BADMINTON
Physical Benefits of Badminton
Playing badminton can improve one's hand-eye coordination, flexibility and balance because of the agility that's required to aim correctly and move to hit the birdie when it comes to your side of the court. It can help to improve cardiovascular endurance, as it is a form of aerobic exercise. You'll be moving quickly on the court, which will get your heart rate up and help you to burn calories!
Other Benefits of Badminton
- Working together as a team helps a player to develop respect for teamwork, and a respect for how each individual works together to form a cohesive unit.
- improves reflexes
- improves perception and coordination of movements
- technicality (awareness for small detail in a set of rules)

Simplified Rules of Badminton (Click)
All games are played to 21. Teams must win by 2 points. First team to earn 30 points, win.
One match = best out of 3 games
*In PE, however, we play for a time limit of 3-5 min. to allow equal time for all students on the court.*
Ready position = Bend legs, be ready to move (especially backward or forward) with racket head UP!
Serving (say the score with your score serving your opponents' score) "1 serving 0 means that your team has 1 point"
- All serves must be underhand (forehand or backhand) and hit under the waist level (racket head must be clearly under server's hand)
- (Middle School is allowed two chances to serve)
- Only switch sides when your team serves successfully and scores a point
(if your opponent serves it unsuccessfully or you win the rally, you earn the point but you don't switch with your partner)
- Even numbered points on the serving side means you serve on the RIGHT
- Odd numbered points on the serving side means you serve on the LEFT
*Don't add the score;
If the score is 9 serving 3, the server is serving on the left.
If the score is 4 serving 5, the server is serving from the right.
You always say your score first!
RALLY SCORING
- Rally Scoring - is a scoring system in which a point is scored on every single rally, regardless of which team is serving the ball/shuttle or birdie. Thus, in rally scoring, points can be scored by either the serving or receiving team
- If the receiving side wins a rally, the receiving side scores a point. The receiving side becomes the new serving side
- If the serving side wins a rally, the serving side scores a point and the same server serves again from the alternate service court. Always serve diagonal of the server in their service area or box.
- If the serve is hit straight and the
* player makes contact, the game is live and must continue
* player does not make contact, the non-serving team will earn a point & serve.

DURING THE GAME
- Ready position is having your legs bent with a staggered stance, have your racket head up and be prepared to move forward/backward or to the sides.
- If the birdie is hit between the two of you, try calling for the birdie or whichever player has the closest racket to the birdie, should hit the birdie.
As you can read below in the rubric, you can read more about the following Skills/shots used in PE
Clear Shot = the birdie lands high and deep in bounds (use when opponents are close to the net)
Drop Shot = contact is a gentle "push" of the birdie and it lands close to the net
Smash Shot = racket face is pointed downward thus hitting the birdie downwards in bounds and if successful, it is unreturnable
ERRORS aka FAULTS
The point goes to the other team if you:
- hit it more than once time on your side
- touch the net with your body or racket
- hit the birdie out of bounds (Middle School is allowed two chances to serve)
