BADMINTON OVERVIEW

Badminton is a sport played with racquets by two opponents or


two opponent pairs on a court that looks like a tennis court.
Players win points when the ball goes over the net and strikes
at the other side of the court close to the opponent. The ball
used in this sport is called a shuttlecock and is not actually a
ball. It has an aerodynamic shape that gives it the properties
and qualities that the whole sport is based on. It has feathers
that create a higher speed causing it to be very affected by the
wind. This is why competitive matches or matches of high
importance are usually played indoors. Badminton is an
Olympic sport and it requires physical strength and high
techniques.
Origin of the Game

The sport of badminton has its origins


in ancient civilizations in Europe and
Asia.  The ancient game known as
battledore (bat or paddle) and
shuttlecock probably originated more
than 2000 years ago.
In the 1600s Battledore and Shuttlecock
was an upper class pastime in England
and many European countries.
Battledore and Shuttlecock was simply
two people hitting a shuttlecock
backwards and forwards with a simple
bat as many times as they could without
allowing it to hit the ground.
