Badminton - Stirling
Badminton's beginnings go back more than 2,000 years where
a form of the game was played in Ancient Greece.
In England, the sport had its origins in a medieval children's
game called battledore and shuttlecock in which paddles
(battledores) where used to keep a cork stuffed with feathers (the
shuttlecock) in the air.
The modern game of badminton, named by the Duke of Beaufort
after Badminton House in Gloucestershire, began in the 19th
century.
The first set of rules and regulations were published in 1893 by
the Badminton Association of England and the All England Open
Badminton Championships began six years later.
