Find your badminton lessons in Lane Cove

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

• Serving: The serve must be hit diagonally below the waist, from the right service court when your score is even and from the left when it's odd.
• Scoring: Points are scored on every rally using rally scoring, and the first player or pair to reach 21 wins the game — with a minimum two-point lead.
• The shuttlecock: The shuttle must be hit once per side; carrying or double-hitting the shuttlecock is a fault.
• The net: Any contact with the net during a rally counts as a fault, so footwork and reach must be precise.
• In and out: The shuttle must land within the court boundary lines; singles and doubles courts use different boundary widths.

With these rules in hand, you'll be able to follow and enjoy a match straight away.

A private badminton lesson in Lane Cove costs approximately $55/h.

The cost depends on a number of things:

• The level of study (junior, adult recreational, or competitive)
• The tutor's experience and qualifications
• The number of hours booked per week
• The lesson format (online, at a local court, or at the tutor's venue)

Most teachers offer a free trial lesson so you can test their approach before committing.

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

• Master the grip and stance: A correct racquet grip and balanced ready position underpin every shot you'll ever play — getting these right from day one prevents bad habits forming.
• Develop your footwork: Efficient footwork allows you to reach the shuttle in time and recover quickly — practise movement patterns on court without the shuttle first.
• Practise core shots: Work through the key shots methodically, drilling each one until it feels consistent under pressure.
• Play regularly and review: Consistent game time, combined with occasional video review, helps you spot patterns in your play and fix them faster.

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