Badminton is a racquet sport played between two opposing players or pairs on a rectangular court divided by a net. Players score points by hitting a shuttlecock with their racquet so that it passes over the net and lands in their opponent's side of the court. Each side can only hit the shuttlecock once before it passes over the net. A rally ends when the shuttlecock hits the floor or a fault is called.
![Badminton Court
ï‚— The court is rectangular and divided into halves by a net.
Courts are usually marked for both singles and doubles play,
although badminton rules permit a court to be marked for
singles only.[10] The doubles court is wider than the singles
court, but both are of same length. The exception, which
often causes confusion to newer players, is that the doubles
court has a shorter serve-length dimension. The full width
of the court is 6.1 metres (20 ft), and in singles this width is
reduced to 5.18 metres (17 ft). The full length of the court
is 13.4 metres (44 ft). The service courts are marked by a
centre line dividing the width of the court, by a short
service line at a distance of 1.98 metres (6 ft 6 inch) from
the net, and by the outer side and back boundaries. In
doubles, the service court is also marked by a long service
line, which is 0.76 metres (2 ft 6 inch) from the back](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/sportsassignment-150426104402-conversion-gate02/85/Sports-assignment-5-320.jpg)
![What is serving ?
ï‚— Each game is played to 21 points, with players scoring a point whenever
they win a rally regardless of whether they served [10] (this differs from
the old system where players could only win a point on their serve and
each game was played to 15 points). A match is the best of three games.
At the start of the rally, the server and receiver stand in diagonally
opposite service courts (see court dimensions). The server hits the
shuttlecock so that it would land in the receiver's service court. This is
similar to tennis, except that a badminton serve must be hit below waist
height and with the racquet shaft pointing downwards, the shuttlecock is
not allowed to bounce and in badminton, the players stand inside their
service courts unlike tennis. When the serving side loses a rally, the
serve immediately passes to their opponent(s) (this differs from the old
system where sometimes the serve passes to the doubles partner for
what is known as a "second serve").In singles, the server stands in their
right service court when their score is even, and in her/his left service
court when her/his score is odd. In doubles, if the serving side wins a
rally, the same player continues to serve, but he/she changes service](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/sportsassignment-150426104402-conversion-gate02/85/Sports-assignment-8-320.jpg)

- 2. Badminton ï‚— Badminton is a racquet sport played by either two opposing players (singles) or two opposing pairs (doubles), who take positions on opposite halves of a rectangular court divided by a net. Players score points by striking a shuttlecock with their racquet so that it passes over the net and lands in their opponents' half of the court. Each side may only strike the shuttlecock once before it passes over the net. A rally ends once the shuttlecock has struck the floor, or if a fault has been called by either the umpire or service judge or, in their absence, the offending player, at any time during the rally.
- 3. Badminton Racquets ï‚— These racquets helps us for striking the shuttlecocks . Badminton racquets are lightweight, with top quality racquets weighing between 70 and 95 grams (2.4 to 3.3 ounces) not including grip or strings. They are composed of many different materials ranging from carbon fibre composite to solid steel, Now nanomaterials such as fullerene and carbon nanotubes are added to rackets giving them greater durability. Badminton strings are thin, high performing strings in the
- 4. Badminton Shuttlecocks ï‚— A shuttlecock (often abbreviated to shuttle; also called a birdie) is a high-drag projectile, with an open conical shape: the cone is formed from sixteen overlapping feathers embedded into a rounded cork base. The cork is covered with thin leather or synthetic material. The feathers are brittle; shuttlecocks break easily and often need to be replaced several times during a game. For this reason, synthetic shuttlecocks have been developed that replace the feathers with a plastic skirt. Players often refer to synthetic shuttlecocks as plastics and feathered shuttlecocks as feathers. Most experienced and skillful players greatly prefer feathers, and serious tournaments or leagues are always played using feather

- 7. Badminton shoes ï‚— Badminton shoes are lightweight with soles of rubber or similar high-grip, non-marking materials. Compared to running shoes, badminton shoes have little lateral support. High levels of lateral support are useful for activities where lateral motion is undesirable and unexpected. Badminton, however, requires powerful lateral movements. A highly built-up lateral support will not be able to protect the foot in badminton; instead, it will encourage catastrophic collapse at the point where the shoe's support fails, and the player's ankles are not ready for the sudden loading, which can cause sprains. For this reason, players should choose badminton shoes rather than general trainers or running shoes, because proper badminton shoes will have a very thin sole, lower a person's centre of gravity, and therefore result in
