Five core skills form the basis of badminton: how you hold the racket, serve, move, stand, and hit.

• Grip: Hold the racket as if greeting someone for forehand shots. Backhand requires a slight twist so your thumb supports the shot.
• Serve: A legal serve must strike the shuttle below waist height. Low serves stay close to the net, while high serves push opponents back.
• Footwork: Agile movement keeps you ready to return any shot. 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: Key shots include the clear, drop, smash, and net shot. Each stroke uses different racket angles and swing speeds.

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

Understanding scoring, serving, rally play, faults, and lines gives you everything you need to start.

• Scoring: Each rally won earns one point, and games go to 21. If it reaches 29-all, the next point wins.
• Serving: The serve must travel diagonally into the opposite service box. The shuttle must be struck below waist height with both feet grounded.
• One hit per side: The shuttle must go over after a single hit from your side.
• 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. For serves in doubles, the back tramline is out; in rallies, it is in.

These five rules cover most situations you will face on court.
