To play badminton well, you need to master grip, serve, footwork, stance, and strokes.

• Grip: Hold the racket as if greeting someone for forehand shots. For backhand shots, rotate your thumb onto the flat side of the handle.
• Serve: The serve must contact the shuttle below your midsection. Short serves skim the net; long serves arc high toward the baseline.
• Footwork: Good footwork means moving fast while staying centred. Bouncing lightly on both feet lets you spring toward the shuttle.
• Stance: A balanced stance means you can push off quickly. Face the net with your racket up, ready to strike.
• Strokes: Key shots include the clear, drop, smash, and net shot. Adjusting racket face and speed creates different shot trajectories.

These fundamentals unlock everything else in badminton.

Five fundamental rules shape every badminton match: how you score, serve, play rallies, commit faults, and stay in bounds.

• Scoring: Each rally won earns one point, and games go to 21. You must win by two points, with a cap at 30.
• Serving: Your serve has to land in the diagonally opposite area. Keep your feet planted and contact the shuttle beneath midsection.
• One hit per side: You get one touch per side to send it over.
• Faults: Out-of-bounds shots, net errors on serve, and body touches lose you the rally. If you brush the net while the shuttle is live, you lose the point.
• Boundaries: In singles, the court is narrower; in doubles, the full width is used. For serves in doubles, the back tramline is out; in rallies, it is in.

Knowing these rules means you are ready for your first real game.
