Badminton (3)

Badminton is a fast, technical sport where the winner is the one who gets under the shuttle at the right moment and can disguise the shot. A badminton coach teaches the grip, wrist control and footwork that let you cover the court in fewer steps. The first sessions practise the basic strokes such as the high clear, the drop shot and the smash.

Children and older players alike play badminton because the load is easy to adjust: a relaxed doubles game is very different from singles at match pace. Experienced players often come to a coach to refine tactics, the serve or doubles positioning. Technique work is usually combined with speed and coordination drills.

Before choosing a badminton coach, ask whether sessions are one-to-one or in a small group, whether court hire and shuttles are included in the price and which sports hall you will play in. If you are aiming for competition, find out whether the coach works with a club that enters tournaments in Estonia.
