Shuttlecock Association: 10 Reasons to Celebrate Excellence

In India, the game existed before 1500 B.C. and was called “Poona”. It was named “Poona” because of its region of origin, which was city “Pun”. It is said that “Poona” means “the game of the city Pun”. Initially the game was played with the hand, using him palm as a racquet. Later on, the hands were replaced with the legs, something that made this game popular among Indian men but extremely difficult for the Indian women. Thus, it was separated in a men and a women game. In 1870, British officers that served in India brought with them back to the country the game Poona. Duke of Beaufort, the Father of Badminton, was great supporter of the game, which he played very often. However, this game was quite primitive for the elite of the English society. Thus, he was pleased in playing the woman’s version of the game of Poona with his friends and his daughters in his villa at the village Badminton of Glouschester.
