badminton

A racket sport played by volleying a shuttlecock back and forth over a high narrow net with a long-handled badminton racket.

Players score points by landing the shuttlecock on the opponent's half of the court. Each side may only strike the shuttlecock once before it passes over the net. A rally ends once the shuttlecock hits the floor.
