I. INTRODUCTION

Badminton is a fast-paced game that requires both strength and speed. It is a

sport that encourages all participants to be active and healthy. Badminton is simple
to play, and all you need is a shuttlecock and two rackets. No matter how old you
are, badminton is an activity that is suitable for people of all ages. Playing badminton
has a number of advantages. To begin with, it allows people to exercise their arms
and legs, making their bodies more agile and flexible. Second, badminton helps
improve blood circulation, which strengthens the heart muscles. Having a stronger
heart will help lower harmful cholesterol which will also lead to a healthy lifestyle. 
Third, you can become friends with several of your opponents, resulting in good
competition. However, we must still exercise caution when playing this game, since
being careless may result in knee joint problems at the time of the intense pressure.

II. MOTIVATION

Group 1 will not be able to provide a creative manner of communicating with

our classmates because we decided to have a pre-recorded presentation. We think,
however, that learning, cognition, creativity, and intellect originate from the entire
body, not just the brain. As a result of this thought, Group 1 choreographed a
badminton dance to entertain and engage our listeners. The basic badminton steps
are included in this dance. As this is a Physical Education subject, we used music
and dance to help our listeners remember what we discussed about badminton
because, according to John Dewey's Learning Pyramid, movement combinations or
learning by doing allows people to remember information for a long period of time.

C. Rules and Regulations in Badminton

The rules of any sport or game define how the activity is carried out, including
how to score points and win a game or match. There is no structure to direct the
players on how to play the sport if there are no regulations. Any sport has its own set
of rules. If you don't follow the rules, you'll be penalized or kicked out, ensuring a
level playing field.

Every tournament of badminton has been regulated by the Badminton World

Federation.
Scoring System
 A match consists of the best of 3 games of 21 points.
 Every time a serve is made, a point is scored.
 A point is added to the score of the team that wins a rally.
 At 20 points all, the team that achieves a two-point advantage first wins the
game.
 At 29 points tied, the team that scores the 30th point wins the game.
 In the following game, the team that wins the previous match serves first.

Interval and Change of Ends

rally. They serve from the left service court if their score is odd, and the right
service court if it is even.

from the alternate service court.
 If the receiving team wins a rally, they are awarded a point. The serving side
is now the receiving side.
 When their side is serving, the players do not switch service courts until they
win a point.

D. Playing Area and the Players

Badminton can either be played indoors or outdoors especially if it’s just for
leisure purposes. However, it is impossible to play competitive badminton matches
outdoors due to several environmental factors.

Court Dimensions

The dimensions of a badminton court are mandated by Badminton World

Federation (BWF) and are universally accepted.

 Full badminton court- 20 ft x 44 ft

  Singles badminton court- 17 ft x 44 ft
Figure 1: Full Badminton Court Area (a designed court for doubles)

Figure 2: Singles Badminton Court Area

TAKE NOTE: All lines in the court are standardized to be 1.57 inches in width.

Lines in the Badminton Court

1. Center line - The center line is a line

that runs parallel to the net and divides
the left and right service courts.
2. Short Service line - The line that a
serve must cross to be legal, which is 6
1/2 feet from the net.
3. Long service line for singles -
Singles matches have a longer service
line, which is 2 feet from the net and
also marks the back boundary.
4. Long service line for doubles - The
line from which serves must be made.
On both sides of the net, the line for
doubles matches is 19 feet.
The Net and the Post

 The Badminton Net is the most important part of a game of badminton

because it requires players to return the shuttlecock from one side of the court
to the other throughout the game. 
 Even when singles games are played, badminton nets span the whole 20' (6.1
m) width of the court and
are placed over the
doubles sidelines. The net
is 5'1" (1.55 m) tall at the
borders and sags slightly
in the middle, resulting in
a height of 5'1" (1.55 m)
(1.52 m). Badminton nets
are split in half, with a 30'
(76 cm) space beneath the netting and an equal surface above.
 The badminton net is linked to posts on the doubles sideline in both singles
and doubles.
 The net should be stretched enough to retain the right height when connected
to the tops of the posts.
 There should be no space between the posts and the net's end.

Players

At any given time, a badminton match can contain two or four players on the
court. There are five different sorts of matches/events in competitive badminton.
They are as follows:

1. Men's Singles
2. Women's Singles
3. Men's Doubles
4. Women's Doubles
5. Mixed Doubles (each team is made up of a man and a woman)

E. Basic Skills in Badminton

I. Service

The Badminton Serve is a big part of the strategy. There are a few different kinds of
serves: the high serve, low serve with your forehand or backhand.

Types of Serve

1. High Serve
 This type of serve is usually executed when you want the shuttle to land at the
back end of the court.
 The high serve is a forceful shuttle hit that seeks to travel a long distance aloft
and land deep in the back end of the court.
  Although it is a powerful serve and a popular choice among beginners, it is
difficult to hide, particularly if you use a forehand grip. The shuttlecock will
very certainly land at the end of the court, as your opponent has already
predicted.

a. Backhand High Serve. It is the trickiest and hardest serve to perfect

without serving in a faulty manner.

b. Forehand High Serve. It is a commonly used serving technique in

singles, especially common in women and kid’s game.

