BADMINTON NOTES
Badminton is enjoyed worldwide, and is a very popular international competitions. A form of Badminton with a feathered shuttle was played in 5th century B.C. in China. Modern Badminton derives its name from its introduction in England in the 1873. Badminton was first introduced in America in the 1870’s and became an Olympic sport in 1992. There are many variations on rules and regulations about how to score, serve, and win. The following are adaptations for P.E. class.
Objectives: To score more points than the other team by hitting the shuttle over the net so that the opponents cannot return the ball or prevent it from hitting the ground in their court. A match is the best of three or best of five games. Games can either be played to 11, 15, or 21. In class, we will play games to 15, win by 2. If the score reaches 15-all, then the game continues until one side gains a two point lead (such as 14-12), up to a maximum of 20 points (20-19 is a winning score).
Number of Players: Singles, doubles, mixed doubles, and in P.E. class, triples may be played.
Scoring: Some leagues must serve in order to win a point. In class, a point is scored on every play regardless of who serves. A point is scored when -
• the shuttle lands in bounds on the opponents’ court,
• the opponents are unable to return the shuttle.
• the opponents hit the shuttle out of bounds.
• the opponents commit a fault, or foul.
THE COURT: The net should be 5 feet high. The court for singles is 17 by 44 feet in dimension for singles, and 20 by 44 for doubles. There is a short service line 6.5 feet from the net used to designate where to serve and serving faults. The court is divided into two equal parts by the center line. The boundary lines are considered in bounds.
Badminton Serving Rules:
In some leagues, you may have to use the long service line for doubles, or even the out of bounds line in singles, but P.E. class, we will have to serve behind the short line which is located 6.5 feet from the net. The serve must go over the short serve line on the opponents side or it is considered a fault. As in tennis, badminton service is always done diagonally, e.g. from the right service court to the opponent's left service court. The first serve is always taken from the right court, and subsequent serves are taken from alternating sides.
A serve that strikes the net and lands in the opponent's court is a let serve and is retaken with no points awarded. During service, players must stand in their respective service courts. The receiving player is not permitted to move his/her feet until the badminton shuttle has been struck. The highest part of the serving player's racquet must remain below his/her hand and waistline during service. In other words, only underhanded serves are permitted.
If a let is called, the rally is stopped and replayed with no change to the score. Lets may occur due to some unexpected disturbance such as a shuttlecock landing on court (having been hit there by players on an adjacent court) or in small halls the shuttle may touch an overhead rail which can be classed as a let.
If the receiver is not ready when the service is delivered, a let shall be called; yet if the receiver makes any attempt to return the shuttlecock, he shall be judged to have been ready.
Game Play:
Players win a rally by striking the shuttle over the net and onto the floor within the boundaries of their opponents' court. Players also win a rally if their opponents commit a fault. The most common fault in badminton is when the players fail to return the shuttlecock so that it passes over the net and lands inside their opponents' court, but there are also other ways that players may be faulted. The following information lists some of the more common faults.
Neither the server nor the receiver may lift a foot until the shuttlecock has been struck by the server. The server must also initially hit the base (cork) of the shuttlecock, although he may afterwards also hit the feathers as part of the same stroke. This law was introduced to ban an extremely effective service style known as the S-serve or Sidek serve, which allowed the server to make the shuttlecock spin chaotically in flight. During play, each side may only strike the shuttlecock once before it passes back over the net; but during a single stroke movement, a player may contact a shuttlecock twice (this happens in some sliced shots). A player may not, however, hit the shuttlecock once and then hit it with a new movement, nor may he carry and sling the shuttlecock on his racket.
It is a fault if the shuttlecock hits the ceiling. When defending against a smash, players have three basic options: lift, block, or drive.
In singles, a block to the net is the most common reply.
In doubles, a lift is the safest option but it usually allows the opponents to continue smashing; blocks and drives are counter-attacking strokes, but may be intercepted by the smasher's partner.
Many players use a backhand hitting action for returning smashes on both the forehand and backhand sides, because backhands are more effective than forehands at covering smashes directed to the body.
