2. The seven fundamental skills in volleyball Grip Stance Footwork Serve Smash Drop Shot Clear/Lob Although there are seven fundamental skills, I will discuss three for now.

3. Grip The right grip in holding the racket is really important to achieve control on shots while avoiding the chances of a wrist injury . Proper grip will allow you to play both backhand and forehand strokes effortlessly . Holding a racket is similar to a friendly handshake. Just the thumb will be comfortably placed against the wider surface of the handle grip. The rest of the hand will imitate a handshake. Remember to keep the handshake friendly, avoiding a tight grip. It will hinder the flexibility in motion and also might lead to wrist injuries in the long term. 

4. Kinds of Grip Backhand Strokes Push the thumb forward while playing backhand strokes. Forehand Strokes Push the index finger forward while playing forehand strokes.

6. Stance The stance is how you stand while playing badminton, both in between a rally and before the serve. A stable and correct stance will bring a huge change in the results due to easier movement . There are 3 types of stance : Attacking/Offensive Stance Defensive Stance Net Stance

7. Attacking/Offensive Stance It is used to get into position before playing an overhead forehand stroke. Turn your body facing the sidelines with racket leg behind and both legs shoulder-width apart. Now raise both racket and non-racket arms to generate the power to attack the shuttle on its downward trajectory. Defensive stance To defend the opponent’s smash Face the body to the net and place your racket in front at waist height, slightly pointing forward. You can keep the non-racket arm as comfortable while ensuring a better balance.

8. Net stance This stance is to be ready for the opponent’s return after playing a net shot . P lace your foot on the racket side forward while keeping a non-racket foot at the back. Place the racket in front of the body, slightly above waist height while raising the non-racket arm. Shift the body weight slightly forward to be ready to pounce forward.

10. Footwork Footwork plays a huge role in helping with an effective and organized movement on the court . Tips for proper footwork Always remember the base (starting point). Move only 2-3 steps backward. Shuffle only 1 step sidewards . Move only 2-3 steps front.
