Overview:
We adopt a game-centred approach to teaching badminton. Students will be encouraged to ‘train with purpose’ and this involves guided play using questions and direct instruction to foster both tactical understanding and technical development. Our badminton programme is designed to cater to students of all skill levels. Participants will begin by learning the basic badminton strokes, hitting and serve skills essential for effective gameplay.
As the students progress, the focus shifts towards refining their skills through engaging game-based activities. These activities will focus on tactical thinking and comprehensive court play. Students will have the opportunity to apply the techniques they have learned to make strategic shot decisions, while also honing their abilities in both Singles and Doubles matches.
Our programme aims to provide a progressive learning experience, ensuring that students develop a strong foundation in badminton and continuously enhance their proficiency in the sport.
