COMMON QUESTIONS

Badminton FAQs

Do I need to bring my own racket and shoes?

Yes, students must bring their own racket, non-marking court shoes, and shuttlecocks. We can advise on suitable brands if you need recommendations.

I am a complete beginner — is this the right place?

Absolutely. Our Beginner Group program is specifically designed for those picking up a racket for the first time. Coach Koushik Badiga runs structured beginner sessions focused on footwork, grip, and basic strokes in a patient, encouraging environment.

How long before I can start playing competitively?

Most dedicated students who train 3+ sessions per week are ready for internal academy tournaments within 4–6 months. For external BAI-level tournament readiness, our coaches typically prepare players within 12–18 months depending on your starting ability and dedication.

Are there separate programs for kids and adults?

No — there's no age restriction. Players of all ages train together in the same batches, and coaches adapt drills and pacing to each player's skill level rather than splitting by age.

How do I book a session with Coach Manoj Kumar directly?

Private sessions with Coach Manoj are booked via WhatsApp (button on this page). His Sunday morning slots are the most popular — we recommend booking at least a week in advance. Weekday evening slots are also available on select days.
