Badminton - Answer-is a game that somewhat resembles tennis and volleyball and
involves the use of a net, lightweight rackets, and a shuttle, a cork ball filled with
stabilizing feathers. It is played by two or four players, either indoors or outdoors, on a
marked-out area 44 feet long by 20 feet wide for the four players. The players hit the
shuttle back and forth over the net with rackets.
History - Answer-Badminton is said to have been played centuries ago in China; the
earliest written records of the game date back to the twelfth century. However, the game
that we know today as badminton was first played in England in 1873 by soldiers
returning from military service in India. There the game was called "poona."
In 1903, the first international badminton competition was played in Ireland. The
International Badminton Federation (IBF) was founded in 1934. The IBF claims that
today, more than 53 countries participate in international badminton competitions.
Badminton is not just a local or national activity. It is an Olympic sport.

scores a point and the same server serves again from the alternate service court. If the
receiving side wins the rally, the receiving side scores a point. The receiving side
becomes the new serving side. The players do not change their respective service
courts until they win a point when their side is serving.
