places depending on partner position,
one being deep returns, drop shot, or cross-court. The amount of repetition each group
can change depending on how many people are at that court but the recommended is 30
serves for each partner and 10 to each area of the court for the partner returning the
shuttlecock to the service side. The serve side should not stop the returning sides ball
before it hit the floor so the player that returned the shuttle knows if they completed their
shot or need to make modifications. Once the partners have completed the task the
partners switch roles.
Drop Drill
This drill the partners should be on opposite sides of the net the person hitting the
ball to the person who will perform a drop shot should have 5 shuttlecocks. Once all the
BADMINTON NOTEBOOK 15
shuttlecocks have been hit over to the partner. The roles of the partners will switch and
repeat the drill.
Volley Drill
In this drill the teacher will tell the class to get in partners. The partners will stand
about 15 yards apart and practice the volley between each other using all the different
types of clears. This drill can also be done over the net.
Clear, Smash, Drop
Is this drill the class should be divided into partners of two. The partners need to
be on opposite sides of the net. One partner will start with the shuttlecock first, that
partner will hit a clear to their partner, the partner will then try and smash the shuttle back
to the partner, and then the partner who served first will try and stop the smash and use a
drop shot on the partner.
Lead-Up Games
Wall Badminton
A wall area about twenty feet wide with a high ceiling is needed for the game.
Three to four players will attempt to keep the shuttle alive on the wall using clears, drops,
and smashes. Each player is given a number to indicate the hitting order. The only player
that can score is player number one. The player in the #1 position hits the shuttle against
the wall to start the round and rotates behind the other players to the last position in-line.
BADMINTON NOTEBOOK 16
The players must hit the shuttle in consecutive order and move behind the line to the last
position. After the designated player hits the shuttle against the wall all other players
must move up in line. If the shuttle hits the floor, the player in the position on receives a
point. The player allowing the shuttle to hit the floor moves to the last position and other
players move up. The strategy is to get payers ahead of you to move back and at the
same time move forward to position one in order to score points. The player who scores
ten points first is the winner. Players must hit the shuttle within the marked area on the
wall. This should be a fast paced game where everyone is continuously moving. The
game can be modified for students with lower skill levels by not requiring students to hit
the shuttle in consecutive order.
King/Queen of the Court
In this game there need to be at least four people. There will be a queen or king
who start of on one side of the court alone. The others stand in a line. The person in the
front will be the first challenger. They will be amongst each other until one side loses. If
the queen or king wins then that person will remain king or queen but if the challenger
wins that person become the king or queen of the court. The old king or queen goes to the
back of the line on the other side of the court and the next person in line will become the
challenger.
Concise Badminton Rules
Toss
A coin toss shall be conducted before a game starts. If you win, you can choose
between serving first or to start play at either end of the court. Your opponent can then
exercise the remaining choice.
BADMINTON NOTEBOOK 17
Court & Net Dimensions
Badminton is played on a rectangular court that is 44ft x 22ft (double) /44ft x 17ft
(single). The net height is 5ft 1in on the sides/ 5ft on the center of the court. In a doubles
match the full width of the court is used but in a singles match the width of the court is
17ft.
Scoring System
The rules of badminton states that a badminton match shall consist of the best of
three games. In doubles a men’s singles, the first side to score 15 points win the game. In
women’s singles, the first side to score 11 points wins the game.
If the score becomes a 14-all (10-all in women’s singles), the side that first scored
14 (10) shall exercise the choice to continue the game to 15 (11) points or to ‘set’ the
BADMINTON NOTEBOOK 18
game to 17 (13) points. The side winning a game serves first in the next game. Only the
serving side can add a point to its score.
Recently, IBF have been testing a new scoring format of 21 points per game on all
Badminton competition and decided to replace the old format permanently.
Changes of ends
You have to change ends with your opponent after finishing the first game and
every odd game thereafter.
Rules of Badminton – Singles
Serving and Receiving Courts
You shall serve from, and receive in, the right service court when you or your
opponent has scored an even number of points in that game. You shall serve from, and
receive in, the left service court when you or your opponent has scored an odd number of
points in that game. You and your opponent will hit the shuttle alternately until a ‘fault’
is made or the shuttle ceases to be in play.
Scoring and Serving
Your score a point and serve again from the alternate service court when you play
your opponent make a “fault’ or the shuttle ceases to be in play because it touches the
surface of your opponent’s side of court. No points will be scored when you make a
“fault’ or the shuttle ceases to be in play because it touches the surface of your side of the
court. The serving right will then be transferred to your opponent.
Rules of Badminton - Doubles
At the start of the game, and each time a side gains the right to serve, the service
shall be delivered from the right court. Only your opponent standing diagonally opposite
BADMINTON NOTEBOOK 19
of you shall return the service. Should your opponent’s partner touched or hit the shuttle,
it shall be a ‘fault’ and your side scores a point.
