Badminton Facts

When the server serves, the shuttlecock must pass over the short service line on the opponents' court or it will count as a fault. If the score reaches 20-all, then the game continues until one side gains a two point lead (such as 24-22), up to a maximum of 30 points (30-29 is a winning score).

At the start of a match, the shuttlecock is cast and where ever the shuttlecock is pointing that side begins or a coin is tossed. The winners of the coin toss may choose whether to serve or receive first, or they may choose which end of the court they wish to occupy. Their opponents make the remaining choice. In less formal settings, the coin toss is often replaced by hitting a shuttlecock into the air: whichever side the corked end points will be the side that serves first.

 

 About Me: Stuart Ingram Badminton Coach


I am a full time, CRB accreditted, qualified Badminton England (Level 2) coach and have been playing badminton for 30 years, up to County standard.

Currently involved in weekly coaching sessions with the Worcestershire Juniors, also working alongside Lorraine Cole (England Under 19s current coach) with the Worcestershire development squad.

I am keen to raise the awareness of badminton; badminton is a sport that can be enjoyed at many levels and unlike some sports a minimum level of fitness is not required to start.  Badminton can be enjoyed by young and old alike...
