To start the game, the player must serve the shuttlecock below the waist.
The shuttlecock must travel over the net...

If the shuttlecock is hit onto the lines, this also counts as a point.
The opponent will then try and return the shuttlecock...
...and make you miss returning it back.
This can go back and forth and is known as a rally.
Remember, the aim of the game is to hit the shuttlecock...
...onto your opponents floor,...
...and these are the areas you're aiming for.
