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

• Grip: A relaxed handshake grip gives you control on forehand strokes. The backhand grip places your thumb against the handle for extra push.
• Serve: The serve must contact the shuttle below your midsection. Low serves stay close to the net, while high serves push opponents back.
• Footwork: Agile movement keeps you ready to return any shot. The split step helps you react in any direction after each stroke.
• Stance: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent. Hold your position front-on, racket prepared.
• Strokes: Clears, drops, smashes, and net shots form your attacking toolkit. Each stroke uses different racket angles and swing speeds.

Once you own these skills, you can handle rallies with confidence.

Expect to pay roughly £16/h for an hour of badminton coaching in Luton.

The final cost depends on:

• 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)
• Where you train (private coaching, group sessions, or remote technique review)

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

A first session at no charge lets you test the coach's style.

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

• Scoring: You score on every rally, first to 21 wins the game. A two-point lead is needed, but 30 is the ceiling.
• Serving: Your serve has to land in the diagonally opposite area. 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: A fault occurs if the shuttle lands out, hits the net on a serve, or touches your body. Touching the net with your body or racket also results in a fault.
• Boundaries: The court width changes depending on whether you play singles or doubles. Service in doubles has a shorter back boundary than the rally.

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