Answer:Badminton is one of the most popular games in the world and has been around for a very long time. Badminton is a game of two or four people. It is played with rackets and a shuttlecock. The game is either one player against one player or a team of two players against another team of two players. Players use rackets to hit a shuttlecock over a net. The shuttlecock is made of duck feathers. Badminton rackets are very light. The weight of badminton rackets is around 100 grams.
The aim of the game is to hit the shuttlecock over the net in a way that the other player or pair cannot hit it back properly before it hits the floor. Every time this is done, the player or pair gets one point. They also get to serve. The first player or pair to reach 21 points wins a game. The winner of the match is the first to win 2 sets.
There are six main shots: the serve, the clear, the drop, the smash, the forehand drive and the backhand drive. The field on which badminton is played is called “court”. The court is the shape of a rectangle and is divided in half by a net. Badminton takes its name from the home of the Duke of Beaufort, Badminton House in Gloucestershire, England where the first game of badminton was played.
Badminton originated in India and then went on to China, Japan and Thailand. British army officers began to play it as a competition in Pune, India where badminton got its first name; Poona. In 1877, the first set of written rules was systematized by the newly formed Bath Badminton Club. The All England Open Badminton Championships, the first badminton competition in the world, was organized in 1899. Badminton became an Olympic sport in the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona. Although badminton originated in England, it is mainly played in countries of Asia such as China, India, Indonesia and the Republic of Korea that now dominates this sport.
This is a very good game for exercise. It is very interesting to play. This game is not only a good exercise, but it also builds up a strong social connection. People often play badminton while they are on a family picnic or on a visit to a farmhouse which makes the fun of the family vacation. It is often played in schools, colleges and many national and international badminton competitions are held.
