History of Badminton – Guide 

Badminton is a racquet sport played by two opposing players (singles) or two opposing pairs (doubles) on a rectangular court divided by a net. Players score points by hitting the shuttlecock with their racket and landing it in their opponent’s half of the court. Each side may strike the shuttlecock only once. Badminton is also played in the open in the garden or on the beach for fun. In this article we are going to discuss about History of Badminton – Origin, Overview, and Rules of the game and Dimensions of the badminton court.

History and Origin of Badminton

Since 1992, badminton has been an Olympic sport with five types of events—men’s and women’s singles, men’s and women’s doubles, and mixed doubles, with each pair consisting of a man and a woman. At higher levels of play, the sport demands excellent physical fitness—players need to have aerobic capacity, agility, power, speed, and finesse.

The origins and history of badminton can be traced to British India in the mid-19th century, when it was created by British military officers stationed there. Early pictures show the British adding a net to the traditional British game of bat and shuttlecock. This game was especially popular in the British cantonment city of Poona, hence this game is also known as Poonai. Initially, the upper classes preferred to play with balls of wool in windy or wet weather, but shuttlecocks eventually took over. The game was taken to England by returning officials after retirement, where it developed and the rules were drawn up.

The new sport was certainly introduced in 1873 at Badminton House in Gloucestershire, owned by the Duke of Beaufort. Until that time it was known as “the game of badminton” and later the official name of the game became badminton.

Rules of Badminton

In the history books until the year 1887, the Badminton game continued to be played in England under the same rules as those in British India. The Bath Badminton Club standardized the rules and the game was molded according to English ideas. In 1887 the basic rules were made. In 1893, the England Badminton Association published the first set of rules according to these regulations, similar to today’s rules, and on 13 September of that year, badminton officially began at a building called “Dunbar” at 6 Waverley Grove, Portsmouth, England.

In 1899, he also started the All England Open Badminton Championship, which became the world’s first badminton competition. The International Badminton Federation (IBF) was established in 1934 with Canada, Denmark, England, France, the Netherlands, Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland and Wales as its founders. India joined as an associate in 1936.

Its rules originated in England, competitive badminton in Europe has traditionally been dominated by Demark. Indonesia, South Korea and Malaysia are among the countries that have consistently produced world-class players over the past few decades and dominate international competitions, including China, which has been the most dominant in recent years.

Dimensions of the badminton court

The court is rectangular and is divided into two halves by a net. Courts are usually marked for both singles and doubles play, although the rules allow courts to be marked for singles only. Doubles courts are wider than singles courts, but both are the same length. The exception, which often confuses new players, is that the doubles court has a shorter serve-length dimension.

The full width of the court is 6.1 meters (20 ft) and the width of the singles is less than 5.18 meters (17 ft.). The full length of the court is 13.4 meters (44 ft.). The net is 1.55 m (5 ft. 1 in) high at the edges and 1.524 m (5 ft.) high in the middle.

A badminton match once lasted only for 6 minutes

The shortest badminton match ever played was at the 1996 Uber Cup in Hong Kong, lasting six minutes. Ra Kyung-min (South Korea) defeated Julia Mann (England) 11 2 11-1 in that match. The longest match, on the other hand, lasted 124 minutes, and was contested between Peter Rasmussen (Denmark) and Sun Jun (China). Rasmussen won that match 16-17, 18-13, 15-1

Badminton was initially played with the feet of the players.

A game called ti xian ji was originally played by the Chinese, which is the forerunner of badminton. In this game, players use their feet instead of a racket to hit the shuttlecock. The game is still played in China. Some expert says that history of Badminton game belongs to this Chinese game.
