3. ● Badminton is a fast-paced racquet sport that combines
agility, precision, and strategy. Played either in singles or
doubles, the objective is to score points by sending a
shuttlecock over the net and into the opponent's court.
With origins traced back to ancient civilizations,
badminton has evolved into a highly competitive and
popular sport worldwide, known for its dynamic rallies,
lightning-quick reflexes, and a diverse set of strokes.
Whether played recreationally or at a professional level,
badminton offers a thrilling mix of athleticism and finesse,
making it an engaging sport for players of all ages and skill
levels.
INTRODUCTION
6. ● This drill is intended for two players, which will both
perform the drill together. You should both place
yourselves at a point in the backcourt. In order to
have an easier time keeping a reference of where you
have to be, it is recommended that you stay either in
the intersection between the center service line and
the backline or in the intersection between the side
singles line and the backline.
CLEAR STATIC DRILL
7. ● A variation of the above also includes some
movement to make it more challenging and also
more similar to real game situations. In this drill,
you both move from one back corner of the court to
the other back corner of the court. One of you will
always shoot parallel clears, whilst the other will
always shoot diagonal clears. After a bit, you can
switch roles so however was first shooting parallel
clears shoots diagonal clears and the other way
around.
CLEAR NON-STATIC DRILL
8. ● This drill is very similar to the clear static drill, but
with the difference that one of the players is in the
net instead of in the backcourt. In this drill, one
player performs drop shots, whereas the other player
performs net lift shots. The idea, though, is that both
have a defined location/corner of the court and that
the shuttle has to travel from one to the other. This
drill will be more useful to the person performing the
drops, but the player on the net lifting the shuttles
can also take advantage of it.
DROP STATIC DRILL
9. ● In this drill, the player in the net stays in the
same position all the time. However, the
player performing the drops move all
around the back of the court, so the player
lifting the shuttle can decide where he or
she sends it. This drill approximates better
real game situations as the player
performing the drops will have to move
around in order to catch the shuttle.
DROP DRILL WITH STATIC NET
PLAYER
10. ● This is the same drill as the previous one, but an
extra step is added. Instead of always lifting the
shuttle to the end of the court, the static net player
will combine lift shots with net shots. The player
performing the drill will then have to move from the
front of the court to the back of the court, always
returning the shuttle to the position of the static net
player. The net player can either do the shots
alternatively (one lift, one net, one lift, one net…) or
randomly, so more difficulty is added.
DROP AND NET DRILL WITH STATIC
NET PLAYER
12. ● In this drill, the two players play an
equally active role in the exercise. The
drill is similar to the previous one,
but both players will move from the
front to the back of the court. The
sequence will be as follows:
DROP AND LIFT NON-STATIC DRILL
13. ● Player 1 serves a high serve.
● Player 2 returns a drop shot.
● Player 1 returns a net shot.
● Player 2 returns a lift shot.
● Player 1 returns a drop shot.
● Player 2 returns a net shot.
After this, player 1 will return a lift shot, which will leave the
drill in the same position as it was in the start with a high
serve. The drill will continue onwards until somebody misses
a shot.
14. ● In this drill, both players are nearby the net and try
to do a continuous rally by sending the shuttle back
and forth with net shots. The focus during this drill
should be on proper net shot technique.
NET STATIC DRILL
15. ● This badminton drill is performed by locating boxes in
different positions of the court. The aim should be to get as
many shuttles in the boxes as possible. To make this more
interesting, you can compete against other players and try
to see who gets more shuttles inside the boxes. Another
additional step to make it more interesting is to give a
different value to the different boxes. For example, if you
have boxes of different sizes, you can give the smallest size
boxes more points as it is more difficult to hit the target
with a smaller box.
SERVING CHALLENGE DRILL
16. ● This drill requires the help of an additional person (the
feeder) and as many shuttles as you can get your hands on.
The feeder will feed you the shuttle in all the area of the
backcourt. Your aim is to hit every shuttle correctly and
with maximum intent. It is recommended to go back to the
center of the court after each shot in order to bring real
game situations into play. You can alternate between
forehand and backhand shots, also combining clears,
drops and smashes.
