Badminton

Badminton is one of the oldest games in the world, it originated two thousand years ago in ancient Greece, China, Japan, India. A similar game was played in ancient Rus.

Modern badminton is of Indian origin, its official birth date in Europe is 1872 when the Duke of Beaufort brought racquets and shuttlecocks back home from India and invited his friends ‘to play badminton’ in his Gloucestershire residence called Badminton House, which is how this thrilling sport got the name used today.

Laws of badminton
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 that is 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. Read more
