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

• Grip: The forehand grip is like shaking hands with the racket handle. The backhand grip places your thumb against the handle for extra push.
• Serve: A legal serve must strike the shuttle below waist height. Short serves skim the net; long serves arc high toward the baseline.
• Footwork: Quick, balanced steps let you reach any corner of the court. A small hop before your opponent hits prepares you to move anywhere.
• Stance: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent. Face the net with your racket up, ready to strike.
• Strokes: Master the clear, drop, smash, and net play to cover all situations. Adjusting racket face and speed creates different shot trajectories.

Practising these five techniques builds a solid foundation for competitive play.

Badminton lessons in Coventry typically cost about £29/h per hour.

This rate varies based on several factors:

• The student's level (beginner, intermediate, or advanced)
• Your tutor's background and certifications (county player, national squad, BWF accredited)
• How long and how often you train (single sessions, weekly blocks, or intensive courses)
• Lesson format (one-to-one, group classes, or online video analysis)

Committing to a course usually works out cheaper per session.

Some tutors include a free trial lesson so you can check the fit before committing.

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

• Scoring: Games are played to 21 points using rally scoring. A two-point lead is needed, but 30 is the ceiling.
• Serving: The serve must travel diagonally into the opposite service box. Keep your feet planted and contact the shuttle beneath midsection.
• One hit per side: Each side may only strike the shuttle once before it crosses the net.
• Faults: Landing outside the lines, serving into the net, or body contact all count as faults. Touching the net with your body or racket also results in a fault.
• Boundaries: In singles, the court is narrower; in doubles, the full width is used. Doubles serves must land before the back line, but rallies can use the full length.

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