In badminton, how high above the ground is the net positioned at the centre?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 5 feet.
In badminton, the net is positioned at a height of 1.524 meters (5 feet) at the centre of the court. At the posts, which are placed at the doubles sidelines, the net height is slightly higher at 1.55 meters (5 feet 1 inch). The net is made of fine cord and must be tight and straight across the court, with a white tape on top. This height ensures a fair challenge for both low and high shots, making net play a critical skill in badminton. The standard net height is the same for both singles and doubles matches.
