Badminton Time!
Story By: Andrew Frinkle
UNNES
Universitas Negeri Semarang
Tara played badminton. It was her favorite sport. Badminton has a lot of the fun and
excitement of hitting back and forth like tennis and volleyball, but it takes finesse and careful
aim. It can be a LOT of fun. If you like ping pong at all, you should definitely give badminton a
shot.
Badminton requires only a net, a racket, and a birdie or
shuttlecock. Unlike other sports that require balls, badminton’s
birdie has a unique shape. It looks like half of a rubber ball attached
to a plastic lace cone. Because of its shape, it flew differently. It
was bottom heavy, so it would sail into the air ball end first, and
then the rubber side of it would fall downward, so you could hit it
with your racket. Badminton rackets are much lighter and smaller
than tennis rackets, although they do look similar.
Badminton is played with as a one-on-one or a two-on-two game, just like tennis. The courts
are
much smaller than tennis, though. A badminton court is about 20 foot by 40 foot, with a 5
foot net splitting it halfway. Badminton is played to a score of 21. You only get points on your
team’s serve. A strange thing about serving is that you’re supposed to switch from the left
side to the right to serve depending on if your current score when serving is even or odd! That’s
different, right? Also, unlike volleyball, you can only touch the birdie once before it goes over
the net. You don’t get 3 hits or touches. It’s very fast back and forth!
Usually you play a set of 3 matches in badminton. You must win by 2 points, too, so if you
get to 21
points and your opponent is at 20, you have to keep going. It’s a very exciting game that will
have lines and work
you on your aim a lot!
