The shuttle’s flight approximates the shape of a hairpin. * Half court Shot - A shot hit low and to midcourt, used effectively in doubles against the up-and-back formation. * Kill - Fast, downward shot that cannot be returned; a "put away." * Let - A legitimate cessation of play to allow a rally to be replayed. * Match - A series of games (at U.S. Olympic Festival-’93 it is three out of five), to determine a winner.

...Badminton is a racquet sport played by either two opposing players (singles) or two opposing pairs (doubles), who take positions on opposite halves of a rectangular court divided by a net. Players score points by striking a shuttlecock with their racquet so that it passes over the net and lands in their opponents' half of the court. Each side may only strike the shuttlecock once before it passes over the net. A rally ends once the shuttlecock has struck the floor, or if a fault has been called by either the umpire or service judge or, in their absence, the offending player, at any time during the rally. The shuttlecock (or shuttle) is a feathered (or, mainly in uncompetitive games, plastic) projectile whose unique aerodynamic properties cause it to fly differently from the balls used in most racquet sports; in particular, the feathers create much higher drag, causing the shuttlecock to decelerate more rapidly than a ball. Shuttlecocks have a much higher top speed, when compared to other racquet sports. Because shuttlecock flight is affected by wind, competitive badminton is played indoors. Badminton is also played outdoors as a casual recreational activity, often as a garden or beach game. Since 1992, badminton has been an Olympic sport with five events: men's and women's singles, men's and women's doubles, and mixed doubles, in which each pair consists of a man and a woman. At high levels of play, especially in singles, the sport demands excellent fitness: players require...

...Funniest Moment It is normal that you almost know everything about your friends. You know her crush, favorite food, artist, song and even her things like clothes, shoes, makeup, gadgets and many other more. You almost know everything about her since you’re always with her. In my part, the funny thing is that I was with my friends that moment. We were sitting in the corridor waiting for our next class. We are all busy doing our things like chatting, reviewing and texting. When the bell rang we are about to enter the room. I was about to stand up when one of my friend, Stephanie, said that “ Uy, yong bag ni Hazel” referring to one of our friend. So thinking that it was hazel’s bag, I was about to carry the bag and give it to hazel because she went to the restroom. But before I was able to pick up the bag, I notice Stephanie is smiling devilishly. So I had the second thought. It was then that Hazel is back, carrying her bag. Then I realize that it was not hazel’s bag after all. It was the bag of the girl sitting beside me. The girl looks at me weirdly. She may have other thought about me picking her bag. I feel ashamed and shocked at the same time, knowing that I might have done such peculiar thing in my life. After realizing the prank that Stephanie has done to me, I ran as fast as I could just to move away from that place. My Family My family is the best that I have. They are my life, my soul and my everything. My mother is the most loving person I have met. My mother is...

...HISTORY The history of the development of modern badminton is a very long and complex one. Below is a brief account of the history of the game. Origins of the Game The sport of badminton has its origins in ancient civilizations in Europe and Asia. The ancient game known as battledore (bat or paddle) and shuttlecock probably originated more than 2000 years ago. In the 1600s Battledore and Shuttlecock was an upper class pastime in England and many European countries. Battledore and Shuttlecock was simply two people hitting a shuttlecock backwards and forwards with a simple bat as many times as they could without allowing it to hit the ground. Badminton House Badminton takes its name from Badminton House - home of the Duke of Beaufort in the English county of Gloucestershire. In 1873, the Duke is credited with bringing a version of the game – Poona - back from India and introducing it to his guests. Getting organised The sport quickly grew in popularity and in 1877 the first set of written rules were devised by the newly formed Bath Badminton Club. The Badminton Federation of England was created 16 years later and in 1899 it organised the first All England Championships. Olympic history Badminton made its debut as a demonstration sport at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich. It was not until the 1992 Games in Barcelona that it was officially included on the Olympic programme, with men’s and women’s singles and doubles events. The mixed doubles event made its debut in...

...The 4 Common stroke in Badminton Badminton offers a wide variety of basic strokes, and players require a high level of skill to perform all of them effectively. All strokes can be played either forehand or backhand. A player's forehand side is the same side as their playing hand: for a right-handed player, the forehand side is their right side and the backhand side is their left side. Forehand strokes are hit with the front of the hand leading (like hitting with the palm), whereas backhand strokes are hit with the back of the hand leading (like hitting with the knuckles). Players frequently play certain strokes on the forehand side with a backhand hitting action, and vice versa. Clear- the shuttle soars high in a high arc and falls into the court behind the opponent. Drop- the shuttle falls gently and just clears the net. Drive- it is a hard stroke hit on a straight line. Smash / kill- it is a hard stroke hit sharply downward. Facilities and Equipments Court- For Singles- 44 feet long and 17 feet wide For Doubles- 44 feet long and 20 feet wide Net- Stretched from post to post, 2 feet and 6 inches in depth, and 5 feet in height from the floor.