Forehand and Backhand:
Badminton offers a wide variety of basic strokes, and players require a high level of skill to perform all of them effectively. All strokes can be played either forehand or backhand. A player's forehand side is the same side as his playing hand: for a right-handed player, the forehand side is his right side and the backhand side is his left side. Forehand strokes are hit with the front of the hand leading (like hitting with the palm), whereas backhand strokes are hit with the back of the hand leading (like hitting with the knuckles). Players frequently play certain strokes on the forehand side with a backhand hitting action, and vice-versa.
In the forecourt and midcourt, most strokes can be played equally on either the forehand or backhand side; but in the rearcourt, players will attempt to play as many strokes as possible on their forehands, often preferring to play a round-the-head forehand overhead (a forehand "on the backhand side") rather than attempt a backhand overhead. Playing a backhand overhead has two main disadvantages. First, the player must turn his back to his opponents, restricting his view of them and the court. Second, backhand overheads cannot be hit with as much power as forehands: the hitting action is limited by the shoulder joint, which permits a much greater range of movement for a forehand overhead than for a backhand. The backhand clear is considered by most players and coaches to be the most difficult basic stroke in the game, since precise technique is needed in order to muster enough power for the shuttlecock to travel the full length of the court. For the same reason, backhand smashes tend to be weak.
TERMS:
The backhand is used to return a hit to the weakside of a player, coming across the body and making contact with the palm facing away from the shuttle.
A fault results in a lost serve and a point awarded to the opposition.
The forehand is the most powerful hit in badminton, pulling the racquet from the side across the body with an open hand facing the shuttle.
A hit is any contact by a player with the shuttle. A player may hit the shuttle once during a play.
Lets: If a let is called, the rally is stopped and replayed with no change to the score. Lets may occur due to some unexpected disturbance such as a shuttlecock landing on court (having been hit there by players on an adjacent court) or in small halls the shuttle may touch an overhead rail which can be classed as a let.
A match is won by the team that wins the most games in the match. (2 out of 3, or 3 out of 5)
The short line is a line 6.5 feet from the net on either side. The server must be behind the line and the serve must land over the opposing teams short line or it is a fault.
A smash is a hard-driven ball that is hit in an attempt to score.
A volley is the exchange of hits between the teams. The team that wins the rally gets a point and the serve.
NET PLAY:
· A hit that contacts the net and lands on the opposing teams side counts as a point.
· A hit that contacts the net and lands on your side is a point for the opponent.
· A serve that contacts the net and continues into the opponent’s court is a let.
· A player may not touch the net. The only exceptions are incidental contact by a player’s hair or an insignificant contact by a player not involved in the play.
Currently, the number one singles player and Olympic Champion for Badminton is Taufik Kidayat from Indonesia, while the number one doubles team is Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boon Heong from China. In tennis, the number one males singles player for Tennis is Rafael Nadal and the number one females singles player is Serena Williams.

Comparisons with the game of Tennis.
Badminton is frequently compared to tennis. The following is a list of uncontentious comparisons:
Ø In tennis, the ball may bounce once before the player hits it; in badminton, the rally ends once the shuttlecock touches the floor.
Ø In tennis, the serve is dominant to the extent that the server is expected to win most of his service games; a break of service, where the server loses the game, is of major importance in a match. In badminton, however, the serving side and receiving side have approximately equal opportunity to win the rally.
Ø In tennis, the server is allowed two attempts to make a correct serve; in badminton, the server is allowed only one attempt.
Ø In tennis, a let is played on service if the ball hits the net tape. In badminton, there is no let on service unless the shuttle lands in-bounds over the opposing short line.
Ø The tennis court is larger than the badminton court.
Ø Tennis racquets are about four times heavier than badminton racquets, 10-12 ounces (approximately 284-340 grams) versus 85-93 grams.Tennis balls are more than eleven times heavier than shuttlecocks, 57 grams versus 5 grams.
Ø The fastest recorded tennis stroke is Andy Rodick’s 153 mph (246 km/h) serve; the fastest recorded badminton stroke is Fu Haifeng’s s 206 mph (332 km/h) smash.

their clothing at the end of the period. Students MUST use a lock to secure their school clothes and all
valuables. Locks will be purchased in school during the book sale or during the first day of class. Locks
are $6 each. Failure to remove their clothing at the end of the period will result in the lock being cut off.
It is recommended that students bring a small athletic bag with your gym clothes and sneakers to store
in your daily school locker during the day and bring it down to the gym locker room for class along with
your lock. At the end of class, your gym bag must be returned to your school locker.
