Article I, sec. 1. Rationale and background

Physical education as an academic discipline and as a profession plays an important role in

human development and continue to expand as a fast rate. By their very nature, physical
education and sports are about participation, inclusion and a sense of belonging, they bring
individuals and communities together, highlighting commonalities and bridging cultural and ethnic
divides. Physical education and sports provide an opportunity to learn skills, discipline, confidence
and leadership and they convey core principles that are important in a democracy, such as
tolerance, cooperation and respect. It teaches the fundamental value of effort and how to manage
essential steps in life such as victory or defeat. For the individual, sports enhance one’s personal
abilities, general health and self-knowledge. On the national level, physical education and sports
contribute to economic and social growth, improve public health, and bring different communities
together. On the global level, if used consistently, physical education and sports can have a long-
lasting positive impact on development, public health, peace and the environment.

Physical education is a life- long process. Every college student must continue his/her
participation in a developmental program of physical activities that are healthful, intellectually
invigorating, morally uplifting, socially significant, culturally enhancing and environmentally
oriented.

Physical Education as an academic discipline is directed towards understanding people,

with particular reference on the ability to move, the ways on how to utilize this ability, and the ways
to which this ability is related to other aspects of functioning as a whole person. Thus, movement
as a dynamic function of man is the area of central concern that gives physical education its
unique identity as an academic discipline.

The general objectives of Physical Education are as follows:

1. To develop the movement potentials of each individual to an optimum level.

2. To develop a basic understanding and appreciation of human movement.
3. To develop and maintain the optimal physical fitness and functionality of the individual.
4. To develop skills, knowledge and attitudes basic to voluntary participation in satisfying,
enjoyable physical activity experience.
5. To develop personally rewarding and socially acceptable behaviors through participation in
varied movement activities for a lifetime.

In the 1971 Physical Education Public Information (PEPI) project of the American
Association for Health, Physical Education, policy makers and funding agencies about the goals
and values of Physical Education, PEPI defined a “physically educated “person as possessing
knowledge and skill concerning his or her body and how it functions. The significance of the
contribution of physical education in the lives of students both youths and adults are highlighted as
follows:

 Physical Education is insurance.

 Physical Education contributes to academic achievement
 Physical Education provides skills and experiences that can last a lifetime.
 Physical Education helps in developing a positive self- image and ability to compete
and cooperate with others.

In addition, Article 1 of the International Charter of Physical Education and Sports,
UNESCO, Paris, 1978 and Recommendation 1, Interdisciplinary Regional Meeting of Experts on
Physical Education, UNESCO, Brisbane, Australia, 1982, states that:
“The practice of Physical Education and Sports is a fundamental right for all.”
“And this right should not be treated as different in principle from the right to adequate food,
shelter and medical care.”

In modern parlance, Physical Education is education through “movement”. Wunderlich (1976)

says of movement:

 It provides sensory data.

 It broadens the perceptive horizon.
 It stimulates the function and structure of bodily organs.
 It is the means by which an individual learns about himself in relation to his ambient
environment.

DEFINITION OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Physical Education is an integral part of the education program which aims to promote
optimum development of an individual physically, mentally, socially and emotionally in the
performance of properly selected physical activities.

GOALS OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION

1. Major Goal of Physical Education – FITNESS is the ability to live a healthy, satisfying, and
useful life.
2. Ultimate Goal of Physical Education – “GOOD LIFE” means that an individual satisfies
his basic needs as physical well-being, love, attention, security and self-respect.

FUNCTIONS OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION

1. Biologic Functions - the enhancement of the individual's growth and development through
body movements.
2. Integrative Functions - personality integration achieved through participation in properly
selected physical education activities.
3. Social Functions - the transmitting of values and standards that are considered consistent
with the needs and ideals of society.

OBJECTIVES OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION

The following objectives of Physical Education are viewed and stated in terms of its
contributions to the outcomes of education which justify its existence in the curriculum.

