P a g e | 11  | MODULE 2 BADMINTON Badminton is a court game that can be played either singles or doubles, by men, women, or mixed pairs, either indoors or on outdoor courts, as a fun game or at a highly competitive level. The history of the development of modern badminton is a very long and complex one. The following accounts for the history of the game. HISTORY AND ORIGIN OF BADMINTON Badminton originated from the ancient civilizations of Europe and Asia. Badminton is an ancient game known as Battledore (bat or paddle and Shuttlecock probably originated more than 2000 years ago In the 1600s, Battledore and Shuttlecock was an upper-class pastime in England and many European countries Battledore and Shuttlecock was simply played by two people hitting a shuttlecock backwards and forwards with a simple bat as many times as they could without allowing it to hit the ground. HISTORY AND ORIGIN OF BADMINTON In the 1800s, in India, a contemporary form of badminton - a game called Poona, was played where a net was introduced and players hit the shuttlecock across the net. British officers in the mid 1800's took this game back to England, and 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. Then, the first All England' Championships were held the following year Denmark, USA and Canada became ardent followers of the game during the 1990s. P a g e | 12  | MODULE 2 IBF ESTABLISHED IN 1934 In 1934, the International Badminton Federation was formed with the initial members including England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland, Denmark. Holland, Canada, New Zealand and France India joined as an affiliate in 1936. The first major IBF tournament was the Thomas Cup (the world men's team championships) in 1948. Since then, the number of world events has increased with the addition of the Uber Cup (women's team), World Championships (individual events), Sudirman Cup (mixed team), World Junior Championships and the World Grand Prix Finals COMMONWEALTH GAMES SPORT - 1966 Badminton was introduced as a Commonwealth Games program sport in Kingston Jamaica in 1966, and has been part of every Commonwealth Games program since then. Initially, all five disciplines were included - singles (men, women), doubles (men, women), and mixed doubles with the Teams Event included in the program in later Commonwealth Games. OLYMPIC GAMES SPORT - 1992 Badminton was a demonstration sport in Munich in 1972. Then, in 1992, Badminton became an Olympic sport in Barcelona, Spain, with the introduction of singles and doubles disciplines. In Atlanta in 1996, Badminton was included and as the only mixed doubles event in all of the Olympic sports. Indeed, Badminton is a relatively new Olympic Games sport Only five countries have won the gold medals since its introduction in 1992 - China (8), Indonesia (5), Korea (5), Malaysia (+), and Denmark (1). P a g e | 13  | MODULE 2 Having competed in the Olympic Games for forty years, Indonesia has finally triumphed. Susi Susanti is Indonesia's first medalist in the women's singles in Barcelona, while, Alan Budi Kusama won the second medal in the men's badminton singles. FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT 1. Racket - Badminton racket is quite light and can be made of wood, aluminum, metal or synthetic materials such as graphite or carbon A synthetic racket is quite popular now because of its extreme lightness and strength A badminton racket weighs roughly 98-100 grams (31/2 oz.), and is 68 cm in length The section of the Badminton Racket: P a g e | 14  | MODULE 2 a. Stringed Area - is intended to hit the shuttle. It is of uniform pattern and does not exceed 280mm (11 in.) in length and 220mm. (85/8 in.) in width. b. Head - bounds the stringed area. c. Throat - (if present) connects the shaft to the head. d. Shaft - connects the handle to the head. e. Ferrule - firmly connects the shaft and the handle. f. Handle - is intended for a player's grip. g. Butt - is located at the tip of the handle. h. Frame - includes head, the throat, shaft, and the handle. It is no more than 680mm (2ft2 % in.) or wider than 230(9 in.). 2. Shuttlecock - is the official name given to the shuttle or bird. It is made up of 16 goose feathers and is firmly fixed in leather covered cork head. It weights from 4.7+-5.50g (75-85 grains) it may be made of feathers, plastic or nylon. a. Feathered Shuttle - consists of 16 goose feathers. Its length is 62-70mm. (2 %-2 %). It must be fastened firmly with thread or other suitable materials. b. Cork or Base - shall be 25mm.-28mm. in diameter, and is rounded on the bottom. P a g e | 15  | MODULE 2 3. Court - although courts can be set outdoors, competitive badminton is generally played indoor where the wind and other elements will not affect the shuttle. The official badminton court is 20 ft wide, while the singles court is 17 ft wide. Backcourt also called rear court. The backcourt is 8 ft. of the court, including the back alley. Baseline also called the backline; back boundary line at each end of the end of the court parallel to the net and the doubles long service line. Long service line, in singles, the back-boundary line (baseline); in doubles, the line 2 % ft. inside the back-boundary line. Any serve landing behind this line is out. The Mid-Court - the middle third of the court from the short service line to the back third, a distance of about 7 % ft. Service-Court - area into where the service must be declined. A service may be made to the right or left service court depending on the score. Short service line - the line 6 ft. from and parallel to the net. A serve must land on or behind it to be legal. P a g e | 16  | MODULE 2 SERVING COURT-SINGLES The serving court for doubles is bound by the short service line the centerline, the doubles sideline and the long service line The server must stand within this court, with his feet not touching any lines. The server must serve diagonally over the net into his opponent's doubles service court in order to have a legal serve. SERVING COURT-SINGLES The serving court for doubles is bound by the short service line, the centerline, the doubles sideline and the long service line. The server must stand within this court, with his feet not touching any lines. The server must serve diagonally over the net into his opponent's doubles service court in order to have a legal serve. P a g e | 17  | MODULE 2 The area from the net to the short service line is known as the "forecourt". From the short Service line to, roughly, the doubles long service line is the "mid-court," and the remainder to the back-boundary line is called the rear court." In doubles, the spaces between the parallel sidelines, between the parallel doubles’ sidelines, between the parallel doubles long service line, and the back-boundary line are known as "tramlines." The spaces at the rear court in the corners between the sidelines are the back boxes. 4. Posts - the posts should stand 1.55m (5 ft. 1 in.) in height from the surface of the court They must be placed on the doubles’ sidelines. For singles as well as for doubles, they must also be firm to take the necessary tension when the net is strained across to its full height. There should be no gap between the post and the net through which a shuttle could pass. This can be ensured by the use of hooks down the inside of the ports and a draw-cord along bottom of the net. P a g e | 18  | MODULE 2 5. At all times this should be strained tightly so that its height from the floor is 1:524m (5 ft.) in the center and 155 (5 ft 1 in.) at the post. A measuring rod, 1.524m (5 ft.) long, should be kept by the umpire’s chair to facilitate regular testing to ensure that the net is still at its correct central height and has not sagged.
