Scoring and Gameplay  Points scored by hitting a shuttlecock over the net into the opponent's court.  Each side can only hit the shuttlecock once before it crosses the net. Ending a Rally  Rally ends when the shuttlecock hits the floor.  Rally can also end if a fault is called by the umpire, service judge, or  Introduction The shuttlecock (or shuttle) is a feathered (or, mainly in uncompetitive games, plastic) projectile whose unique aerodynamic properties cause it to fly differently than the balls used in most racquet sports; in particular, the feathers create much higher drag, causing the shuttlecock to decelerate more rapidly than a ball. Shuttlecocks have a much higher top speed, when compared to other racquet sports. Because shuttlecock flight is affected by wind, competitive badminton is played indoors. Badminton is also played outdoors as a casual recreational activity, often as a  Historical Background Battledore and Poona Badminton' in 1972 Munich Olympic Shuttlecock Gloucestershire Games  Historical Background Badminton has its origins in ancient civilizations in Europe and Asia. The ancient game known as battledore (bat or paddle) and shuttlecock originated more than 2000 years ago and was played in ancient Greece, China, and India. Origin of Modern Badminton Historical  Traced back to mid-19th century British India. Background  Created by British military officers stationed there. Development of the Game  Evolved from the traditional English game of battledore and shuttlecock.  A net was added to the game. Early Name  Known as "Poona" or "Poonai" due to its popularity in the British garrison town of Poona. Early Equipment  Woolen balls were used by the upper classes in windy or wet conditions.  Shuttlecocks eventually replaced woolen balls. Introduction to England  The game was brought to England by retired British officers. It became popular at the  Significant Dates 1873 The modern version of badminton is introduced by the Duke of Beaufort in Gloucestershire, England 1877 The Bath Badminton Club formulates new rules for the sport.

Although still available, wood rackets have largely been abandoned due to the availability of lighter, more durable synthetic materials such as carbon fiber, lightweight metal alloys, and ceramics. These are used in most modern badminton rackets today. Parts of a Badminton Racket Frame The body of the racket itself is called the frame. It consists of the head, the stringed area, the throat, the shaft and the handle. According to BWF laws, the length of the frame should be no longer than 680 millimeters or wider than 230 millimeters. The weight of a fully strung frame should be within 80 and 100 grams. Frames can come in different shapes, with larger or smaller sweet spots, and can be more or less flexible, depending on the materials used and their construction.  Parts of a Badminton Racket Head The head of the racket is the ring of material that holds the strings in place. It can be oval or more rounded, and has holes in its perimeter though which the strings are laced. Stringed Area The stringed area is made up of nylon or carbon fiber string that is interwoven to form the face of the racket. Its dimensions, according to BWF rules, must not exceed 280 millimeters in length or 220 millimeters in width. Parts of a Badminton Racket Throat The throat connects the head to the shaft. It may be a separate triangular piece at the base of the head, or may actually be integrated into the head itself. Shaft The shaft is the long rod between the throat and handle. Often made of a composite material such as graphite, the shaft can be stiffer or more flexible based on the needs of the player.  Parts of a Badminton Racket Handle The handle connects to the shaft and is used to hold the racket. The handle is covered with a material called the grip. There are two types of grips: towel grips are good for absorbing moisture, but may need to be changed frequently; synthetic grips are less absorbent but more durable.  Head Band Badminton Wear a Head Band if you wear spectacles. It prevents your lenses from getting wet Accessories and also stops the sweat and hair from getting into your eyes while playing.

Stance - starting position, setting the stage for swift and efficient moves.  Ready Stance Positioning  Step forward with your non-racquet leg, about shoulder-width apart from your racquet leg.  Slightly bend both knees, balancing your weight between both legs. Upper Body Alignment  Bend slightly forward from the hips while keeping your back straight.  Lift your racquet in front of you, slightly above your shoulder, with the head of the racquet above your forehead. 1.The Ready Stance  Raise your non-racquet arm to help  Attack Stance - Used when preparing to attack. Your right hand should be above your shoulders, with your right foot back. This stance helps you rotate your body for power. 2. Attack Stance  Defensive Stance - Used to defend against smashes. Your legs should be parallel with a slight bend, and your racket should be ahead of your body. 3. Defensive Stance B. Grip- Control of rackets and execution of shots through how you hold a badminton racket. 1. Forehand and Backhand Grip  The simplest way to grip your badminton racquet is by imitating a handshake.  Don’t grip too tightly because you need to retain flexibility in your wrist.  it’s recommended to put a wrap around your grip for better comfort and to prevent slipping.  Applicable for both forehand and backhand shots. 1. Forehand and Backhand Grip Forehand Grip: from Fold your thumb slightly. Use your index finger to control the racquet during the stroke. Backhand Grip: Press your thumb against the racquet to control the stroke. Advanced Skill: Maintain a loose grip and practice quick transitions between grips for better performance which enables pros to shift easily from 2. Panhandle Grip Panhandle Grip - Mostly used in doubles, especially for net skills. Your thumb is along side of the grip, with edges clamp between your thumb and fingers. C. Footwork - Refers to the feet movements.  Basic badminton skill that is often overlooked by new players. Proper footwork makes the game easier by covering more ground with less time and energy. Lateral Steps: Best method for moving around the court as it allows allows for quick directional changes while reducing strain on the knees. Practice Benefits: Practicing proper footwork helps in recovering and C. Footwork hitting shuttles more effectively and enhances overall performance in the  Split Step - A crucial footwork technique that allows for quick movement in any direction. Before your opponent hits the shuttlecock, take a small hop, landing with your knees bent and weight on the balls of your feet. This prepares you for explosive movement. 