1. Physical development - through the carefully selected physical education activities, an

individual who participates actively will develop and maintain good health and a high level of
physical fitness. The acquisition of physical skills can motivate an individual to participate
further in physical activities; hence, his growth and development will be enhanced.

XIII. LESSON CONTENT

HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT

A game with a shuttlecock is widely believed to have originated in ancient Greece about 2000
years ago. From there, it spread via the Indo-Greek kingdoms to India and then farther east to
China and Thailand.

In medieval England, a children's game called Battledore and Shuttlecock was popular. Children
would use Battledores (paddles) to hit the shuttlecock up in the air and prevent it from reaching
the ground.

In the 1860’s, British Army officers in India, included a net in the game of Battledore and
Shuttlecock, therefore making it more competitive. The game was known as Poona at that time.
The British Army officers brought this game to England and played it in the estate of the Duke of
Beaufort called "Badminton House". Being not familiar to the game, the Duke of Beaufort's non-
military guests began referring to the game as "The Badminton Game", and thus the game
became known as "Badminton".
Below is a brief overview of the generally acknowledged important highlights of the game's
development.

1877 The Bath Badminton Club, the first badminton club in the world, wrote down
the rules of badminton for the first time.
1893 The Badminton Association of England (BAE) printed and circulated the first
proper set of rules, similar to that of today.

FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT

Court

A badminton court is rectangular, with clearly marked white lines dividing it into different
sections. These different lines define and limit where to serve, where to receive, and up to
where the shuttlecock may drop for a shot to be considered good.

On each doubles sideline is a post, which holds the net firm across the center of the court. The
net is made of dark but clearly visible mesh with a white tape that runs across its top. It
measures 5 feet from the ground at the center, and 5 feet and 1 inch from the ground at the
posts.

Overall Court Dimensions. The

badminton court measures 44 feet long
and 20 feet wide. The lines along these
measurements are the side lines for
doubles and the back boundary line of
the court.

Short Service Line

The Short Service Line is the line 6.5
feet from the line that may be made by
the net if the court is seen from a bird’s
eye view.

Center Line
The Center Line, 10 feet from the side
line for doubles, is the line that runs
from the short service line to the back
boundary line. This delineates the left
from the right service court.

Side Line for Singles

The Side Line for Singles is marked 1
foot 4.5 inches from the edge of the
side line for doubles.

Side Line for Doubles

The outermost line at the side marks
the Side Line for Doubles.

Back Boundary Line and Long

Service Line for Singles
The outermost line at the end of the
court functions as the back boundary
line for singles and doubles and long
service line for singles.

Long Service Line for Doubles

The Long Service Line for Doubles is
marked 2 feet 4.5 inches inside the
back boundary line.

Shuttlecock

A badminton shuttlecock is made of natural or synthetic material, or

a combination of the two. There are 16 feathers that are connected
to the rounded, leather-covered, cork base. All of the feathers are
with the same length, and must be between 64mm and 70mm. The
feather tips form a diameter of 58mm to 68mm. The shuttlecock
weighs about 5g and, consequently, can
travel at a very high speed during play.

Racket

A badminton racket is lightweight and may be made of wood,

aluminum, or synthetic material such as graphite or carbon. The
racket is flat and the strings are crossed in a uniform pattern all over
the head, with no variation. The racket frame cannot be longer than
27.2 inches, and the width of the head should be 9.2 inches or less.
The stringed area may not be more than 11.2 inches long and 8.8
inches wide.

MECHANICS AND RULES OF THE GAME

Badminton is a racket sport for two in singles, or four in doubles. The object of the game
is to get to 21 points with at least a two-point advantage. A point is scored when the shuttlecock
is not properly returned. The match is won by the player or team that wins two games.

Scoring System

Each game is played up to 21 points; the match goes to the side that wins the best of
three games. Each rally won by a side is a point added to its score. If the score is tied at 20, the
side that achieves an advantage of two points wins the game. But, if the score is still tied at 29,
the first side that scores 30 wins the game. The winner in a game serves first in the next game.

