badminton started to become popular in India in a small town called Poona. When
India was still British Colony badminton was played mostly by the British military
officers. At this point, Badminton was just a game played for fun, and it was known
as “battledore and shuttlecock” in British India instead of Badminton. The
“battledore” named was given from England. It is played by two (singles) and four
(doubles) players. The objective of the game is to hit the shuttlecock back and forth
across and above the net without landing on the floor.

LESSON PROPER
The history of badminton brings us back to the mid-18th century. The game of

India was still British Colony badminton was played mostly by the British military
officers.
At this point, Badminton was just a game played for fun, and it was known as
“battledore and shuttlecock” in British India instead of Badminton.
How the Name Badminton Came About
The bat was initially referred to as “Battledore”. Battledore and shuttlecock was a
rather simple outdoor game. Both players were just required to keep the shuttlecock in
the air as long as possible, preventing it from touching the ground.
Battledore and shuttlecock were then brought back to England where it was
introduced to the upper-class community.
Eventually, the game was officially introduced to the guests of the Duke of Beaufort
at his house. Interestingly, the house was called BADMINTON. The English loved
the game, and you can guess how the sport got its name “Badminton”.
Historical Development of Badminton
Quick facts on the development of the sport and history of badminton:
1. Official rules were developed after the game was introduced to the people
in England
2. The FIRST open badminton tournament was held at Guildford, England in
1898
3. The FIRST All England Badminton Championships were held the
following year.
4. The FIRST official Badminton World Championships was held in 1977.
5. Badminton became an Olympic sport in 1992.
6. The Badminton World Federation (BWF) introduced the Badminton Super
Series events in 2007 to further promote the sport

TOPIC 2
BASIC SKILLS IN BADMINTON
Badminton is one of the most followed and fast sport which demands utmost fitness. At
the same time, badminton is a beginner-friendly sport that anyone can start without much
hesitation. Playing the sport has many health advantages added to the fun. If and when
you start playing the wonderful sport, you need to work on some basics to make it the top
in the individually demanding sport. Besides, if you decide to go pro, basics are
something that will haunt you in the journey if not paid proper attention to them.

LEARNING OUTCOMES
At the end of this topic, you should be able to:
1. Perform the basic skills in badminton
2. Identify the different basic skills needed in playing Badminton
3. Analyze its uses as part of your strategy in playing the sports

LESSON PROPER
Basic Skills in Badminton
1. Grip
You will want to learn how to hold your racket with the forehand to hit shuttles on
that side of your body and backhand to hit on the opposite side. You will use a
forehand grip to hit above your head as well. You can hit the shuttle using a backhand
grip with your elbow up or down. It is good to practice hitting with these grips to
improve your skills.
1. Forehand Grip
- this grip is used to hit shots that are on the forehand side of your body and
around the headshots.
- your racket face shall be perpendicular to the floor.
- there shall be a V shape in between your thumb and your index finger.
2. Backhand Grip
- this grip is used to hit shots that are on the backhand side of your body.
- place your thumb against the back bevel of the handle for greater leverage
and power.

2. Footwork
Your footwork can bring more success to your game if you learn the basics of moving
on the court and practice them. Your ready position should include standing in the
center of the court if you are playing singles and bending your knees with your body
relaxed and waiting for play. Move your feet by shuffling them or gliding from left to
right and stepping or lunging forward. To move backward, go fast enough that you get
behind the shuttle to hit it hard enough.

Badminton is played on a court with limited space, and the athletes have to take care
of the same while playing. Footwork plays a huge role in helping with an effective
and organised movement on the court. Some coaches even raise footwork to prime
importance over other skills.
Tips for proper footwork
 Always remember the base (starting point).
 Move only 2-3 steps backwards.
 Shuffle only 1 step sidewards.
 Move only 2-3 steps front.

