Badminton Set with Red Rackets and Shuttlecocks

Play badminton in the garden, at a campsite, during a sports day or with a larger group. This badminton set from Discountershop is available with different quantities of rackets and shuttlecocks. Choose a small set for two players or a larger option for families, schools, clubs, youth groups and recreational tournaments.

The red badminton rackets are made from metal and plastic and measure approximately 67 cm long and 20 cm wide. Their recognisable red design helps you keep the rackets together. Every option includes shuttlecocks, with the exact quantity determined by your chosen set.

Choose the correct number of rackets and shuttlecocks

The “pieces” option in the selection menu refers to the number of badminton rackets. The quantity of included shuttlecocks differs per option. Check the breakdown below before ordering to ensure the set suits your number of players and planned activity.

Each option contains:

• 2 pieces: 2 badminton rackets and 2 shuttlecocks
• 4 pieces: 4 badminton rackets and 6 shuttlecocks

• 12 pieces: 12 badminton rackets and 18 shuttlecocks

A badminton match requires two or four rackets, depending on whether you play singles or doubles. Larger sets allow several players to rotate, use multiple courts or keep spare rackets ready.

Badminton rackets for recreational play

This badminton racket set is intended for recreational matches and casual practice. Use the rackets for a relaxed game in the garden, on a playing field or at a campsite. Their metal and plastic construction suits recurring leisure activities.

A badminton net is not listed as part of this set. You can practise rallies without a net or combine the rackets with a separately purchased badminton net for clearly divided sides and a set net height.

For gardens, camping and holidays

Badminton requires little preparation. Choose a level area with sufficient open space, distribute the rackets and start playing. This makes the game a practical activity for garden parties, family days, camping holidays, picnics and afternoons in the park.

Use the set for:

• Badminton in the back garden
• Recreational games at a campsite
• Singles between two players
• Doubles with four players
• School sports and activity days
• Holiday park activities
• Neighbourhood events and family gatherings
• Youth clubs and after-school activities
• Beginner badminton practice
• Informal badminton tournaments

When playing outdoors, choose a day with little wind where possible. Shuttlecocks are lightweight and may change direction in strong wind. Stay away from roads, windows, tent lines, garden furniture and other obstacles.

Large badminton set for schools and groups

The options with 8, 12, 16 or 20 rackets are practical when several participants play simultaneously or take turns. Divide players into pairs or teams and keep additional rackets ready for substitutes. Extra shuttlecocks reduce interruptions when one leaves the playing area.

For a sports day, organise activities such as:

• Keeping the shuttlecock in the air for as long as possible
• Controlled rallies between two players
• Serving towards marked target areas
• Singles with an agreed scoring system
• Doubles with two-player teams
• Short matches using a rotation system
• Relay races carrying a shuttlecock on the racket

Check all rackets and shuttlecocks before each activity. Explain how much space players need and agree that nobody should walk through an active playing area.

How to start playing badminton

Hold the racket with a relaxed grip and strike the shuttlecock using a controlled movement. Beginners can start by gently hitting it back and forth. Once rallies become consistent, increase the distance between players or introduce a net.

Under standard scoring, a player or team wins a rally when the shuttlecock lands inside the opponent’s court or the opponent makes a fault. For recreational play, adjust the court dimensions and scoring system to suit the available space and players’ abilities.

Maintain enough distance between simultaneous matches. Badminton rackets have long shafts and move quickly during a stroke. Adequate space around each player helps prevent contact with other rackets or bystanders.

Which set suits your activity?

Choose the 2-piece option for two regular players or casual rallies. Four rackets support doubles, family games or two pairs. For parties, school lessons and group activities, the 8- to 20-racket options provide more flexibility.

Consider:

• The total number of participants
• Whether you will play singles or doubles
• How many players will be active simultaneously
• The required number of spare rackets
• The number of available playing areas
• The duration of the activity
• How frequently the set will be used

A smaller option may be sufficient when players take turns. Choose a larger set when several matches need to run simultaneously.

Safety information

Only use the badminton set in an open playing area with adequate distance between players and bystanders. Before playing, check for sharp edges, loose parts, bent frames and damaged strings.

Observe these precautions:

• Do not swing a racket while someone is standing nearby
• Never deliberately aim a stroke at another person’s face
• Do not walk through another active court
• Keep away from traffic, windows and breakable objects
• Do not use the rackets to strike balls or other objects
• Stop using a damaged racket or shuttlecock
• Supervise young children during play
• Pick up loose shuttlecocks to reduce tripping hazards
• Do not play during thunderstorms or strong winds
• Keep the set away from very young children when stored

Care and storage

Wipe the handles and frames with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use. Let the rackets dry completely before storage. Keep them indoors in a dry location, away from prolonged sunlight, rain and heat sources.

Do not place heavy objects on top of the rackets. Check the strings regularly and remove damaged shuttlecocks from play. Store all shuttlecocks with the selected racket set, making it easier to check that the equipment is complete before the next game.

Frequently asked questions

How many rackets do you need for singles and doubles?

Singles requires two badminton rackets, one for each player. Doubles requires four rackets. Choose additional rackets for group activities when multiple matches will take place simultaneously or participants regularly rotate.

Which outdoor surfaces are suitable for badminton?

A level lawn, sports field or other even surface with sufficient open space works for recreational badminton. Avoid holes, loose stones, wet ground and obstacles that could cause players to slip or trip.

How can you prevent badminton rackets from bending during storage?

Store rackets flat or upright without placing heavy objects on them. Choose a dry indoor location, avoid prolonged heat exposure and ensure the frames are not compressed tightly between other belongings.

When should you replace a badminton shuttlecock?

Replace a shuttlecock when its skirt is severely bent, torn or incomplete, or when its base becomes loose. A damaged shuttlecock may fly unpredictably and unnecessarily disrupt consistent rallies.
