How do you play badminton properly?

Playing badminton follows the same rules as tennis, except that instead of a tennis ball, you use a birdie (which moves much more slowly) and instead of a tennis racket you use a badminton racket (which is pretty much the same thing). You have to hit the birdie so that it goes over the net, but not out of bounds. Simple.

What happens when you get a foul in badminton?

There are three types of fouls in badminton:1. Service fouls- The racquet head (the round part with the strings) must be below your waist when serving- The path of the racquet must swing upwards- The path of the birdie must be going upwards until it reaches the net2. Contact fouls- If the birdie is coming your direction and it hits you on your head, arm, leg, shirt- You can only touch the birdie when you are serving, but when the birdie is in play, only your racquet can touch it- When the birdie is in play, you only have once chance to get the birdie over the net, if you hit it two times, it is a foul3. Net fouls- You and your racquet are not allowed to go over the net when the birdie is in play- You and your racquet are not allowed to touch the net when the birdie is in play
