A moment of appreciation to this group of trainees!
Last Monday, this group concluded their private training session under our camp. They've all undergone our Basics Program I: Forecourt and Midcourt Coverage -- mastering the basics, fortifying their foundation backed up by theory, unlearning habits, and correcting their footwork and strokes. In this course, they were taught about the different movement cycles and hitting techniques involved in the forecourt and midcourt areas. Now that they are equipped with the knowledge to dominate their forecourt and midcourt plays, they're now ready to take on a much challenging component of the sport, the rearcourt play! Pretty sure they'll smash the next phase too, the Basics Program II: Rearcourt Coverage, to the ground 💪
Net shot, low serve, high serve, net lift, drive--do you know about all of these strokes? Are you unsure if you are doing them right? Do you usually commit unforced errors when doing these and give easy points to your opponents? There may be some things to address in your technique.
Do you know that in technical terms, there is no such thing as 'forehand grip' and 'backhand grip'? But there are what we call 'V-grip/Basic grip' and 'Thumb grip'. Have you heard of these two? Not to mention that these are just 2 out of the 4 different grips in badminton as published by the BWF — Badminton World Federation. Wondering when and in what situation should you use them?
Chassé, pivot, split-step, hop, lunge, running step, cross-behind, scissor kick, base position, approach, recovery--can you spot and identify all of these while watching a player move on court? Wondering why you're having a hard time picking up your opponents' shots? There may be some visiting needed in your movement cycle.
If you wanna be more aware of your game and learn more about badminton in a structured fashion, hit us up and let's start your development journey right off the bat!