Intervals and Change of Ends

Players have a one-minute interval when the leading score reaches 11. In between the
games, players get a two-minute break. Should there be a third game, players change ends
when the leading score reaches 11.

Points in Singles

At the start of each game and when the score is even, the player serves from the right service
court and serves diagonally to the receiver’s box. Same thing happens if the score is odd,
except that the server serves from the left. If the server wins the rally, he gains a point and
serves again, following the odd-even scheme. If the receiver wins the rally, he gains a point and
the service. He then serves from the side of his end as indicated by his score.

Points in Doubles

At the start of each game and when the score is even, the player serves from the right service
court, directing the serve to the diagonal receiver’s box. Same thing happens if the score is odd,
except that the server serves from the left. If the serving team wins the rally, it gains a point and
the server serves again, following the odd-even scheme. If the receiving team wins the rally, it
gains a point and becomes the new serving side. The player on the receiving side who served
last stays in the same service court from where he served last. After the serve is received,
players may already stay anywhere they want according to their strategy.

Faults

A fault results to a loss of point and serve. It is a fault if:

 service is illegal, that is, if:

 shuttlecock is struck above the waist level;
 shuttlecock does not penetrate the correct court;
 racket head is not lower than the serving hand at the instance of the serve;
 server lifts one or both feet during service;
 server drags his foot;
 server feints a serve;
 server misses the shuttlecock in attempting to serve; or
 server steps on the line or stands outside of the proper court during service.

 receiver steps on the line or stands outside of the proper court during service;

 receiver does not keep both of his feet in contact with the correct court during service;

 shuttlecock drops outside the playing area;

 a player contacts the net with any part of his body or his implements;

 a player reaches over the net to hit the shuttle; or

 a player/team hits the shuttle twice in attempting to return.

Lets

A let is a situation that calls for a discontinuity of the rally and therefore, the rally shall be re-
served as no point is gained by either of the players. A let occurs if:

 player delivers the serve before the receiver is ready;

 both the server and the receiver commit faults at the same time;

 the shuttlecock disintegrates during the rally; or

 the shuttlecock is caught by and remains suspended on top of the net.

Officiating

Officials

1. Service Judge. Positioned to the side of court by the net. Make calls on service faults.
(e.g. hitting above, waist height, foot on line, etc.)
2. Line Judge. Sit around court opposite designated lines. Responsible for calling in or out
in open play.
3. Umpire. He is the main official of the game. He ensures that game runs smoothly,
approves change of shuttle and calls net faults. Oversees the game/starts game and
keeps scores. Specifically, he shall:
 uphold and enforce the Laws of badminton and especially, call a ‘fault’ or ‘let’
should either occur;
 give a decision on any appeal regarding a point of dispute, if made before the
next service is delivered;
 ensure players and spectators are kept informed of the progress of the match;
 appoint or remove line judges or a service judge in consultation with the referee;
 where another court official is not appointed, arrange for that official’s duties to
be carried out;
 where an appointed official is unsighted, carry out the official’s duties or play a
‘let’;
 record and report to the referee all matters in relation to law; and
 take to the referee all unsatisfied appeals on questions of law only. (Such
appeals must be made before the next service is delivered or, if at the end of the
game, before the side that appeals has left the court.)
4. Referee. He responsible for competition/event complaints/appeals/disputes.

Calls of the Umpire

An umpire in badminton is responsible for the court and its immediate surroundings, but
ultimately reports to the referee. The jurisdiction of an umpire starts prior to a match as soon as
NVSU-FR-ICD-05-00 (081220) Page 10 of 4

INSTRUCTIONAL MODULE

2022
the umpire steps into the field of play and lasts until the umpire leaves the field of play at the
conclusion of a match.

The responsibilities of an umpire include managing on-court technical officials, tracking

and recording the score, and enforcing that players compete fairly and properly.

