First of all, before I’m tell my badminton traning story in school, I would like to you about badminton. Badminton is a racket sport played by either two opposing players or two opposing pairs. Playing badminton should have these basic equipment:


1. Badminton racket 2. Shuttlecock 3. Badminton Sport Shoes
















4. And play badminton at badminton court



















Badminton court
The court is rectangular and divided into halves by a net. Courts are usually marked for both singles and doubles play, although the laws permit a court to be marked for singles only.The full width of the court is 6.1 metres and in singles this width is reduced to 5.18 metres. The full length of the court is 13.4 metres. The service courts are marked by a centre line dividing the width of the court, by a short service line at a distance of 1.98 metres from the net, and by the outer side and back boundaries. The net is 1.55 metres high at the edges and 1.524 metres high in the centre.







Shuttlecock
The ordinary shuttle contains 14 to 16 feathers, secured with thread. National associations may authorize substitutes, such as plastic, provided they do not materially alter the shuttle's behavior in play. Its mass is 73–85 grains (4.74–5.50 grams). Surprisingly, the shuttle in competition badminton is claimed to be the fastest object in sports.








Racket
Badminton racket are light, with top quality racquets weighing between 79 and 91 grams including the strings. They are composed of many different materials ranging from carbon fibre composite (graphite reinforced plastic) to solid steel, which may be augmented by a variety of materials. Carbon fibre has an excellent strength to weight ratio, is stiff, and gives excellent kinetic energy transfer.





Badminton shoes
Badminton shoes are lightweight with soles of rubber or similar high-grip, non-marking materials. Compared to running shoes, badminton shoes have little lateral support. Badminton shoes will have a very thin sole, lower a person's centre of gravity, and therefore result in fewer injuries. Players should also ensure that they learn safe and proper footwork, with the knee and foot in alignment on all lunges. This is not only a safety concern, as proper footwork is critical in order to move effectively around the court.

Badminton games can played by either two opposing players (singles) or two opposing pairs (doubles or mixed doubles)
