Introduction to Badminton
Badminton is a racquet sport which has been around from the mid-18th century British India, where it was created by British military officers stationed there.
It is also one of the fastest racquet sports. Badminton can be played in 5 categories, which consists of the Men Singles, Men Doubles, Women Singles, Women Doubles, and Mixed Doubles.
There are 2 type of serves for the badminton game :
Forehand Serve
Backhand Serve
Forehand serve used to be more popular during the 90's, but as the game changed from a 15 point system to a 21 point system, Backhand serve has been favoured by most players.
In a 21 point system, players scoring a point whenever they win a rally regardless of whether they served. In the old 15 point system, players could only win a point on their serve.
Rules for both the Singles and Doubles category are different.
For the Singles, the player can serve all the way to the back long service line, but is only able to serve to the inner one of the sidelines.
For Doubles, players are able to serve till the outer sideline, but if during the serve, the shuttle lands beyond the inner long service line, it is considered out and the point would be given to the opposing team.
So pick up your racquets and enjoy playing badminton !!