Prior to the match, an umpire’s responsibilities include off-court tasks such as securing the
proper number of technical officials and checking the clothing and equipment of the players to
ensure that they meet regulation. On court, the umpire will start with a coin flip to determine the
server and the receiver, and which court each player will play on before starting the timer for the
warm-up.

During the match, the umpire is in charge of tracking and announcing the score, governing the
court to ensure continuous play, prevent misconduct and issue penalties, where appropriate.
The umpire has the unique ability to overrule the calls of other on-court technical officials. The
umpire may also step in to cover the duties of other technical officials if they are absent or
unsighted. Between games, the umpire will call out the winner of games, instruct for the court to
be wiped and time the breaks, otherwise known as intervals.

After the match, the umpire will announce the winning team and deliver the results of the
match, alongside any incidents, to the referee immediately upon the match’s conclusion.

Eight (8) Most Important Responsibilities of an Umpire in Badminton

1. Call Faults

A fault is called in badminton when there is a violation of the playing rules – in serving,
receiving, or during play. The umpire is in charge of calling all of the faults for their court with
the exception of service faults called by the service judge. When a fault is committed, the
umpire shall clearly call “Fault” and award the point to the team which did not commit the
fault.

Common faults in badminton include:

a. A shuttlecock being hit twice in succession by the same player or by the players that
form the same team before the shuttlecock crosses the net.
b. A shuttlecock that touches a player’s racket but does not travel towards the
opponents court.
c. A player invading an opponents’ court either above or below the net in a way that
obstructs or distracts the opponent.

2. Call Lets

A let is called by the umpire to halt play in order to re-start the point. This typically happens
when one side or the other is not ready or if there are unforeseen distractions.

Some of the most common scenarios in which umpires will call a “Let” are:

a. The server serves before the receiver is ready. It is important to note that if the
receiving player makes an attempt at the serve, the rally would be played out as if both
sides were ready.
b. The shuttle is caught on the net and remains suspended on its top. It will only be
considered a let if this occurs after the service. If during the serve, the shuttle is caught
on the net, a point will be awarded to the receiving team.
c. During a rally, a shuttle from outside of the game lands in a way that distracts a
player. Simply having a shuttle enter your court during a rally is not enough for a let to
be called. The shuttle needs to interfere the players in a way that play is disrupted.

2022
d. When all of the technical officials are unsighted for a call. This typically happens
when a line judge does not see whether a shuttle landed in or out for the line they are
managing and the umpire is also unsighted.

3. Approve Shuttlecock Changes

Feathered shuttles, which are used in professional tournaments, are fragile in nature. When
even a single feather is damaged, the flight and stability of the shuttlecock can be severely
altered. When a player or team wishes to change the shuttlecock, they must first show the
feathers of the shuttlecock to the umpire, who will either approve or reject the request. If
approved, the current shuttlecock is brought to the service judge, who will exchange it for a
new one.

While in most cases, both sides in a match are in agreement to change the shuttlecock,
players may use it as a stall tactic during a match – such as taking advantage to regain their
breath, energy or composure. Otherwise, changing shuttles can also be a strategy to disrupt
the flow of opponents who might be having a streak of winning points.

4. Track and Announce the Score of the Game

The umpire will track and announce the score of the game after each and every point. Each
game in the match starts with the umpire calling “Love all, play.” This call indicates that the
score is 0 – 0. The score of the serving team will always be called first. The umpire will use
the term “all” to indicate when the score of both sides are the same (e.g. “one all” or “eleven
all”).

When the first team reaches 20 points, and it is not the deciding game of the match, the
umpire will call “twenty, game point” + the opponents score (e.g. “twenty, game point
eighteen”). If the teams end up in a series of deuces – when the score of each side is the
same – the umpire will continue to apply the rule of calling “game point” after the score if
one of the teams would win the game by winning the current point (e.g. “twenty two, game
point twenty one”). Else, if it is the deciding game of the match, the umpire will replace
“game point” with “match point” (e.g “twenty, match point eighteen” or “twenty two, match
point twenty one”). The only exception is if both sides are tied at 29 all, this will be called as
“twenty nine, game point, all” or “twenty nine, match point, all.”