MULTIPLE SHUTTLES – OVERHEAD
STROKES
17. ● This drill requires also the help of an additional person
(the feeder) and as many shuttles as you can get your
hands on. The feeder will feed you the shuttle in all the
area of the net. Your aim is to hit every shuttle correctly
and with maximum intent. It is recommended to go back
to the center of the court after each shot in order to bring
real game situations into play. You can alternate between
forehand and backhand shots, also combining net shots,
kill shots and lift shots.
MULTIPLE SHUTTLES – NET PLAY
18. ● To perform this drill, you only need your racket, an old
shuttle, and a wall. The idea of this drill is to hit the shuttle
against the wall and try to keep it in the air for as long as
possible, while also combining different types of shots.
● This drill will not only help you in practicing your shots,
but it will also help your endurance and also your reflexes,
as the shuttle will bounce very fast and sometimes in an
unexpected direction from the wall.
WALL RALLY DRILL
20. ● To perform this drill, you basically move from the
center of the court to all the six corners performing
the proper footwork. Ideally, you want to perform
this exercise with a partner. The partner stands in
front of you and directs you to the next corner of his
or her choice. This way you don’t need to decide by
yourself where the next movement needs to be.
SHADOW BADMINTON
21. ● You can also make this drill more focused and only
move from the center to one corner and back to the
center. You can also combine two movements in one,
for example, going first to your forehand front corner
and then to the forehand side, mimicking what
would happen if you first had to catch a drop shot
and you decided to lift it and then had to react to a
smash.
SHADOW BADMINTON
22. ● You start with the waiting position but facing the
back of the court instead of the net. The other person
is on the net on your side of the court. You need to
turn around with a jump. While performing this
turn, the feeder will throw you the ball somewhere
close to you. When landing after the turn, you should
be doing what is called a split-step or split jump, and
you need to move quickly and try to catch the ball
with your hands.
TURN AROUND AND CATCH THE
BALL
23. ● Another similar drill is to get into a waiting position.
Your partner will then drop the ball from the top and
you have to catch it before it touches the floor. The
drill can be made more complicated by forcing the
ball to be caught from the top or by starting with
your hand on your back.
CATCH THE BALL WHILE IT FALLS
24. ● This drill can improve your agility. Starting from the
split step position, the idea is to move one of your
two feet one step in front, while also crossing it in
front of the other. It is a step forward but diagonally.
Once that is done, you then move the foot back to the
initial position. The trick here is doing this as fast as
possible while still performing it properly, thus not
moving the other foot from its position. In the
following video, you will find the explanation and
demonstration, plus some other smaller exercises to
improve your agility.
SPLIT STEP “DANCE”
26. ● In this drill, one person starts as a king of the court, while all the
others start a queue to become the challengers. The first
challenger steps on the court and plays a normal rally with the
king of the court.
● If the king of the court wins the rally, he adds a point to his or her
score, while the challenger has to leave the court and has his or
her position taken by the next challenger.
● If the challenger wins the rally, he becomes king of the court,
moves to the other side of the court and adds a point to his or her
score. The king of the court moves out from the court joining the
queue of challengers, while the first new challenger moves into the
court to challenge the new king of the court.
KING OF THE COURT
27. ● This drill is also very useful if you are a bit short of
space to train singles. Instead of having to use a full-
court, you can do half-court singles. This drill will
help with resistance because the rallies tend to be
longer. It will also help with shot accuracy because
you are playing on only half the surface and
therefore you need to focus on the landing position
of your shots.
HALF-COURT SINGLES
28. ● This is a great exercise if you are a better player than
the people you are training with. In this drill, you
play against two other players, both you and them
playing within the singles court. Your two opponents
will play in a front-back situation, which means that
you will be very pressured and will not be able to do
any lazy shots to recover.
2 VERSUS 1
29. ● This is a fun game to play in order to shake things
and change a bit the rules of badminton. In this
game, there are four players playing in a doubles
court, but instead of playing in couples, you each
own half of your court and you play by yourself. If a
player misses the shot or if the shuttle lands on his
part of the court, that player loses a point. Usually,
there is a fifth player waiting outside of the court and
that player would take the position of the player that
has just lost the rally.
