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" (with one player per side) and
"doubles" (with two players per side).
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..

SINGLES DOUBLES
There are two types of
shuttlecoks
Plastic shuttlecock Feathered shuttlecock
shuttlecock
the plastic shuttlecock and feathered shuttlecock use 16 feathers per
shuttlecock
Plastic shuttlecocks are far more durable compared to the feathered types
which are commonly used. However, plastic shuttlecocks are only
recommended for beginners who are just starting out. This is because
feathered shuttlecocks are expensive and fray easily especially if the wrong
technique is used. Hence, plastic shuttlecocks are good for beginners to use
for training. Plastic shuttlecocks are usually used by young children who
play badminton for recreation.
Plastic shuttlecocks tend to travel shorter distances as they are heavier.
Hence, they are good for building strength as you make the transition to
feathered shuttlecocks. Most people will progress to using feathered
shuttlecocks as they are used at all competitive tournaments.

History of
badminton
The game of badminton is
thought to be approximately 2000
years old. Early versions were
played in China, Greece, and
India. It strongly resembles a
game called Battledore and
Shuttlecock, which was played by
the British upper class in the 17th
century.
NACI
.
This early version of the game did not use a net, and the goal of the game was to
keep the shuttlecock in the air for as long as possible. British officers posted in India
likely brought the modern game home with them in the 19th century. The first game
of note was played at the country estate of the Duke of Beaufort, which was named
Badminton House
Badminton has a rich history in the United States. The first
badminton club in this country, the Badminton Club of New York, was formed in
1878 and became a weekend meeting place for New York's society leaders.
Badminton's popularity boomed in the 1930s as educational institutions, YMCAs,
and hundreds of newly formed clubs offered badminton instruction. Also spurring
the sport's popularity in the 1930s was the avid playby several Hollywood
personalities including James Cagney, Bette Davis, Boris Karloff, Dick Powell,
Ginger Rogers, Joan Crawford, and Douglas Fairbanks.

The American Badminton Association was organized in 1936 ( it later changed to USBA
in 1978, and then USA Badminton in 1996) when Donald Wilbur, Robert McMillan, and
twins Donald and Phillip Richardson, all of Brookline, Massachusetts, decided to unite
the nation's various badminton groups. Programs from New York, Massachusetts,
Chicago, and the West Coast came together to form one voice and standardized the rules
and regulations of the game. The ABA held its first National Championships in 1937,
and became a member of the International Badminton Federation (IBF) in 1938 and was
world runner-up during this period.
The year 1949 brought the United States its first world champions as David Freeman of
Pasadena, California, won men's singles at the prestigious All-England Championships
(considered the unofficial world championships until 1977 when World Championships
were instituted). Americans Clinton and Patsy Stevens won the All-England mixed
doubles title the same year.
BASILAN
The United States' international success continued and
between 1949 and 1967, the United States won 23 world
individual championships (one men's singles, 12 women's
singles, one men's doubles, eight women's doubles, and one
mixed doubles) and three women's world team
championships. The U.S. men's team was also world runner-
up during this period. Sports Illustrated acknowledged the
United States' badminton success by featuring top male
player Joe Alston on the cover of its March 7, 1955 issue.
The number of U.S. clubs declined slightly in the 1970s;
however, high school and collegiate play expanded. This
period also saw the introduction of lighter metal rackets,
which replaced wooden rackets.
