Badminton rests on five key techniques: 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. Short serves skim the net; long serves arc high toward the baseline.
• Footwork: Agile movement keeps you ready to return any shot. Bouncing lightly on both feet lets you spring toward the shuttle.
• Stance: Keep your feet wide and knees soft to stay mobile. 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.

The average price for a badminton lesson in Romford is around £35/h.

The final cost depends on:

• The student's level (beginner, intermediate, or advanced)
• Your tutor's background and certifications (club coach, performance coach, or ex-professional)
• How long and how often you train (one-off lessons, regular slots, or holiday camps)
• Lesson format (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.

Badminton follows five core rules covering scoring, serving, rallies, faults, and court boundaries.

• 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. Keep your feet planted and contact the shuttle beneath midsection.
• One hit per side: The shuttle must go over after a single hit from your side.
• Faults: Out-of-bounds shots, net errors on serve, and body touches lose you the rally. Contact with the net during play gives the point to your opponent.
• 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.
