Introduction
Many people neglect badminton footwork because it might not seem
important at all.
You might hear some people say “why care about footwork when I can do a
300km/h smash”. Are you thinking that way too?
However I would say that the footwork is the most important skill you should
master. It’s even more important than smashing! This is because an effective
and organized footwork provides superb speed and agility which enables the
player to move around the badminton court swiftly and return every
shuttlecock.
Playing badminton is all about speed. The shuttlecock can move extremely
fast and you must move faster than the shuttlecock to be able to hit it

FOOT WORK
Tips on How to Move Effectively
Take ONLY 2-3 steps when moving to the back of the court.
Stretch ONLY 1 step towards the sides of the court.
Take ONLY 2-3 steps to the front of the court.
Maintain your balance: While one of your hands will be holding the racquet, keep the other
hand wide open.
Good stance:. When you’re in a ready position (before your opponent serves), make sure
one leg is in front and one leg behind, opened slightly wide (refer to the picture above).
If the shuttle is served to the front, use your toes of your back leg to push your bodyweight
to the front.
If the shuttle is served to the back, use your front leg toes to push your bodyweight to the
back. This enables you to move fast once the shuttle is served.
Important Advice
The idea is to quickly move to take the shuttle and then quickly return to your base.
Agility is important, but body balance is equally important.