3. Serving
Four types of badminton serves include: 1) the high serve to move your opponent to
the back of his or her side of the court; 2) the low serve to make your opponent have
to get under the shuttle; 3) the flick serve that is used occasionally to confuse your
opponent who thinks you are going to hit a low serve; 4) the drive serve where you hit
the shuttle low, fast and to the rear of the receiver's court as a strategy move that will
result in a missed hit.

Service is among the most basic skill that you need to master in Badminton. Also, you
should ensure to make a legal service otherwise it might lead to penalty points.
There can be 2 types of service in badminton, depending on the landing aim of the
shuttle.
1. High Serve
High serve aims at the back end corner of the opponent’s court. Ideally, a good high
serve results in shuttle dropping steeply downwards at the back end of the court. In
fact, a high serve is presented to opponents having ability to executing a strong smash.
You can always expect a lob or a drop from your opponent as a reply to a properly
executed high serve.
Generally, it is recommended to serve the shuttle to opponent’s backhand area. This
to exploit the weaker backhand that exists in the game of most of the players.
2. Low Serve
Unlike high serve, the low serve aims to the front of the court. The objective is to let
the shuttle fly just above the net landing in the front corner of the court. In this case,
your opponent has the opportunity to dash forward and smash the shuttle to you if the
execution is poor.

Smash is the most potent and powerful stroke in badminton which naturally turns out
to be the most familiar term to all. The shot is basically to hit the shuttle powerfully
towards the opponent’s body or downward on the court. A perfectly executed smash
has no defence. Technically there are 3 types of smashes:
1. Forehand smash - The forehand is an overhead smash which is similar
to the action of throwing a ball. You shouldn’t have a problem playing
this stroke if you can throw a ball well.
2. Backhand smash - This is one of the toughest strokes in badminton,
and even experts’ face difficulty in playing the stroke. Still, it is
important to practice and get the technique to rise in the skill level. To
execute this stroke, getting the backhand grip is extremely important.
Also, it is equally important to return back to stance.
3. Jumping smash - A forehand smash with a timed jump added to it
counts under jumping smash.

TOPIC 4
RULES AND GUIDELINES IN BADMINTON
All of the sports we know has their law/rules and guidelines to be followed. Just like
any other sports, Badminton has its own rules and guidelines too. With this topic, we
are going to learn about the different rules and guidelines for single elimination,
double eliminations, and the general rules and guidelines of Badminton sports.

LESSON PROPER
The Laws of Badminton and Competition Regulations in the BWF Statutes provide
the detail on every aspect of the game of badminton.
Below is a brief overview - simplified rules.
Scoring System
1. A match consists of the best of 3 games of 21 points.
2. Every time there is a serve – there is a point scored.
3. The side winning a rally adds a point to its score.
4. At 20 all, the side which gains a 2 point lead first, wins that game.
5. At 29 all, the side scoring the 30th point wins that game.
6. The side winning a game serves first in the next game.
7. Interval and Change of Ends
8. When the leading score reaches 11 points, players have a 60-second interval.
9. A 2-minute interval between each game is allowed.
10. In the third game, players change ends when the leading score reaches 11
points.
Singles
 At the beginning of the game (0-0) and when the server’s score is even, the
server serves from the right service court. When the server’s score is odd, the
server serves from the left service court.
 If the server wins a rally, the server scores a point and then serves again from
the alternate service court.
 If the receiver wins a rally, the receiver scores a point and becomes the new
server. They serve from the appropriate service court – left if their score is
odd, and right if it is even.

Doubles
 A side has only one ‘set’.
 The service passes consecutively to the players as shown in the diagram.
 At the beginning of the game and when the score is even, the server serves
from the right service court. When it is odd, the server serves from the left
court.
 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.
 The players do not change their respective service courts until they win a point
when their side is serving.
General Rules

 You should not serve until the opponent is ready, but if he/she attempts to
return the serve, he/she is considered ready, and play continues.
 If in serving, you miss the shuttlecock, you may serve again providing your
racquet did not make any contact during the attempt.
 Birdies that hit the net as they cross during play are good and should be
played.
 If in serving, the shuttle touches the net, it is a “let” provided the service is
otherwise good and the birdie is served again.
 Birdies that fall on the line are considered good.

