Badminton rests on five key techniques: grip, serve, footwork, stance, and strokes.

• 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: The serve must contact the shuttle below your midsection. Use a low serve for tight net play or a high serve to send them deep.
• Footwork: Agile movement keeps you ready to return any shot. A small hop before your opponent hits prepares you to move anywhere.
• Stance: Keep your feet wide and knees soft to stay mobile. 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.

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

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

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: Each rally won earns one point, and games go to 21. You must win by two points, with a cap at 30.
• Serving: Your serve has to land in the diagonally opposite area. Hit the shuttle below your waist while both feet touch the floor.
• One hit per side: The shuttle must go over after a single hit from your side.
• Faults: Landing outside the lines, serving into the net, or body contact all count as faults. Contact with the net during play gives the point to your opponent.
• 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.
