Racquet net game
Badminton is a racket sport in which players hit a feathered shuttlecock back and forth over a high net.
Unlike tennis, the shuttlecock must not touch the ground—points are won when one side fails to return it.
The game can be played as singles or doubles, indoors or out: We set up a badminton net in the backyard.