Regardless of whether a team scores the winning game or match point, the umpire will call
“Game.” Depending on which game of the match was concluded, the umpire will call the
following:
 First game: “Game. First game won by [name of player(s), or Member (in a team tournament)],
… (score).”
 Second game, if not the deciding game: “Game. Second game won by [name of player(s), or
Member (in a team tournament)], … (score); one game all.”
 Third or deciding game: “Game. Match won by [name of player(s), or Member (in a team
tournament)], … (scores of the games.)”

5. Initiate the Coin Flip to Determine the Server and the Receiver

Once the players arrive onto the court, the umpire will engage one player from each team
for the coin flip. The umpire will ask one of the players to call a side of the coin. The player
who wins the coin flip has 4 options across 2 categories (serve or side):

Category: Serve
 Option 1: Serve First
 Option 2: Receive First
Category: Side
 Option 3: Start on Side A, or
 Option 4: Start on Side B

When the team who wins the coin flip chooses their preferred option, their opponents will, by
default, receive the other option in that category. After which, the team who lost the coin flip
will then have first pick between the 2 options in the remaining category (serve or side).

Example 1: If team 1 chooses to serve, team 2 will automatically be the first team to
receive. Team 2 will then be able to choose to start the first game on Side A
or Side B.
Example 2: If team 1 choose to start on Side A, team 2 will automatically start on Side B.
Team 2 will then be able to choose to either start the first game by serving or
receiving.

There are benefits to each option. From the service category, players may excel in serving
or receiving and can choose to capitalize on it. Additionally – at the professional badminton
level – players will also have studied their opponents’ strengths and weaknesses. When
making a choice, players can also base their decision with their knowledge of where their
opponents struggle.

On the other hand, each badminton facility will have nuances which the players need to
adapt to. Each side of the court will have different wind drafts that will alter the flight pattern
of the shuttlecock – this is mainly due to air conditioning and air circulation within the facility.
Choosing the more favorable side from a wind draft perspective can provide a team the
momentum they need in the deciding third game, before the teams must change ends.
Check out the following article from Everything-Badminton.com to learn how best to combat
the disadvantages of an on-court drift: Dealing with a windy court. Other nuisances that
players must adapt to are the lighting on each side of the court and the depth from the end
of a court to the wall, as it can impact perception.

6. Time the Warm-up and Intervals

Warm-ups and intervals, otherwise known as breaks given during and between games, are
timed by the umpire to ensure continuous play within a badminton match.

Warm-up: Immediately after the coin flip and the umpire climbs into his/her chair, a timer for
2 minutes will be started. After 90 seconds, the umpire will call “Ready to play” to instruct the
players to get ready to begin the match. Before the 2 minutes are concluded, the umpire will
announce the match by introducing each of the players, starting with the team on the
umpire’s right side, then the team on the umpire’s left side. The end of the warm-up will be
marked by the calling of “Play.”

Mid-Game Interval: During the game, an interval (or break) is offered as soon as the first
team reaches 11 points. The interval will be announced when the umpire calls “11-[other
team’s score], interval” (e.g. “11-5, interval“). The mid-game interval lasts for 60 seconds,
where after 40 seconds passes, the umpire will call “Court [number], 20 seconds” and
repeat the call. This indicates to the coaches that they must return to their designated chairs
and for the players to return to their rightful positions on the court. The mid-game interval is
concluded by the umpire calling the current score, followed by” Play.”

Between-Game Interval(s): After a game concludes and the umpire calls “Game,” an

interval of 2 minutes will be provided to the players. At this time, the players must move their
equipment from their court-side bins to the respective bins on the other side of the court, as
the players will change ends. At 100 seconds, the umpire will call “Court [number], 20
seconds” and repeat the call. Similarly to the Mid-Game Interval, this indicates to the
coaches that they must return to their designated chairs and for players to assume their
appropriate starting positions. The between-game interval is concluded by the umpire calling
“Second (or Final) game. Love all. Play.”

