In anticipation of the start of the “Spartakiad 2020” among foreign Higher Educational Universities in Tashkent

From year to year, more and more students are attracted by such a sport as badminton. Badminton as a sport is attractive primarily due to its spectacular duel between two athletes or two pairs of players on a divided net. The main essence of the badminton - players in their half of the court should not allow the shuttlecock to fall on their court, reflecting the shuttlecock with a racket.
