Fundamental Skills & Rules in Badminton
Badminton is a fairly easy game to learn and fun to play casually and
competitively. Basic badminton skills include learning how you hold the racket,
serve the shuttle and move your feet. You can practice drills to improve your game.
Rules and scoring are established for singles and doubles games.
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.
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.
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.
Scoring
Simple badminton rules include a scoring system where you play until you
score 21 points. Three games constitute a match. A point is scored each time there
is a serve and the side that wins the rally scores the point. You have to win by at
least 2 points unless the game reaches 29 and there is still not a winner. The first
side to score 30 points wins. If you win a game you will serve first in the next game.
Singles
To begin a singles game of badminton you will serve from the right side of
the court. After the initial serve, the position depends on the server's score. If your
score is even, you serve from the right and if it is odd you serve from the left. In
addition, if the server wins the rally he will continue to serve, and if the receiver
wins, the next serve goes to the receiver.
Doubles
In doubles play, serving goes back and forth between partners. The serving
side is the same as in singles play in terms of even score serves from right and odd
score from left. The serving partner alternates court sides if she continues to score

during a rally and will serve until a rally is lost. When the serve comes back to the
team the partner will serve next.
Single Badminton Rules
A singles match in badminton features one player on each side of the net. You'll get
more of a cardiovascular workout in a singles game than in a game of doubles, because you
are responsible for the entire side of your court. The Badminton World Federation, based in
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, writes and regularly updates the formal Laws of Badminton, which
govern all official international competitions.
Match
A badminton match consists of a best two-out-of-three game series. The BWF
requires players to win a game by a margin of two points. Play each game to 21
points unless, without a two-point margin, the score reaches 29-all. At 29-all you
only need a one-point margin, meaning the first player to reach 30 points is the
winner.
Serving
The service line for a singles game is the back line of the court. The serve --
not to be executed until both players indicate they are ready -- must be
underhanded and completed behind the service line. In singles, a player serves
from the right service court diagonally over the net to his opponent’s right service
court when the server has a score of zero or an even number. When the server has
scored an odd number of points, she serves from her left service court into her
opponent’s left service court.
Court
During a rally, a player can hit the shuttle from any position on his side of the
net. The singles sidelines indicate your left and right boundary. The singles lines are
18 inches closer to the middle of the court than the doubles lines. A rally ends when
the shuttle touches the playing surface in bounds or a fault is committed. In
between games and after the first player scores 11 points in the third game, change
ends with your opponent.
Points
When the server wins the rally, he scores a point, retains the serve and
moves to the alternate service court to serve again. When the receiver wins the
rally, she earns the serve, but may or may not gain a point depending on the set of
rules in use. In official BWF play, the receiver scores points. However, in classic-
rules badminton, used at some college recreational programs, only the server can
earn points.
Faults
In official BWF games, faults result in a point for your opponent and you must
surrender the serve. Swinging at, but missing, the shuttle on the serve is a fault; as
is hitting the shuttle so it passes underneath, rather than over, the net. You can also
receive a fault when you hit the shuttle out of bounds or for touching the shuttle
with your body or clothing.

Double's Rules for Badminton
Doubles badminton is played with four players, or two on each side of the net. Unlike
singles badminton, the boundaries of a doubles game are marked by the outer lines of the
court. The one exception to this rule is that the server uses the inner back line. The net on a
doubles badminton court is set at 5 feet high. Rules for doubles badminton play are set by
the International Badminton Federation.
Service
Before each doubles match begins, service is determined by the flip of a coin.
The International Badminton Federation, or IBF, states that service for doubles
always takes place in the right service court. The team that serves is known as the
server and the other team is known as the receiver. The receiver in the court that is
diagonally across from the server must return the shuttle. After the initial serve is
returned, play continues with any player hitting the shuttle from any court. Serving
alternates between the right and left courts as long as the initial server wins points,
according to the Iowa State University Recreation Services. Once the serving team
loses a point, the serve is won by the other team. When the first team wins the
serve again, the second player on the first team now serves.
General Play
After the serve has been returned, either doubles partner can return the
shuttle from any position on the badminton court, according to the IBF. Shuttles that
land on the boundary lines are considered inbounds. The shuttle is considered
"good" and play is continued even when it touches the net but still passes over to
the other side. Shuttles that touch the ground in between plays are faults and can
cause the serving team to win points. Each doubles team--but only one player per
team-- can only hit the shuttle once before it passes over the net.
Scoring
Badminton doubles games are played until one team wins the game with 11
points. The serving team can win points; the other team must wait until they win
the serve in order to score. Unlike some other racket sports, gaining a two-point
lead in order to win the game is not necessary in doubles badminton.
The different types of badminton shots and when
to use them
https://youtu.be/wIuICzbCZgM
After mastering your badminton footwork, it's time to learn the different types of
shots and when best to use them. Before we begin, it is good to understand the difference
between a shot and a stroke.
Badminton Shots vs Badminton Strokes
While many may be confused with the difference in a shot and stroke, a
badminton stroke is the swinging motion performed before you take a shot. In a
PE 3-MODULE 5 MR.

