The playing arena. Battlefield. Proving grounds. All these are equally respectable substitute terms for badminton courts. Reminiscent of an enlarged ping pong table, the badminton court separates the inbounds from the out-of-bounds, it defines which services are legal and which are faults, and it also sets the limits for the player’s world of movement. To put it in the simplest possible terms, one man’s badminton court is another man’s sanctuary.
The badminton court is a rectangular area where the game of badminton takes place. Take note that a badminton court isn’t any “rectangular area”: an effective badminton court is one that is clearly defined by a series of lines indicating out-of-bounds, service fault areas, and more. In addition, these lines must coincide in measurement with the official badminton court dimensions as set by the immediate sports commission authority on the matter.

The badminton court is divided into halves by a special tool called a badminton net. Usually these courts are marked for both doubles and singles play, although official badminton laws only require the court to be marked during singles play. Of course the badminton court is wider for doubles than for singles, but the length of the court remains the same.
The full width of the badminton court is 20 feet (or 6.1 meters). In singles play, this is reduced to 17 feet (or 5.18 meters). The length of the court is 44 feet (or 13.4 meters), and both singles and doubles play share this measure. The service courts are indicated via two center lines drawn across the width of the court, exactly 6.5 feet (or 1.98 meters) from the net at both sides.
