Badminton is a racket sport played between single opponents and doubles partners world wide. Using a rectangular court not unlike a tennis court, players use their rackets to exchange volleys using a shuttlecock. The shuttlecock is a small feathered projectile that flies much differently than other types of balls or volley tools. It's much lighter, and the higher drag associated with it makes it hard to anticipate. The game is enjoyed by young and old all over the world, and is also an Olympic sport which requires a generous amount of hand to eye coordination.

In this instructional Badminton video lesson, our expert player will show you the basics of the game. Learn the history of the sport, techniques for stances, grips and shots as well as tips for unique strokes and more. Underhanded shots, backhand shots, smash shots and basic footwork tips will help you prepare for your first lesson or your big tournament!