2. Low Serve
 The low serve is used when you want the shuttlecock to land in front of the
court (in front of your opponent).
 This low serve is nearly a light touch over the net with the shuttle, with the
goal of flying just over the net but falling just over his service court's front line.
It can't be too high or predictable, otherwise your opponent will be able to do
an outright smash or net kill.

a. Backhand Low Serve. It is almost a gentle tap over the net with the
shuttle, with the aim of flying just over the net, yet falling just over the
front line of his service court

b. Forehand low serve. It prevents the opponent from playing an

attacking shot and forces him to hit upward.

II. Receiving/Stance

Badminton stance is the way you stand when retrieving certain shots from
your opponent.

Types of Badminton Stance

1. Attacking Stance
 You’ll need to use this stance whenever you hit an overhead forehand stroke

To get into the attacking stance,

- Turn your body facing the side of the court.
- Place your racket leg behind; your non-racket leg forward.
- Both legs should be shoulder width apart.
- Raise your racket and non-racket arm

2. Defensive Stance
 The key to strong defense is to retrieve your opponent’s smash via the
defensive stance.

To get into the defensive stance,

- Face your body to the front of the court.
 - For singles, Place your racket in front of you, around waist height, and
outward a little bit.
- For Doubles, place your racket in front of you and stay flat
- Raise your non-racket arm for better balance.

3. Net Stance
 The net stance enables you to take the shuttle at the highest point when
you’re at the net. When exchanging net shots, every millisecond counts! So
make sure you take the shuttle as early as possible.

To get into the net stance,

- Place your racket foot forward; non-racket foot at the back.
- Place your racket in front of your body, slightly above waist height.
- Raise your non-racket arm for body balance.
- Place your body weight slightly forward and get ready to pounce forward.

4. Clear
 The clear shot is one of the most common strokes used in badminton to hit
the birdie high and deep, preferably all the way to the end line. This should
definitely be used if you need to earn some time to return to the center of the
court by driving your opponent to the rear end of the court. The purpose of the
forehand clear is to force your opponent to the rear court. It can be used as
both an offensive and defensive shot.

Steps in doing CLEAR

- Use a forehand grip and turn sideways with your non-racket foot forward.
- Draw the racket back high and early behind your shoulder.
- Contact the birdie at the highest point above your shoulder, while using the
non-racket arm for counter balance.
- Rotate the shoulders and hips, while following through to the opposite side of
body.

5. Drop
 One of the techniques often used in badminton is the deceptive drop shot.
The aim is to trick your opponent into believing you are going to execute a
clear or a smash, thus luring them out of position and to the end of the
badminton court in anticipating. Then instead of a smash or clear, you
execute a delicate drop shot that instead lands just after the net, throwing
your opponent off balance.

Steps in doing DROP

- To maximize the disguise, the swing should be the same as a clear or smash
shot.
- Begin with a sideways stance, with the racket foot towards the rear of the
court.
- Extend the racket arm and raise the non-racket arm to point at the birdie.
- Contact on top of the birdie and without too much powerful snap the wrist.
- Aim low and right across the net.
6. Drive
 The drive is played from mid-court to mid-court and is a quick, flat, powerful
counter-attacking shot. It can be both a backhanded and forehanded shot.
When it is executed correctly, a player will force their opponent to hit an
upward return.

Steps in doing DRIVE

- Begin with a split step stance, with more weight on the dominant foot.
- Lunge forward towards the flight of the birdie.
- Use a relaxed forehand grip and swing the racket backwards, similar to a
sidearm throwing motion.
- Contact the birdie and use the wrist at the end of the swing for power.
- Follow through to the opposite side of the body.

7. Lift
 The badminton net lift is simply an underarm clear performed VERY CLOSE
to the net. The objective of this shot is to clear the shuttle all the way to your
opponent’s baseline.
 It’s very important that you’re able to perform a good lift because if you don’t
send the shuttle to the very back of the court, your opponent will have the
chance to do a smash from the middle of the court.

8. Smash
 The smash is an offensive shot and considered one of the most powerful in
badminton. It is played at a downward angle, making it difficult for an
opponent to return.

Steps in doing SMASH

- Begin with a wide sideways stance, with the racket foot towards the back line.
- Use a relaxed forehand grip and bring the racket back, similar to a bow and
arrow position. The racket must be facing downwards.
- Follow the flight of the birdie, raise the non-racket arm to point towards it while
simultaneously extending the racket arm backwards to generate power.
- Contact the birdie at its highest point and just in front of the body.
- Follow through in a downwards arc motion and utilize the wrist for more
power.
