Badminton
Badminton is a fast racket game for two or four players. Players hit a shuttlecock over a net, trying to land it in the other side of the court while keeping the rally going. It can be a casual knockabout or a proper match, depending on the space and the players. The equipment is light and easy to carry, so it suits a garden, a hall or a day out. The rental includes two rackets, shuttlecocks and a net with posts.

How to play
- Set up the net across the middle of the court, with the top about 1.55 m high at the posts and 1.52 m at the centre.
- Split into two sides with one player each for singles or two each for doubles.
- The server stands in the correct service court and hits the shuttle diagonally over the net, below 1.15 m when struck.
- The rally continues until the shuttle lands on the floor or a fault is called.
- The side that wins the rally scores a point and serves next.
- A game is played to 21 points; at 20–20, play continues until one side leads by two, up to 30.
- A match is usually the best of three games.
- Change ends after each game, and serve from the right court when your score is even and the left when it is odd.