Third Game Interval: This interval only occurs only during the third game of a match. It is
exactly the same as the mid-game interval in terms of being called when the first side
reaches 11 points and lasts for 60 seconds. At 40 seconds, the umpire will also call “Court

2022
[number], 20 seconds” and repeat the call. The only difference is that during this interval, the
players must again move their equipment from their court-side bins to the respective bins on
the other side of the court, as the players will change ends. The modified call that the umpire
will call is “11-[other team’s score], change ends.” The third game interval will also conclude
with the umpire calling the current score, followed by “Play.”

7. Override the Line Judge when Necessary

An umpire can override a line judge if he/she thinks, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the
call was wrong. In such cases, the umpire will immediately call “Correction”, followed by “In”
or “Out” depending on what they are correcting the call to.

8. Enforce Proper Sportsmanship and Penalize Players for Violations

Common types of misconducts:
a. Deliberately causing delay or suspension of play. This can come in the form of not
being ready to receive, elongated service times, or pacing the court resulting in the delay
of the next point.
b. Completing a match in progress unless reasonably unable to do so. Because there
are requirements for the top ranked players in each discipline to compete in certain
tournaments, players are dissuaded from forfeiting for illegitimate reasons.
c. Intentionally tampering with the shuttle such that it affects the speed or flight. This
can be done through bending or breaking of the feathers on the shuttle.

Process for Handling Misconducts:

a. When a player commits a misconduct for the first time, the umpire will issue that player a
warning. The umpire will call “Come here” to the offending player followed by “[name of
player] warning of misconduct” followed by the specific explanation of the misconduct.
During this time, the umpire will hold a yellow card above his/her head with his/her right
hand.
b. When a player repeats a misconduct for a second time, the umpire will issue that player
a fault. Similarly to the warning, the umpire will call “Come here” to the offending player
followed by “[name of player] fault for misconduct” followed by the specific explanation of
the misconduct. During this time, the umpire will hold a red card above his/her head with
her/her right hand. The referee will be called over and the misconduct that resulted in the
fault will be discussed with the referee.
c. When a referee is called to a court, they may decide to disqualify the offending player(s).
In such cases, the referee will hand a black card to the umpire. The umpire will call
“Come here” to the offending player followed by “[name of player] disqualified for
misconduct” followed by the specific explanation of the misconduct. During this time, the
umpire will hold the black card above his head with his right hand. Immediately after, the
umpire will then announce that the match is won by the team that is not disqualified with
the team’s respective scores.

Badminton Hand Signals

1. Undue delay of serve

When the server takes too much time to serve, or delays

service for undue reasons then it is called a fault.

Even the receiver should be ready for the service and

shouldn’t cause undue delay. The judge will swing their
right arm to the left to indicate that the player has been
penalized.

2. Feet on the service line or even off the ground

When serving, the serve’s feet cannot touch any other

lines of the court and both feet should be firmly on the
ground and not in the air.

The server and receiver both should stand diagonally

opposite each other while at the time of service and
receive and they cannot stand outside the bounds of the
court lines.

3. Service is too high

If the server strikes the shuttle above his waist, it is

called as a fault and the judge will give this hand gesture
to explain why he/she called a fault.

This is one of the most common hand signals you will

see a judge using. This kind of fault occurs quite often in
a match even at the international level.

4. Racket handle should face down while serving

At the time of service, the handle of the racket must be

facing down while hitting the shuttlecock. If it is not
facing down, it calls for a violation of the service rules.

If it is not facing down, it calls for a violation of the

service rules and the service judge will make this gesture
to indicate the same

5. When the shuttle falls outside the lines of the court

When the shuttlecock falls outside the line of the court,

the line’s judge will give an indication to the player as
well as the referee that the shuttle has landed outside.

This is a very common signal seen on TV and even in

other matches. It is also a very important signal as it is
the final decision though it can be reviewed.

