Semester 1 Unit 3 Badminton
History • Badminton is an Olympic Sport with five competitive disciplines: 1.Men’s singles 2.Women’s Singles 3.Men’s doubles 4.Women’s doubles 5.Mixed doubles (men and women play) • Games with a shuttlecock are widely believed to have originated in ancient Greece, about 2000 years ago.
Scoring • Games are played to 21 • Must win best 2 out of 3 games • RALLY SCORING – every point counts • Must win by 2 points • If score remains tied and is at 29-29, then first team to 30 points wins the game.
Service Guidelines • Shuttlecock must be contacted below the waist. • Contacted in the air. Do not bounce. • Feet must be behind the service line. • Shuttlecock must be served diagonally, between the front and back service line. • If a fault occurs, the opposing team gains the point (rally scoring). Short service line Deep service line
Which side do I serve from? • Server alternates side of court after every point. • Always start on the RIGHT side. • When your team score is an EVEN number, one must serve from the RIGHT SIDE. Ex. 2-3, 4-3 • When your team score is an ODD number, one must serve from the LEFT SIDE. Ex. 1-2, 3-3
Basic Rules/Faults • Lines are in • One hit per side • Faults: • Shuttlecock lands out of bounds • Shuttlecock hits someone in the air • Player swings and misses shuttlecock • Illegal serve (ex. Overhand, above waist) • Service lands in wrong service court • Contact is made on the other side of the net with the shuttlecock • Player hits the shuttlecock with their racket over the net on their opponent’s side. • Shuttlecock lands in the net • Player touches net with body or racket • Shuttlecock is held on the racket (carry) • Shuttlecock is hit twice in the air
Terms • Let- when the serve hits the net and lands in the appropriate service court, redo of service with no points factoring in on the score • Rally Scoring- every point counts • Shuttlecock- A lightweight conical object with a rounded often rubber covered nose.
Types of shots • Forehand- hit with the front of the hand leading (like hitting with the palm) • Backhand- hit with the back of the hand leading (hitting with the knuckles) • Clear- hitting the shuttle high and to the back of the opponent’s court • Backhand Clear - The most difficult stroke because it must be carried out precisely, hitting the shuttlecock high and to the back of the court.
Types of shots cont… • Drive- travels flat and rapidly over the net in the opponents’ rear mid-court and rear court • Drop- a soft hit that barely goes over the net in the short court • Smash- hitting downward and hoping for a weak reply • Jump Smash – player jumps upward for a steeper angle • Backhand smash – a weak downward hit
