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. For backhand shots, rotate your thumb onto the flat side of the handle.
• Serve: You must hit the shuttle beneath your waist when serving. Use a low serve for tight net play or a high serve to send them deep.
• Footwork: Quick, balanced steps let you reach any corner of the court. Bouncing lightly on both feet lets you spring toward the shuttle.
• Stance: A balanced stance means you can push off quickly. Hold your position front-on, racket prepared.
• Strokes: Master the clear, drop, smash, and net play to cover all situations. 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. You must win by two points, with a cap at 30.
• Serving: You serve crosscourt into the diagonal box. Hit the shuttle below your waist while both feet touch the floor.
• One hit per side: Each side may only strike the shuttle once before it crosses the net.
• 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: The court width changes depending on whether you play singles or doubles. Doubles serves must land before the back line, but rallies can use the full length.

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