Find your badminton lessons in Carlton

Understanding the basic rules of badminton gives you the confidence to play and compete right away.

• Serving: You must serve diagonally and below the waist — the correct service court depends on whether your score is odd or even.
• Scoring: Games go to 21 points with rally scoring, and you must win by at least two clear points.
• The shuttlecock: Each side may only strike the shuttle once before it crosses the net — you cannot carry or double-hit it.
• The net: Your racquet or body must never touch the net or its supports while the shuttle is in play — doing so results in a fault.
• In and out: The shuttle must land within the court boundary lines; singles and doubles courts use different boundary widths.

Mastering these fundamentals opens the door to more advanced strategy and gameplay.

A private badminton lesson in Carlton costs approximately $40/h.

Several factors influence the price:

• Your current level (beginner, intermediate, advanced)
• The instructor's credentials and track record
• The package you choose (one-off or regular sessions)
• The lesson format (online, at a local court, or at the tutor's venue)

Many tutors offer package discounts for booking multiple lessons.

The best way to get better at badminton is to build solid fundamentals early and practise them regularly.

• Master the grip and stance: Learning a proper grip and athletic stance early makes every other technique far easier to develop.
• Develop your footwork: Court movement is as important as striking technique; dedicated footwork drills accelerate your overall game.
• Practise core shots: Focus on the clear, drop shot, smash, and net play as your foundational shot repertoire — build accuracy before adding power.
• Play regularly and review: Regular match play exposes your weaknesses and builds decision-making under real game conditions.

Following this approach consistently leads to noticeable improvement within just a few weeks.