3. Appropriate clothing for participation:
A. NO SNEAKERS = 0 POINTS FOR THE DAY. Sneakers with laces tied.
You may not participate without sneakers. Athletic sneakers only. NO EXCEPTIONS!
B. Lourdes shorts or sweatpants, shirt or sweatshirt, and athletic socks.

4. Students will be allowed four (4) minutes at the beginning and five (5) minutes at the end of the period
to change their clothing. All students must remain in class until dismissed by their teacher.
5. Attendance will be taken at the beginning of the period in the gymnasium
(4 minutes after the late bell to start class). If a student enters the gymnasium after attendance
has been taken, it is the responsibility of the student to report to their teacher with an admit pass.
Upon re-entry to school after an absence, students are responsible to show a readmit pass to
their teacher.
6. Students unprepared for class are to report to their teacher immediately prior to the bell signaling
the beginning of the class. Those students will remain in class for the duration of the period.
7. Two units of physical education are required for graduation.
Students receive a ½ credit each school year.
8. Failure (overall grade under 65) for the year must be made up in summer school.
9. The criteria for your numerical grade will be based on the following:
A. Participation: 40% B. Preparation: 20% C. Test: 20% D. Skills Assessment: 20%
A. Participation - A student’s daily participation grade will be based on a four point scale. Please refer to
the grading rubric. This category accounts for 40% of your grade for the quarter.
B. Preparation (Preparedness) -A student who is in full compliance of the uniform policy will receive full
credit (4 points) for the class period. For example, if a student forgets a pair of shorts/sweatpants and
shirt/sweatshirt, he will lose two (2) points. Note: NO SHOES – ZERO PREPARATION. If a student
does not have the proper athletic shoes, the student will not be able to participate in the assigned activity
and will receive no credit for preparation and not be allowed to participate in that days activities. At the
conclusion of the unit, the number of points earned will be divided by the total possible points earned.
This category accounts for 20% of your grade for the quarter.
C. Knowledge Test -The student will be tested on the rules of the game and class rules on the activity.
The test will be based on unit notes. This category accounts for 20% of your grade for the quarter.
D. Skills Assessment – Physical Education is a skill based class. Skill assessment will be evaluated
using authentic assessment based on the New York State Physical Education Profile. During the
different sports units, several skills will be assessed based upon the students grade level. The skills
will be introduced by the teacher. A rubric will be used to assess the given skills. The students will be
responsible for practicing, improving, and using the assigned skill.
This category will account for 20% of your grade for the quarter.
10. MAKE-UP WORK:
Those excused for medical reasons will have activity modified to allow them to participate or
a written assignment will be given. The student is responsible for every gym class in a quarter.
Failure to participate due to a doctor’s note will require the following:
A. If excused for one day -If a student is excused from home or through the school nurse, a note must be
given to the school nurse before school and the student will be excused from participation. As a result,
the student must hand in a WRITTEN summary of a health or fitness article. For this assignment, the
student must select and read an article found on the school website (www.ollchs.org). Then, the
student must write a hand written two page essay on the article providing both a summary and critique.
The essay should include who, what, where, when, and how in the paper. The article is due BY THE
FIRST GYM CLASS AFTER THEIR RETURN. Any student who fails to turn in their
assignment will lose credit for the class missed.
B. If excused for extended period -The student must write a paper on the activity they are missing. For
example, if you are missing the volleyball unit, you need to write a 6-8 page (HAND WRITTEN) essay on
the history of the game, as well as all other relative information regarding the sport. Assignment is due by
the last day of the unit (just prior to the end of the quarter). The student will receive a numerical grade
based on the quality of the paper. Failure to hand in the assignment will result in a zero.
NOTE: If the student is out for an extended period, but not the entire quarter, the student has the option of
writing the essay or handing in one article for each class missed. IF THE STUDENT DOES NOT
PARTICIPATE THE ENTIRE QUARTER, YOUR GRADE IS BASED 50% ON THE KNOWLEDGE TEST
AND 50% ON THE PAPER.
11. No student is allowed to bring in books during gym class, unless the student is on medical excuse.
There are no drinks or food allowed in the gymnasium! Any inappropriate behavior or failure to comply
with the above requirements and guidelines can result in detention or demerits.
