Badminton/ Majik® Smash
History of Game
Badminton was invented 2,000 years ago in ancient Greece and Egypt. Originally,
it was a child's game, called battledore and shuttlecock, and two players hit a
feathered shuttlecock back and forth with small rackets. Badminton became an
official sport at the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, Spain. Today, television
brings the action, excitement, and explosive power of badminton into homes
around the world!
Object of Game
The object of Badminton is to serve and hit the shuttlecock over the net and into
your opponent’s court so well that it cannot be returned. Each Badminton game is
played to 21 points. The first team who wins the best of three games wins the
Badminton match!
