LEARN TO PLAY BADMINTON

Author: W. Geetarani Devi, Nirose Kumar Rana

Badminton is a racquet sport played using racquets to hit a shuttlecock across a net. Although it may be played with larger teams, the most common forms of the game are " singles " and " doubles ". Badminton is often played as a casual outdoor activity in a yard or on a beach; formal games are played on a rectangular indoor court. Points are scored by striking the shuttlecock with the racquet and landing it within the opposing side's half of the court. Each side may only strike the shuttlecock once before it passes over the net. The play ends once the shuttlecock has struck the floor or if a fault has been called by the umpire , service judge, or the opposing side .
