Badminton originated from the children's game of battledore and shuttlecock. It was developed in India in the 1860s by British officers and was originally called "poona". When British soldiers returned home, they introduced the game which became popular among the elite in Britain and was renamed "badminton". The first badminton club was formed in 1877 and standardized rules were developed. The International Badminton Federation was formed in 1934 with 9 founding members. Badminton is played with racquets and a feathered shuttlecock on a marked indoor or outdoor court with a high net, following specific rules, scoring systems and terminology.

2. History of Badminton
• Badminton was first called as Poona.
• It was developed from a children’s game called
battledore and shuttlecock.
• The object of this game was to see how long a group
could volley the shuttlecock by hitting it with the
battledore, or paddle.
• This cooperative, non-competitive game was originally
played without a net.
• It was in the 1860s, when some British officers in India
who were stationed at 'Poona' (now known as Pune
city) used to play a game which was very similar to
badminton and the game was known as the 'Poona'
game at that time

Gloustershire County in the 1870s, they continued
to play this 'Poona' badminton game.
• In 1873, the Duke of Beaufort held a lawn party in
his country place, called Badminton.
• A game of Poona was played on that day and it
became popular among the elite people of British
society. The new party sport became known as "the
Badminton game" and started to grow popular.
