HISTORY OF BADMINTON

Badminton was first called as Poona. It was developed from


a children's game called battledore and shuttlecock. The
object of this game was to see how long a group could
volley the shuttlecock by hitting it with the battledore, or
paddle. This cooperative, non-competitive game was
originally played without a net.
HISTORY OF BADMINTON

.It was in the 1860s, when some British officers in India


who were stationed at 'Kirkee' near the city of 'Poona'
(now known as Pune city) used to play a game which was
very similar to badminton and the games was known as
the 'Poona' game at that time.
HISTORY OF BADMINTON

These soldiers played with Battledores (Paddles) which


was used to hit the shuttlecock and had also added a net
in between the players. When these British soldiers
returned back home at Gloustershire Country in the 1870s,
they continued to play this 'Poona' badminton game.
HISTORY OF BADMINTON

In 1873, the Duke of Beaufort held a lawn party in his county


place, called Badminton. A game of Poona was played on
that day and it became popular among the elite people of
British society. The new party sport became known as "the
Badminton game" and started to grow popular.
HISTORY OF BADMINTON

The year 1877, is of historic significance of badminton, as


the 'Bath Badminton Club', the first badminton club ever,
was formed and also the first official set of rules were
developed.

Facilities
and
Equipment
A. COURT
D. RACKET

C. NET

B. POST E. SHULTTECOCKS
A. COURT
The court is a wooden floor free of obstacles,
and spacious enough.
The size of the court for singles is 12,30 x 5.80
m. The back court is 4.72 m and the front court
is 1.98 m from the net to the end line.For
doubles, the size is 12.30 x 6.00
B. POST
The posts are 1.55m above the court's surface and stay upright even
when the net is stretched.

Regardless of whether singles or doubles is being played, the posts


are situated on the double sidelines. Beyond the sidelines of the court,
the pillars or supports are not permitted to protrude.
As it is not practical to install posts on the sidelines, another method
can be used to mark the location of the sidelines where they pass
beneath the net, such as the use of thin posts or strips of material
40mm wide that are fixed to the sidelines and rise vertically to the net
cord.
C. NET
The Badminton Net is the central gameplay element in a
game of Badminton, requiring players to return the
shuttlecock from one side of the court to the other during the
match. Made taut by the use of weighted tension poles on
the outside edges of the badminton court, the badminton net
is allowed to sag slightly in the center of the span. Unlike
other sport nets that require the poles to be installed
permanently, badminton nets are often mobile and can be
moved and setup quickly when ready for play. Variations of
badminton nets come in polyethylene, nylon, and vinyl.
C. NET
Badminton Nets span the entire 20’ (6.1 m) width
of the court and are placed over the doubles
sidelines, even when singles games are played.
The net has a height of 5’1” (1.55 m) at the edges
and sags slightly at the center resulting in a height
of 5’ (1.52 m). Badminton nets are split into a 1:1
ratio with a 30’ (76 cm) opening below the mesh
and an equal surface above.
D. RACKET

A Badminton Racket is a piece of sports equipment


that has a handled frame with an open hoop with a
network of strings stretched tightly. It is used to strike
a shuttlecock in a Badminton match. Modern rackets
are made of carbon fiber composite, which is stiff, has
a good strength to weight ratio, and gives good
kinetic energy transfer. Prior to the use of carbon fiber
composite, Badminton Rackets were made of wood.
D. RACKET
While a Badminton Racket’s size and shape are limited by
standards, there is a wide variety of racket designs, and
different rackets have playing characteristics that appeal to
different players.
Badminton Rackets have an overall length of 26.18”-26.77”
(665-680 mm), head width from 8.66”-9.06” (220-230 mm),
and a handle diameter of 1” (25.4 mm). The mass of a
modern Badminton Racket is between 2.46-3.35 oz (70-95
g).
E. SHUTTLECOCK
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. Synthetic shuttles are often
used by recreational players to reduce their costs as
feathered shuttles break easily. These nylon shuttles may be
constructed with either natural cork or synthetic foam base
and a plastic skirt.
E. SHUTTLECOCK
Badminton rules also provide for testing a shuttlecock for the
correct speed:
1.To test a shuttlecock, hit a full underhand stroke that makes
contact with the shuttlecock over the back boundary line. The
shuttlecock shall be hit at an upward angle and in a direction
parallel to the sidelines.
2.A shuttlecock of the correct speed will land not less than
530 mm and not more than 990 mm short of the other back
boundary line..
