Find your badminton lessons in Mount Waverley

Knowing the rules of badminton is the first step toward enjoying the game and improving steadily.

• 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: 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: Any contact with the net during a rally counts as a fault, so footwork and reach must be precise.
• In and out: Boundary lines differ between singles and doubles — knowing which lines apply helps you avoid costly faults.

A qualified badminton tutor can walk you through the rules and help you apply them in real match situations from your very first lesson.

A private badminton lesson in Mount Waverley costs approximately $50/h.

The cost depends on a number of things:

• Your current level (beginner, intermediate, advanced)
• The tutor's experience and qualifications
• The duration and frequency of lessons
• The teaching mode (in-person or video analysis session)

Many tutors offer package discounts for booking multiple lessons.

Getting started in badminton the right way means focusing on technique, footwork, and game sense from the beginning.

• 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: 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: Consistent game time, combined with occasional video review, helps you spot patterns in your play and fix them faster.

A private badminton tutor can personalise each session to your current level and accelerate your progress significantly.
