1. **The Court**: Badminton is played on a rectangular court divided by a net. 
Make sure you know the dimensions!
2. **Serving**: The serve must be executed underhand, and the shuttlecock must be hit below the waist. Always serve from the right side when the score is even! 
3. **Scoring System**: Matches are typically played to 21 points, and you must win by at least 2 points. Keep your eyes on the prize! 
4. **Faults**: Be aware of common faults: hitting the shuttlecock out of bounds, not clearing the net, or serving incorrectly. 
5. **Rally Play**: Both players or teams take turns hitting the shuttlecock back and forth. The objective? Keep it off the ground! 
6. **Signalling**: Use clear signals for calling the shuttlecock “in” or “out” to avoid confusion during play.
