Badminton is an exciting and fast-paced racquet sport that combines agility, speed, and strategy. Played either indoors or outdoors, it’s perfect for family fun, social events, or competitive matches.

How it’s played: The game begins with a serve, where the shuttlecock must be hit over the net into the opponent's side of the court. Players or teams then take turns hitting the shuttlecock back and forth, aiming to make it land in the opponent’s side of the court. Points are scored when the shuttlecock hits the floor or ground on the opponent’s side. The game continues until one side reaches the set number of points, typically 21.
Benefits: Improves hand-eye coordination, reaction time, and endurance while offering a fun, challenging experience for all ages and skill levels.

Badminton is a fantastic way to stay active, enjoy friendly competition, and develop fitness. Start playing badminton today and enjoy the thrill of the game!
