Basic Skills of Badminton

TWO TYPES OF HAND STROKES

1. Forehand 2. Backhand

BASIC SKILLS

1. Clear or Lob. Hitting the shuttle upwards to the back of the opponent's court. The shuttle goes very high, so that
a player gains time for recovery to a good based position.

2. Smash. A powerful hit so that the shuttlecock travels on steeply downwards at a great speed into the
opponent's court.

3. Drop. Hitting the shuttlecock lightly so as to move downwards into the opponent's forecourt.

4. Netting/Net Shot. Hitting the shuttlecock into the opponent's forecourt, as close to the net as possible.

5. Drive. Hitting the shuttlecock on a straight line just above the net into the opponent's court.

6. Service. The act of putting the player/s in play. Inevitably, a service takes place after the umpire mentioned the
score.

BASIC FOOTWORK

Stride standing position (feet apart) with knees a bit bended. One foot is a little bit ahead over the
another. Do this, in the center or middle of a half of the court.

2. Side-to-side (Defense)
Starting in the Ready Position, step right foot sideward, finishing in lunge position (use forehand stroke if
right dominant).
To go back, hop (jump) both feet sideward left finishing in ready position.

Execute this again on the other side starting with right foot (use backhand for the stroke if right dominant)

3. V-Front
Starting in the Ready Position, step right foot and then hop (jump) obliquely forward
finishing in lunge position (use forehand stroke if right dominant).

To go back, step left and then hop (jump) both feet obliquely backward left finishing in ready