nutshell, the strokes you execute are fundamental in producing a good shot in a
game of badminton.
As a beginner, do not rush into learning all the different types of badminton
shots. Learn and practice till you’re good with one then move on to learn new types
of shots.
All shots in badminton can be classified broadly into either offensive or
defensive shots. Here are some of the most popular ones.
Defensive badminton shots
The Clear Shot
https://youtu.be/S2brZPqx288
Also known as lobbing, the clear shot is the most important badminton shot
especially in a Singles Game. It is commonly used when you need to buy more time
for yourself to return to base before the next return. It is also strategic to use when
your opponent is near to the fore-court, forcing him to retract to the back to retrieve
the shuttle. If the clear sends the shuttle right to your opponent’s baseline, it’s
considered a good defensive clear.
In this stroke, contact the shuttlecock around the middle of your racket head.
The aim of the clear shot is to cause the shuttle to go up high in the air and land at
your opponent's backcourt.
The clear shot is one of the easiest badminton techniques; beginners should
aim to master the Defensive Clear Shot to play longer rallies against your
opponents.
The Drive Shot
https://youtu.be/SoRIxfSVQpk
The drive shot is a basic flat shot, directly hit over the net. It is a powerful,
quick counter-attacking shot that is easy to execute. If the shot is played correctly,
it will force your opponent to hit an upward return, giving you opportunities to
counter-attack. It is widely used in a Doubles Game as players would like to keep
the shuttle low.
The Drive Shot can be played both on the forehand or backhand. To execute
the shot, your racket should be held with the head facing straight ahead locking
your wrist as the shuttle comes in contact with your racket.
PE 3-MODULE 5 MR.

The aim is to deliver a flat and fast drive to get the shuttle behind your
opponent causing them to make a weak return. Although sometimes it can be
strategic to aim the shot at your opponent who will be unable to react or shift his
body in time as their natural reaction will be to duck the shot.
Offensive badminton shots
The Drop Shot
https://youtu.be/EVvSIlcbm2U
The drop shot is best used when the shuttle is heading towards you in the
first half of your court. To perform this stroke, the player must hit the shuttlecock
downwards towards the opponent's fore-court, aiming for it to go just over the net.
There are two types of drop shots, Fast Drop Shot: where the shuttlecock travels
down steeply and lands further away from the net, Slow Drop Shot: the shuttle does
not travel down steeply but lands nearer to the net.
When executing a drop shot, you want to make it look like a drive, but
instead, you only use a little force to push the shuttle over the net. This shot is
strategic to use when the opponent is near to the backcourt, anticipating your
stroke to be a clear or drive.
For more advanced play, if you are in the mid-court, you can try slicing the
shuttlecock so it will bounce nicely over the net. If the opponent is in the backcourt,
this shot will make the opponent dash forward.
The closer the shuttle drops to the net, the harder it is to return. However, it
also becomes riskier for you as it may not cross the net and cost you the rally.
The main objective of the drop shot is to force your opponent out of his
position or the variate the pace of the game.
The Smash Shot
https://youtu.be/HS3x2lX0Uao
The badminton smash is considered the most powerful shot in badminton and
is usually played on the forehand. It is often difficult to return because of the pace
and the downward angle of the shot, think of it as a downwards drive. It is best used
when the shuttle is high in the air so that it can be angled downwards.
When the shuttle comes in from a high angle, it will allow you enough time to
arch and get in position to strike. At the highest point of contact, with a flick of the
wrist aim the shuttle downwards in a steep gradient.
You ideally want to aim for spots furthest from your opponent, but another
tactic is to aim it towards his upper torso, making it hard for him to defend.

Tips on improving your smash shot
Raise your non-racket arm to aim for the shuttle before you execute the smash.
When you extend your arm to reach out for the smash, make sure you fully utilise
your thumb, wrist, forearm and shoulders.
Hit the shuttlecock when it is at the highest point, this creates a steep angle for
your smash.
Take a deep breath and exhale as you swing your racket forward. Remember to
follow through and complete the swing to give your smash more power.
There are other types of shots in badminton like the more advanced spinning shots,
lifts and net kills. But the shots mentioned above are the core shots you should first
learn to master.
Lastly, it is always important to disguise your shots so it will not become too
easy for your opponent to predict. For example, your offensive shots should look
like either a drive or a drop shot until the very last second. This will make it hard for
your opponent to react.

1. Shuttlecock Scoop
https://youtu.be/rnJUW2BeAJs
Racket’s angle against the floor should be about 45 degrees or less (almost
horizontal) to the floor for easy pick up. Racket and shuttlecock should
constantly touch each other.
PE 3-MODULE 5 MR.
NORTHERN ILOILO STATE UNIVERSITY
AJUY CAMPUS
Lastly simply twist the racket by moving your fingers slightly, in a swift
motion, scoop up the shuttlecocks. Ideally, the shuttlecock should be able to
roll and land onto your racket head.
2. Shuttlecock Bounce
