The Warm-up will be 10-15 mins where players get the body ready and warm. In addition, exercises in the warm-up are strongly supporting the development of motorskills and flexibility which are essential in badminton.

Practical info

Used feather shuttlecocks will be used during the training and the coach will provide the shuttlecocks for the training. You also need to bring your own racket, suitable clothes, shoes (indoor sport / badminton shoes, no sneakers or other shoes designed for outdoor use), a bottle of water, and maybe a sweat towel. If you're thinking about what equipment to buy, it is recommended to invest in good badminton shoes before buying the best racket.