1. Split Step  Lunge - A long step forward, used to reach shots in the front court. Keep your knees bent and maintain balance. 2. Lunge  Chasse - A side step, used for covering the court laterally. Keep your knees bent and maintain balance. 3. Chasse D. Serves - Initial shot of the rally  Low Serve - A serve that lands close to the net, forcing your opponent to move forward. Hit the shuttlecock with a flat trajectory, aiming for the front half of the court. 1. Low Serve  High Serve - A serve that lands near the back of the court, forcing your opponent to move back. Hit the shuttlecock with a high arc, aiming for the back half of the court. 2. High Serve  Flick Serve - A surprise serve that can be tricky for opponents. It appears like a low serve but travels high over the net. 3. Flick Serve  5. Underarm Backhand Serve The underarm backhand serve is the most basic badminton serve that you can practice as a beginner because it gives you easier control in terms of how strong you’ll hit the shuttle and where you will make the shuttle go in terms of height or placement on the court. To start, have a ready stance withyour backhand leg slightly forward with both feet pointing forward. Lift your racket up to so it is parallel to thefloor, with the head parallel to the net and aligned with your shoulder. Using your non-racket hand, hold theshuttle cock by the  5. Underarm Backhand Serve Bend the wrist of your racket hand downward to generate momentum and flick upwards with varying strength depending on how far orhow high you want the shuttle cock to travel. Try to play around with how strong you hit the shuttle and how high you follow through. Try to aim for different spots in the court with this serve and you’ll immediately have the upper hand against your opponents. 4 Basic Strokes Strokes There are 4 basic strokes that every beginner needs to learn. By knowing these, beginners can create good badminton stroke habits, which they can use in the future for more advanced shots like drops, smashes and drives. These are:  Overhead Forehand This is the most common stroke and most beginners are very more comfortable using this especially for stronger strokes. Make sure to have a forehand grip, lift your racket arm up with the racket slightly above your head, and tilt your body to the side of your racket arm with your racket arm behind you. Widen your chest and use your non-racket hand to point at the shuttlecock to aim. Straighten out your racket arm then swing it towards the shuttle in a downward motion while slightly rotating your waist towards the front. Swing the racket until it’s pointing slightly downwards.  Overhead Backhand The overhead backhand is slightly more difficult for beginners as you’ll have to face your body backward to use this effectively. This is a slightly advanced shot that is hard to master at first but doing so will set good foundations to how you play badminton. To start, turn your body to the back in the direction of your non-racket arm, with your racket arm raised in front of you and pointing towards the back. Keep your racket-arm close to your body, bent such that your elbow is pointing down. As the shuttle approaches above your head level, slightly tilt your arm downward to gain momentum then swing up and flick your wrist upward until the racket is pointing up and your arm is straightened out. Remember  Underarm Forehand The underarm forehand allows you to hit low shots with a lot of strength, but it is quite challenging to aim at first. To do this, from your ready stance, lunge forward with your racket-leg and keep your racket arm slightly bent with the top of the racket’s head slightly below shoulder level. Straighten your arm out to make the racket tilt backwards then flick your wrist, followed by your arm, to swing forward when hitting the shuttle. Bend your body forward  Underarm Backhand The underarm backhand is actually easier to do than the overhead counterpart since you won’t need to turn backwards. Lunging towards your backhand area, Bend your racket arm downward with the racket handle parallel to the floor and the racket head parallel to your body. Flick your wrist upward, followed by your arm until your arm is  Basic Badminton Shots  Drop shot - A short shot that lands just over the net, catching your opponent off guard. It's a good way to gain an attacking position 1. Drop Shot  Clear - A high overhand shot that sends the shuttlecock from one end of the court to the other. It's a fundamental shot for pushing your opponent back. 2. Clear Shot  The serve is the most S important shot in badminton E and a fundamental shot in your R badminton skill. A good serve V will put you in a strong E position. It has two types: forehand and backhand serve. C Its importance is L overlooked as it rarely E scores. Its main aim is to give you time to recover A for your next shot. R  Lift - A defensive shot that sends the shuttlecock high and deep into the opponent's court. It's a good way to buy time to recover your position. 5. Lift  Lobbing is mainly used as L a defensive shot. When O you’re out of position, hit B the high clear/lob to ‘buy’ yourself time to recover. Make sure you have a variation of shots in your D games. Drop shots are R perfect to variate the pace O of the rally. It is a shot that P lands between the service line and net.  Smash - A powerful overhead shot that aims to hit the shuttlecock forcefully down into the opponent's court. It's the most effective way to win a point. Smash S Rallies are often put away with the M smash. It is the most powerful shot A in badminton. it uses the energy S from your whole body. You should H I get the shuttle as close to the net N as possible and make sure to aim G at the floor away from your opponent to garner a point. N E Dominate the front area T of the court by having P good net playing skills. L A Y  Drive - A flat shot that travels fast and low over the net. It's a good way to keep your opponent on the defensive. Drive D R An aggressive shot used I to pressure your V opponent into making E mistakes. “Learn the badminton shots to diversify your game. From powerful smashes to delicate drop shots: each serves a specific purpose on the court.” REPORTERS:  Sibbaluca, Giselle D.  Flores, Clement P.  Calata, Jayver  Marciano, Ana Marie  Daniel, Bryan  Castro, Genny G.  Dalafu, Ivy  Tulugan, Jeric A.  Aragon, Jhay Mark  Germinal, Cathelyn Jhay Epiphany THANK YOU!!
