Since 1992, badminton has been an.: men's and women's singles, men's and women's doubles, and mixed doubles, in which each pair is a man and a woman. At high levels of play, the sport demands excellent fitness: players require aerobic stamina, agility, strength, speed and precision. It is also requiring a good technical sport and the development of sophisticated racquet movements.
Badminton features one player opposing another or competing pairs. The game is played on a surface called a court. The size of the court is 44 feet long X 17 feet wide for a single's match and 4 feet long X 20 feet wide for a double's match. The net is supposed to be 5 feet 1 inch on the edges and 5 feet in the centre. The object is to hit the bird or shuttlecock past the opponent so it lands on the court, or to get the opposition to make a mistake and hit the shuttlecock into the net or outside the court. A match is the best of three games, played to 21 points.
Badminton is the fastest-racquet sport and is also considered to be the world's #2 most played sport behind soccer. There are regional tournaments and leagues throughout much of Asia and Europe, as well as countless people playing in schools, gyms, or clubs.
Professional badminton, although thought by many to be non-existent, has all the characteristics that make a sport popular. The stereotype that badminton is an unbearably slow sport with little action could not be more wrong. Badminton is in fact the world's fastest racket sport, even more so than the most popular racket sport, tennis.
