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

• Grip: The forehand grip is like shaking hands with the racket handle. Backhand requires a slight twist so your thumb supports the shot.
• Serve: A legal serve must strike the shuttle below waist height. 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. A small hop before your opponent hits prepares you to move anywhere.
• 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.

Expect to pay roughly £25/h for an hour of badminton coaching in Enfield.

This rate varies based on several factors:

• Your current ability (newcomer, club player, or competitive)
• Your tutor's background and certifications (county player, national squad, BWF accredited)
• How long and how often you train (one-off lessons, regular slots, or holiday camps)
• Lesson format (one-to-one, group classes, or online video analysis)

Committing to a course usually works out cheaper per session.

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

• Scoring: Games are played to 21 points using rally scoring. If it reaches 29-all, the next point wins.
• Serving: The serve must travel diagonally into the opposite service 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: Landing outside the lines, serving into the net, or body contact all count as faults. 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.
