Badminton Facts

The shuttlecock (or shuttle) is a feathered projectile whose unique aerodynamic properties cause it to fly differently from the balls used in most racquet sports; in particular, the feathers create much higher drag, causing the shuttlecock to decelerate more rapidly than a ball. Shuttlecocks have a much higher top speed, when compared to other racquet sports. Because shuttlecock flight is affected by wind, competitive badminton is played indoors.

Badminton is also played outdoors as a casual recreational activity, often as a garden or beach game.

 

 About Me: Stuart Ingram Badminton Coach


I am a full time, CRB accreditted, qualified Badminton England (Level 2) coach and have been playing badminton for 30 years, up to County standard.

Currently involved in weekly coaching sessions with the Worcestershire Juniors, also working alongside Lorraine Cole (England Under 19s current coach) with the Worcestershire development squad.

I am keen to raise the awareness of badminton; badminton is a sport that can be enjoyed at many levels and unlike some sports a minimum level of fitness is not required to start.  Badminton can be enjoyed by young and old alike...
