Celestial Badminton Academy in Noida First of all, let us talk about the fundamentals of badminton. The sport was born in India — there it is known as Poona — but spread throughout the Western world when British officers in that country observed the game. They were in charge of taking it to England around 1875.
The Duke of Beaufort became interested in this game and began playing it at his estate, Badminton House. It is for this reason that today it is called by that name.
Badminton is played with an elongated and very light racket, with which a "shuttle" or "plume" is hit, which is a type of open cone with feathers and weighs just under six grams.
