NOTE

RACKET GAMES: BADMINTON

Badminton is a racquet sport played by either two opposing players (singles) or two opposing pairs (doubles), who take positions on opposite halves of a rectangular court divided by a net. The objective is to score points by striking a shuttlecock with a racquet so that it passes over the net and lands in the opponent's half of the court. The shuttlecock can only be struck once by each side before it must pass over the net.

 Basic Skills for Badminton

1. Serving: Initiating play by hitting the shuttlecock over the net from a specific service area. Effective serves can put the opponent at a disadvantage from the start.
2. Forehand and Backhand Strokes: Fundamental racquet skills for hitting the shuttlecock. Forehand strokes are performed with the palm facing forward, while backhand strokes are performed with the back of the hand facing forward.
3. Footwork: Proper movement techniques to reach the shuttlecock efficiently and maintain balance. Good footwork includes quick steps, lunges, and positioning.
4. Smashing: A powerful overhead shot aimed sharply downward into the opponent's court, intended to be difficult to return.
5. Clearing: Hitting the shuttlecock high and deep into the opponent's court to gain time and push the opponent back.
6. Drop Shots: Soft, controlled shots that just clear the net and fall quickly into the opponent's forecourt, forcing them to move forward.

Rules and Regulations in Badminton

1. Scoring System: Matches are typically played best of three games to 21 points. A point is scored on every serve (rally scoring). The side winning a rally adds a point to its score. If the score reaches 20-all, a side must win by two points. If the score reaches 29-all, the next point wins the game.
2. Serving Rules:

   - Singles: The server serves from the right service court when the score is even and from the left service court when the score is odd.

   - Doubles: The server changes service courts with their partner each time they win a point. If the serving side wins a rally, the same player serves again but switches service courts.

   - The shuttlecock must be struck below the waist height and with the racquet shaft pointing downward.

3. Service Area: The shuttlecock must land within the correct service court. In singles, this includes the long and narrow court areas, while in doubles, it includes the short and wide court areas.
4. Faults: Common faults include:

   - The shuttlecock landing outside the boundaries of the court.

   - The shuttlecock passing through or under the net.

   - The shuttlecock touching the ceiling or side walls.

   - The shuttlecock being hit twice by the same player or by partners successively.

   - A player touching the net with the racquet or body during play.

5. Let: A let is called to stop play and replay the point, typically due to unforeseen circumstances like the shuttlecock getting caught in the net after passing over or both players committing faults simultaneously.