TOPIC 5
TRAINING ACTIVITIES IN BADMINTON
Badminton is an extremely demanding sport. At an elite level, players are often
required to perform at their limits of speed, agility, flexibility, endurance and strength.
On top of all of this, players must maintain a high state of concentration in order to
meet the tactical / mental demands of dealing with their opponents. The varied
potential stresses of competitive play are considerable. It is therefore essential that
everyone involved with the modern game ought to be familiar with the fitness
(physiological) requirements of the game and how ‘Badminton fitness’ can be
enhanced.

LESSON PROPER

PROGRESSION. The whole purpose of good training is to expose the player to


situations where the body’s physical limits are gradually being extended. For
example, an athlete wishing to complete a marathon would have to gradually extend
the distance covered in training sessions. Gradually over a matter of weeks a session
which was hard will become easier and the distance or the intensity (i.e., speed) will
have to be increased for the training programme to continue to be effective in
promoting improved fitness. The same is, of course, true in Badminton. When a given
kind of training is introduced for the first time, it is important that the training is
initially fairly easy for the player to perform. With experience, the training must
‘progress’.

In fitness training, this means that the stimulus to improve fitness is slowly increased
so that fitness improves gradually from one stage to the next. Progression is an
essential element of a successful training programme. Example – off court session to
improve aerobic fitness (low initial fitness level). One session per week • Weeks 1-3.
20 minute continuous jog at an easy pace. Aim: to complete run without stopping •
Weeks 4-6 30 minute continuous jog at easy pace. Aim: as above (but 30min) •
Weeks 7-9 ~ 25 minute run at moderate pace. Aim: same route as week 4-6 but at a
faster pace • Weeks 10-12 35 minute continuous run at similar pace as in weeks 7-9.
This plan shows progression for both the duration and for the intensity of the exercise.

WARM UP & WARM DOWN. Any exercise is a considerable stress on the human
body and the body should be given time to adapt to exercise and also to recover from
exercise. Warm-up and warm-down are similar in principle and similar exercises can
mostly be used for both purposes. Warm-up and warm-down are easily ignored as
they may not appear to have a direct bearing on the training session in hand but both
elements should be part of every training session and time should be allocated (at least
10 minutes each) to allow this to happen.
Warm–down is the opposite of warm–up and is performed after completion of an
exercise session. The purpose of warm down is to maintain a slightly elevated
metabolism which will help to promote recovery from the exercise that has just taken
place. Moderate intensity activity is an excellent way to promote recovery of
previously active muscle so a few minutes jogging is to be recommended after
completion of a session. Like warm-up, this should also be followed by some
stretching. Stretching after exercise is not as common a practice as it should be. This
is a very important way to further promote the recovery from exercise and to help
reduce injury risk.

OFF-Court Trainings
1. Strength Training
The purpose of weight training is usually to increase muscle strength.
In order to achieve successful strength gains, specific muscles must perform
movements while working against a resistance. Weight training is a skill and,
like all skills, development of optimal strength for a player may take a very
long time (often a matter of years). Players should start with light resistances
so that they become skilled at the movements required (qualified instructors
should be used for this purpose). Once a movement is learned (this may take at
least 8-10 sessions), the resistance can be increased so that real strength
development can commence.
2. Speed & Agility Training
Speed and agility are quite closely linked to strength. Speed, in
particular is usually improved when strength and power are enhanced. Both
speed and agility are vital to Badminton performance. A successful player
must move quickly when necessary but changes in direction are equally
important in the game due to the nature of the movements required in a rally.
While some people seem to be naturally fast and agile, these are both skills
that can be acquired. It is important to remember that speed and agility will
not be improved if a player is training while tired. Speed and agility must be
trained when a player is relatively fresh, but after a good warm up.
