For young athletes aged 9-11, training should emphasize body control, stability, and foundational strength without excessive strain. This program focuses on bodyweight isometric exercises, which help develop muscular endurance, joint stability, and proper movement patterns.
By incorporating controlled, time-based holds and fundamental movements, young players can build strength safely while improving their coordination and body awareness—key elements for long-term athletic success in badminton.
Movement forms the foundation of training, and basic exercises are designed to be suitable for beginners. If an athlete can perform a movement with ease while maintaining proper form and control, it is highly recommended to introduce progression. Progression and regression of each exercise should be considered based on your athlete's ability.
