At the start of the rally, the server and receiver stand in diagonally opposite service courts. A legal serve must be hit diagonally over the net and across the court.
A badminton serve must be hit underarm and below the server's waist height with the racquet shaft pointing downwards, the shuttlecock is not allowed to bounce. After a point is won, the players will move to the opposite serving stations for the next point. The rules do not allow second serves. During a point a player can return the shuttlecock from inside and outside of the court. A player is not able to touch the net with any part of their body or racket.
A player must not deliberately distract their opponent. A player is not able to hit the shuttlecock twice. A 'let' may be called by the referee if an unforeseen or accidental issue arises.
And to do that, you must decide which player will serve first. At professional matches, a neutral third-party often tosses a coin. Other times, a player will simply throw the shuttle into the air; the player it points toward upon landing will serve first, making this method a bit like spin-the-bottle for badminton. The official Badminton World Federation manual features several pages of rules. For most players, a few basics will suffice. Rule No. Every serve will result in a point, and the first person or team to reach 21 points will win the game.
Players then compete again to win the best two out of three. This scoring system seems easy enough, but there's a catch: You must establish a two-point lead to take the game.
For example, if you have 21 points and your opponent has 20, you can't declare victory. This means that players occasionally rack up more than 21 points so the leader can gain a two-point advantage. Even so, the first player to reach 30 always wins even if it's only a one-point lead.
You'll also need to know where to stand when you serve. There are service courts outlined within the larger court, and whether the server stands in the right or the left service box depends on whether the score is even or odd.
For example, if the score is an even number, a player will deliver a serve from the service box on the right side of the court to the opposing player in the left court. If the score is an odd number, the player will switch to the left service box. Scoring in doubles is similar, and this tri-fold tip may help you stay in the correct position: When you serve, the service court you stand in will be dictated by the score even or odd.
If you win the rally, you serve again -- but from the other side of your court. Once you have a clear understanding of the rules under your belt, it's time to perfect your tactics , including the three most popular forehand shots outlined on the next page.
The first time I went miniature golfing , I lined up the ball, gripped the club -- and sent the pitted orb flying across the street. Turns out, there should have been a little finesse involved. The same is true of badminton.
Becoming a force to be reckoned with on the badminton court requires mastery, not brute strength, and these three forehand shots are a good place to start. You'll also want understand the moves that could put you at fault, which means you either lose the serve or lose a point.
Here are some common mistakes:. It seems like there's a lot to learn, but people have been playing backyard badminton for centuries. Before long, you may feel like a pro, too, if only at your family reunions. In my extended family, every reunion includes two things: lots and lots of food, followed by a rousing sports match that usually ends in accidental injury. My nephew sported stitches after standing too close to his sister's golf swing; my sister-in-law fractured a wrist after an unfortunate flag football takedown; my daughter flew off her horse during an impromptu polo match and we collectively discovered that tennis racquets can't stand up to hedge-apple volleys.
Badminton, however, is another story. Give us a hastily strung net and a feather-tipped birdie and you'll see soaring, yet pain-free competition. Fantasy football, however, may be another matter entirely. Sign up for our Newsletter! Mobile Newsletter banner close. Mobile Newsletter chat close.

But it would also be appropriate to mention here that some muscles have a more critical role to play than others. These include the triceps when it comes to hitting the shuttlecock.
Badminton is a sport that requires running and moving almost continuously in court. When we prepare to hit the shuttlecock, amongst other things, we need to bend the elbow to a suitable distance.
Without this, it will not be possible for the racquet to touch the shuttlecock. For ensuring that the bending movement happens correctly, the Biceps Brachii is considered to be the most important. This works as an agonist muscle or a muscle whose contraction helps in moving a part of the body directly. In this situation, the triceps brachii has an essential and significant role to play. It plays the role of an antagonist, and it does by adjusting the speed at which the elbow bends.
Without this happening, it would be challenging to maintain the minimum balance that is required. When we move into an attacking posture, we would have to straighten the elbow so that we can hit the shuttlecock powerfully and correctly. When this happens, we need to keep a few things in mind. Now the triceps brachii becomes the agonist muscles. The contraction of these muscles aids in moving the forearm away from the body to complete the lunging forward and arm-straightening movement.
On the other hand, the biceps brachii now becomes the antagonist muscle, and it acts in unison with the agonist muscle. There is no doubt that badminton requires regular use of the smash as a stunning, surprising and devastating attack shot.
