Abstract
Scaling equipment and the playing space according to junior badminton players’characteristics and needs is a key aspect to design optimal learning environments. The purpose of the study is to analyze the incidence of reducing the court size (from 13.40 m 5.18 m to 11.88 m 5.18 m)
and net height (from 1.55 m to 1.30 m) for under-11 badminton players on the following technical and tactical variables: (a) service area; (b) stroke e ectiveness; (c) kinds of technical strokes; (d) players’hitting area; (e) shuttle landing area; (f) shuttle flight; and (g) rally length. Twenty-eight badminton
players (mean age of players: 9.81 0.93) were selected and played a badminton competition (B) with the current federative rules and a mini-badminton competition (MB) with the altered net height and court dimensions. The results showed that a lower net height and a shorter court would increase the frequency and variability of strokes and play patterns, introducing quantifiable changes considered beneficial for children in their first stages, both in training and competition.
