Badminton originated in China and was brought to England in the 1800s, eventually being practiced at Badminton House which is how the sport got its name. It involves hitting a shuttlecock back and forth using rackets while following basic rules like not touching the net or hitting the shuttlecock twice in a row. Players must maintain balanced basic positions and employ different strokes and serves using proper technique while following tactical principles like moving their opponent around the court. Badminton grew slowly in Catalonia but became more popular after being a demonstration sport in the 1988 Olympics and an official sport at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.

one who first gets a difference of 2 points or reaches 30 will win.

7. 3. SERVICE RULES
 If the player with the right to serve has a score of 0, he draws from the
RIGHT to the diagonally opposite area of the other field. Oddly enough, he
will score from the left.
 Before the throw, each player must be in his serve area, with both feet on
the ground and without stepping on the lines.
 No fault if the steering wheel touches the top of the net.
 At the time of pulling the head of the RACKET can not be above the WAIST
or higher than the HAND.
 The steering wheel must reach the service area diagonally opposite from
the opposing field.
 If he lands on the ground outside the area, it is the player's fault that he
pulled.

9. 4. BASIC POSITION

 FEET separated to the width of the shoulders.
 Ready for immediate start:
 Trunk inclined forward.
 Knees slightly bent, with one foot forward.
 The RACKET maintained at the height of the head if the
attitude is offensive and at waist height if it is defensive.

10. DISPLACEMENTS:
 Diagonally, not with the body parallel to the net.
 DO NOT move before opponent strikes

11. 5. STROKES: forehand & backhand.
 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).

12. 6. STROKE’S TECHNIQUE

 DO NOT rush, adopt the correct position.
 Look first at the placement of the opponent.
 At the time of running do not lose sight of the steering wheel.
 DO NOT send the high steering wheel to the middle zone.
 Impact as high as possible (any shot above the net level is potentially
an offensive shot, the shots below are basically defensive).
 REMOVE:
 One foot forward.
 Short and low; Or long and tall.
 To concentrate.
 Drop the flywheel, do not throw it up before striking.

14. 7. TACTICS: basic principles

created the first Catalan badminton club in “la Seu
d'Urgell”.
 The fact that badminton was a demonstration sport at the
Seoul Olympics in 1988 and entered in the official program
