Elevate Your Game with Badminton

• Warm-Up:
  • Always start with a 5–10-minute warm-up to prepare your body and prevent injuries. This can include jogging, jumping jacks, and dynamic stretches.

• Learn and practice the correct grip (forehand and backhand) to ensure control and precision.

• Focus on basic footwork to improve your movement on the court. Practice side-to-side, front-to-back, and diagonal movements.

• Practice your strokes and footwork without a shuttlecock to build muscle memory and improve technique.

• Hit the shuttlecock against a wall to practice control and consistency. This helps improve your reaction time and accuracy.

• Basic Movement:
  • Practice side-to-side, front-to-back, and diagonal movements.
  • Stay on the balls of your feet for quick changes in direction.
• Lunge:
  • Step forward with one leg, bending the knee to lower your body.
  • Keep your back leg straight and push off quickly to return to position.

• Forehand Clear:
  • Swing the racket in an overhead motion, hitting the shuttle high and deep.
  • Ensure proper follow-through for accuracy and power.
• Backhand Clear:
  • Use a backhand grip, swing the racket across your body.
  • Hit the shuttle high and deep, like the forehand clear.
• Drop Shot:
  • Lightly tap the shuttle, making it fall just over the net.
  • Use both forehand and backhand techniques.
• Smash:
  • Perform an overhead stroke with maximum power to send the shuttle down steeply.
  • Aim for accuracy and speed.

• Low Serve:
  • Use a forehand grip, hitting the shuttle gently to just clear the net.
  • Keep the shuttle low to prevent easy attacks.
• High Serve:
  • Use an underhand motion to hit the shuttle high and deep into the opponent's court.
  • Aim for the back boundary line.
• Flick Serve:
  • Use a quick wrist action to send the shuttle over the opponent's head.
  • Surprise your opponent with speed and placement.