6. When the shuttle lands inside the lines of the court

When the shuttle lands inside the court, the line’s judge
give an indication to the player as well as the referee to
show the same.

This is very crucial as the decision of the line’s judge is

the final one with regards to whether the shuttle was in
or out. It is very important that the line’s judge stays alter
and gives the right signal at the right time.

exercises relevant to the development of the skills.

XXII. LESSON CONTENT

FUNDAMENTAL SKILLS

Footwork

Your opponent will do his best to direct every shot away from you and the only way for you to reach
the shuttlecock is for you to have a good footwork. Badminton footwork is the most fundamental
skill that you must have in order for you to get better in your game. Good footwork is simply having
the ability to contact the shuttle early with stability. Almost always, your racket hand and racket foot
should go together as you execute the shot.

Bend your knees a little with your feet shoulder width apart. Position your
racket up in front of you as you put your weight on the balls of your feet. You
should be in this ready position in the center of the midcourt area.

If the shuttlecock is directed to your frontcourt, execute the V-front by taking a

small step first followed by a lunge with your racket leg to reach the
shuttlecock. The timing of the shot will be improved if you land with your racket
leg simultaneously with the shot.

If the shuttlecock is directed to your midcourt, execute the defense side by extending your racket
leg to reach the shuttlecock that is hit towards your racket side. Extend your racket leg and rotate

your hips and shoulders to reach shuttle that is hit towards your non-racket side, making a
backhand stroke, especially for those shots that are considerably far.

If the shuttlecock is directed to your backcourt, execute the V-back

by rotating your hips and shoulders and move back far enough so
that you stay behind the falling shuttlecock. This way, you will have
more options with your shots. If you are too slow in going to the
correct area, you are most likely to respond with a weak shot.

The spots in the diagram show where you should place your left
(dark spots) and right (red spots) feet. The black circle is the base.
Unless you are confident of your opponent’s next shot, try to go
back to your base after you make a shot. Alertness and your ability to react quickly are major
weapons if you are to improve with your game.
C

Conditioning Exercises Relevant to the Development of the Skill

1. Strengthening the thighs and knees (Squats)

To be in a more stable ready position, strong thighs and knees are a requirement. One exercise to
strengthen the thighs and knees is doing squats.

1. Stand straight in an open leg stance but 2. Do the squat. Maintain the straightness of

ground. Never let your knees cross the toe
line. Raise hands in front with elbows bent.
If you find it difficult to maintain balance in
the squat position, raise hands in front with
the arms parallel to the ground.
2. Strengthening the lower extremities

To have a complete coverage of the court, correct footwork is necessary. To have an effective
footwork, strong lower extremities are a requirement. One exercise to strengthen the lower
extremities is doing lunges.

Grip

A correct badminton grip is the groundwork of playing badminton.

Your stroke’s power and accuracy will greatly suffer if you hold your racket wrongly. Your shots will
be limited and you will have less chances of winning. Therefore, a correct grip is a must.
Furthermore, you will need to learn how to change grip very quickly during the rally.

For your grip of the racket to be more comfortable, you may opt for a towel or a rubber grip. Towel
grips absorb sweat better and your grip won’t slip even if it’s already wet. However it turns coarse
as it becomes worn out so you have to replace it more often. Rubber grips provide more cushion for
the hand and is more comfortable. It is more costly though, but you can use it for a longer period of
time. If you have sweaty palms, you may use the towel grip. If you still insist on using rubber grip,
then you may have to wear a wristband.

Serve

Mastering the different Badminton Services is essential if you want to improve your game. Serving
is the start of a point and could give you a win right away. Use it not merely as "just a serve" but a
weapon during games.

