Badminton:

Description:

Badminton is a fast-paced racquet sport played on a rectangular court with a net in the center. It is played either as singles (one player per side) or doubles (two players per side). The objective is to hit the shuttlecock over the net and land it in the opponent's court, scoring points when they fail to return it. It requires agility, speed, and precision. Badminton is popular worldwide and is an Olympic sport. The game is governed by the Badminton World Federation (BWF). It is enjoyed both professionally and recreationally, making it one of the most accessible and engaging sports globally.

The standard court dimensions are 13.4 meters (44 feet) in length and 6.1 meters (20 feet) in width** for doubles matches, while the width is reduced to 5.18 meters (17 feet) for singles. The court is marked with boundary lines for singles and doubles play, along with a center line dividing service areas. The **net is 1.55 meters (5 feet 1 inch) high at the edges and slightly lower in the center. The surface of the court can be made of wood, synthetic materials, or cement.