Order of Play and Position on Court
After the service is returned, either you or your partner may hit the shuttle from
any position on your side of the net. Then either player from the opposing side may do
the same, and so on, until the shuttle ceases to be in play.
Scoring and Serving
If your are serving or receiving first at the start of any game, you shall serve or
receive in the right service court when your side or your opponent’s side scored and even
number of points. You shall serve from or receive in the left service court when your side
or opponent’s side has scored an odd number of points. The reverse shall apply to your
partner.
In any game, the right to serve passes consecutively from the initial server to the
initial receiver, then to that initial’s partner, then to the opponent who is due to serve
from the right service court, then to that player’s partner, and so on. You shall not serve
out of turn, receive out of turn, or receive two consecutive services in the same game,
except as provided in service court error and ‘lets’.
Service Court Errors
A service court error has been made when a player has served out of turn, has
served from the wrong service or standing on the wrong service court while being
prepared to receive the service and it has been delivered.
If a service court error is discovered after the next serve has been delivered, the
error shall not be corrected. If a service court error is discovered before the next service is
BADMINTON NOTEBOOK 20
delivered, the following rules apply. If both sides committed an error, it shall be called a
‘let’. If one side committed the error and lost the rally, the error shall not be corrected. IF
there is a ‘let’ because of a service court error, the rally is replayed with the error
corrected. If a service court error is not to be corrected, play in that game shall proceed
without changing the player’s new service courts.
Faults
The rules of badminton consider the following as faults:
1. If the shuttle lands outside the boundaries of the court, passes through or under
the net, fail to pass the net, touches the ceiling or side walls, touches the person or
dress of a player or touches an other object or person.
2. If the initial point of contact with the shuttle is not on the striker’s side of the net.
(The striker may, however, follow the shuttle over the net with the racket in the
course of a stroke.)
3. If a player touches the net or its supports with racket, person or dress, invades an
opponent’s court over the net with racket or person except as permitted.
4. If a player invades an opponent’s court under the net with racket or person such

must be made before the next service is delivered, or, if at the end of the game,
before the side that appeals has left the court.)
Badminton Rules Condensed
The Basics
Badminton can be played either as a singles game or as a doubles game. All the
equipment needed by the players is a racket each and a shuttlecock.
The Court
Badminton is played on a rectangular court that is 44ft x 22ft (doubles)/ 44ft x
27ft (single). Net height: 5ft 1in on the sides and 5ft in the center of the court. In a
BADMINTON NOTEBOOK 23
doubles match the full width of the court is used but in the singled match the width of the
court is 17ft.
The Game
Before the start of a match the players should toss a coin. The winner the coin toss
can either opt to serve or choose which side of the court to play on. Once they have
decided, the loser takes the discarded option.
Scoring
The rules of badminton states that badminton match shall consist of the best of
three games. In doubles and men’s singles, the first side to score 15 points wins the game.
In women’s singles, the first side to score 11 points wins the game.
Serving
To serve in badminton that server must hit the base of the shuttlecock in a single
stroke with their racket pointing downward. Neither the server nor the receiver can lift a
foot off the ground until the shuttlecock has been served. The shuttlecock has to be below
the server’s waist (defined as the lowest rib of the server) when it makes contact with
their racket.
The shuttlecock must make it past the receiver’s service line and stay within the
court boundaries; otherwise the serve is a fault, resulting in a point being awarded to
receiver and service passing to them. There are no double faults in badminton.
In a single match the player serving serves from the right if their score is an even
and from the left if their score is odd. The receiving player stands in the court box
BADMINTON NOTEBOOK 24
diagonally opposite to him. The server changes side from each serve. The receiving
player cannot come forward of the service area.
In doubles the server stays the same throughout the game and follows the same
pattern. If the opposing team wins; the player on the right serves if their score is even and
the player on the left serves if their score is odd. When a team is receiving, the player
diagonally opposite the player must stay in the serving area. The other player can stand
anywhere they like on their half of the court so long as they don’t distract the server. The
same is true for the non-serving player in the serving team.
By tradition, in a mixed doubles game the serving team’s female player will make
the first serve of the match.
The Game
The shuttlecock must make it over the service line when it is served, otherwise it
is a fault and the receiving team wins both a point and the serve.
After the serve a rally can take place anywhere within the court boundaries and a
point is scored when the shuttlecock hits the ground within these boundaries. IF the
servers win the point they continue to serve. If the receivers win the point they become
the servers.
If the shuttlecock lands outside the court boundaries this is a fault and a point
goes to the receiver. Similarly if a player fails to get the shuttlecock over the net this is
also a fault. It is also classed as a fault if the shuttlecock hits the ceiling. The shuttlecock
can only be hit once in a rally. Though only these can be hit in the serve, the feathers of
the shuttlecock can be hit during the rally.