Basically, there are four types of serves:

High Serve
The high serve is mostly used in singles in order to force your opponent to move to the backcourt.
To execute this serve, use your forehand grip and stand a few feet behind the service line. Put your
weight on your racket foot and place your non-racket foot forward. Hold the shuttlecock loosely by
the feathers and drop it in front of you as you swing
your racket forward-upward-across, simultaneously
transferring your weight to your non-racket foot. Hit the
shuttlecock with your racket and follow through until
your racket reaches the non-racket side of your head.
Due to the nearness to the back boundary line, many
players hit this serve out. Aim for the ceiling near the
back boundary line to eliminate the chance of a flat
serve. Direct the serve towards the middle of the court

and not at the corners to avoid sharp return angles.
http://www.historyofbadminton.net
Low Serve

Use this badminton serve with a forehand or a backhand to persuade your opponent to lift the
shuttlecock in his return. It is most often used in doubles, but you can also use it in singles
especially if your opponent’s attack is too strong. Mix the low serve occasionally in your singles
game. Your opponent might be caught off-guard if you can do it well.

Flick Serve

A flick serve is executed when an opponent has

momentum and is on the offensive. Wrist action plays a
very important part in the execution of this serve, on
either your forehand or backhand. It is a misleading serve
that gives an idea that you are going to perform a low
serve, but at the last split second you flick your wrist to
force the shuttlecock over. Direct the serve above your
opponent’s backhand out of his reach.

Drive Serve Source:

This serve can be used in singles and doubles with a http://www.historyofbadminton.net
forehand underhand action. Stand in a relaxed but
balanced and controlled position, a bit away from the
service line. Position your non-racket foot near the net
and place your racket foot behind. Position your racket
a little below the waist level and bring it back parallel to
it. Hold the shuttlecock loosely by the feathers and let it
drop slightly to your side. Forcefully swing the racket
forward to hit the shuttlecock and let it pass the net at a
flatter angle. Limit your follow-through as your racket
face stays square with the net. This serve should be Source:

movement for your opponent.

It may give you a point immediately or force a poor return if your opponent is not ready, but make
sure you hit the shuttlecock below your waist to make your service legal.
Coach’s Tip
Whether it is a forehand or a backhand serve, pay attention to your preparation, establish your
stance, hold the shuttlecock comfortably, and give a correct amount of backswing of the racket. A
perfect execution follows a good preparation. Lastly, don’t forget your follow-through to make sure
that the shuttlecock goes to where you want it to go.

SHOTS AND SHOTS SELECTION

There are a variety of types of badminton shots. These shots are executed depending on where the
shuttlecock is in relation to the badminton court. The position of your opponent also plays a big
factor in choosing what shot to execute.

If the shuttlecock drops to the frontcourt, most likely, you would like to hit it with any of these shots:

1. Lift/Underhand Hit the shuttlecock in an upward motion causing it to go high and drop to
Clear the back of the opponent’s end.
2. Net Kill Hit the shuttlecock forcibly at the net area forcing it to dive down fast to
the opponent’s end.

3. Net Shot Gently push the shuttlecock at the net area, causing it to drop
immediately after crossing the net at the opponent’s frontcourt.

If the shuttlecock is directed to the midcourt, most likely, you would like to hit it with any of these
shots:

1. Drive Hit the shuttlecock at net height causing it to travel flat and with sufficient
pace into the opponent’s midcourt to backcourt area.
2. Lift Hit the shuttlecock in an upward motion causing it to go high and drop
into the opponent’s backcourt.
3. Push Hit the shuttlecock softly to moderate pace into the opponent's frontcourt
to midcourt area.
4. Smash Forcefully hit the shuttlecock with an overhead stroke forcing it towards
the opponent’s end to finish the rally.

Overhead shots are the preferred shots that are done at the backcourt. If the shuttlecock is directed
to the backcourt, most likely, you would like to hit it with any of these shots:

1. Clear/Lob Hit the shuttlecock high into the opponent's backcourt.

2. Drop Shot Hit the shuttlecock from backcourt causing it to go down immediately
after crossing over the net into the opponent’s frontcourt.
3. Smash Hit the shuttlecock at high speed towards the opponent's midcourt.
