Ball Badminton
Ball badminton is a team game and a type of racket sport, that is played in India. Ball badminton is played using a yellow ball made of wool, rather than a shuttlecock as in badminton.
Ball badminton is played on a court, which is around 12 by 24 meters, divided by a net. Ball badminton can either be played outdoors or indoors.
Games are played between two teams, usually with five players per team. There are also doubles and mixed doubles versions. In these formats, two players from each team participate.

When the team reaches the 18th, 15th, and 22nd point, the teams change positions, but the server will continue to change between the right and left courts. In “fives” tournaments, a team can have eight formally designated players, and any of the five can plays. In doubles, the team use three players. Substitutions are allowed at any time.
