The course consists of 3 main themes covering basics of badminton: footwork, different shots in badminton as well as improving consistency in badminton shots.

Targeted players are those who completed Badminton 101 or already know some basics about badminton techniques and want to improve your techniques and game play.

Expected learning outcomes: 1) Improve basic techniques in badminton such as footwork and shots; 2) Improve the consistency in shots and movements of players, 3) Implement some basic tactics in games (both in doubles and singles)

Training session structure

A training session includes 3 main activities of which they are equally important and fun: 1) Warm-up; 2) Training; and 3) Games.

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. The Training (50-55 mins) will provide guidance about different themes as mentioned in the course content. The Game (ca. 15 mins) will be the part where players can apply what they have learned in the game.

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.
