Badminton is a racket sport thought to be founded in England. The game was codified in the year 1893 when the Badminton Association of England was formed.

Badminton is a racket (or racquet) sport played by either two opposing players (singles) or two opposing pairs (doubles).
Players at opposite ends of the court aim to hit a shuttlecock, more informally called a shuttle, over the net so that it lands inside the marked boundaries of the court, and aim to prevent their opponents from doing the same.”
