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

• Grip: A relaxed handshake grip gives you control on forehand strokes. The backhand grip places your thumb against the handle for extra push.
• 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: Good footwork means moving fast while staying centred. Bouncing lightly on both feet lets you spring toward the shuttle.
• Stance: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent. Stay square to the net with your racket at chest height.
• 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.

Badminton lessons in Glasgow typically cost about £25/h per hour.

The final cost depends on:

• The student's level (beginner, intermediate, or advanced)
• The coach's experience and qualifications (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)

Many coaches offer discounted packages for regular bookings, helping you save over time.

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: You score on every rally, first to 21 wins the game. A two-point lead is needed, but 30 is the ceiling.
• Serving: You serve crosscourt into the diagonal box. Hit the shuttle below your waist while both feet touch the floor.
• 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. Touching the net with your body or racket also results in a fault.
• Boundaries: Singles use the inner sidelines, doubles use the outer ones. 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.
