Private Badminton Lessons in Singapore (1 to 1 Coaching)
Finding the right private badminton coach in Singapore is the most effective way to improve your game. Whether you are a complete beginner wanting to learn the basics correctly or an experienced player looking to fix bad habits, 1 to 1 training provides the focused attention you cannot get in a large group. At ST Badminton Academy, our private lessons for kids and adults focus on building a strong foundation, proper footwork, and consistent technique.
Led by Head Coach Eric Chuar, we offer structured personal badminton coaching across Singapore, designed to help you progress steadily without shortcuts.
Who Is It For?
Who Needs Private Badminton Lessons in Singapore?
Private badminton coaching is not just for players who want to become national athletes. In fact, it is often most beneficial for beginners and intermediate players who need to establish a correct foundation. If you are an adult who picked up badminton socially but struggles with wrist pain or lack of power, or a parent wanting your child to learn discipline and safety, our lessons are designed for you.
We serve a wide range of students across Singapore, from total beginners to school team players.
Our private lessons are suitable for working adults who want an efficient workout while learning a skill, children who need focused guidance to correct poor form, and anyone who feels stuck at their current level. We focus on the individual’s pace, ensuring that you understand the “why” behind every movement, whether we are training in the west, north, or central areas of Singapore.
Private vs Group
Why Choose 1 to 1 Coaching Over Big Groups?
In a typical group class of 8 to 10 students, a coach can only spend a few minutes with each player. This often leads to “feeding practice” where you hit shuttles without correcting your mistakes. With private badminton lessons in Singapore, 100% of the time is dedicated to you. The coach acts as a mirror, instantly correcting your wrist angle, body balance, or timing the moment you make an error.
This immediate feedback loop allows you to learn significantly faster. We customize the training intensity to match your fitness level whether you are an adult building stamina or a child learning coordination.
For players in Singapore who are serious about fixing chronic bad habits (like using a “pan handle” grip or running with heavy footsteps), one to one coaching is the only effective method to retrain your muscle memory.
For Children
Private Badminton Lessons for Kids in Singapore
Parents often ask if private coaching is too intense for children. At ST Badminton Academy, our focus for kids is building a correct foundation, not exhausting them. Private lessons allow us to teach discipline, respect, and focus in a way that is harder to achieve in a noisy group class. We work on basic footwork (split step, lunges) and correct racket swings from day one.
By using sports science principles, we ensure that the training load is appropriate for the child’s age and physical development.
We do not rush to teach jumping smashes. Instead, we ensure your child can move safely to all four corners of the court. This patience protects them from injury and sets them up for success if they decide to join school teams or competitive squads later on.
For Adults
Private Badminton Lessons for Adults in Singapore
Many adults in Singapore play social badminton weekly but find themselves stagnant or suffering from recurring shoulder and knee pain. This is often due to improper technique learned years ago. Our private badminton lessons for adults focus on efficiency and injury prevention. We help you unlearn “arm-heavy” swings and replace them with proper body rotation and fluid footwork.
Whether you are a working professional wanting a focused hour of training or a retiree looking to stay active safely, we adjust the session to your physical condition.
Our goal is to help you play longer rallies with less effort, making your social games more enjoyable and competitive.
Training Structure
What Happens in a Private Training Session?
A typical 1 to 1 badminton session at ST Badminton Academy is highly structured. We begin with a specific warm-up targeting badminton muscles. We then move to footwork drills (shadow badminton) to ensure your movement is fluid before touching the shuttle. The core of the session involves multi-shuttle drills designed to improve specific strokes such as net lifts, drops, or clears while the coach corrects your form after every few shots.
We often end with game application drills where you must use the learned skills in a rally situation. Throughout the session, we emphasize quality over quantity.
There is no “mindless hitting.” Every drill has a purpose, whether it is to improve your reaction time, balance, or tactical awareness on the court.
Science & Method
Using Sports Science in Badminton Training
Badminton is a high-speed sport that requires agility, not just brute strength. In our private lessons, we incorporate sports science concepts such as center of gravity management, reaction time, and biomechanics. We teach you how to move efficiently to save energy and recover quickly for the next shot. This approach is crucial for preventing common injuries like ankle sprains or tennis elbow.
By understanding the mechanics of your body, you can generate more power with less effort.
We also explain the importance of proper warm-ups and cool-downs tailored to badminton, ensuring you can train consistently over the long term without burnout.

FAQs: Private Badminton Lessons in Singapore
Here are answers to common questions about our 1 to 1 badminton coaching in Singapore.
Are private badminton lessons worth it in Singapore?
Yes, especially if you value your time. In a group class, progress can be slow due to divided attention. Private lessons accelerate your learning curve because every minute is focused on your specific weaknesses. For busy adults and students in Singapore, this efficiency often makes private coaching better value for money in the long run.
Is 1 to 1 badminton coaching good for beginners?
Absolutely. Beginners benefit the most because they have not yet developed bad habits. Learning the correct grip, stance, and swing from the very first lesson prevents years of frustration and injury later. It builds a solid foundation that makes the game more enjoyable.
How many private lessons are recommended per week?
We recommend at least one session per week for steady maintenance. However, if you want to see significant improvement in technique and fitness, two sessions per week is ideal. Consistency is key to muscle memory, especially for technical sports like badminton.
Do you provide coaching for adults who just want exercise?
Yes. Many of our adult students in Singapore join us purely for fitness. We design the session to keep your heart rate up through continuous drills while correcting your form. This gives you a great cardio workout while ensuring you play safely without hurting your knees or back.
What age can children start private lessons?
We generally accept children from age 5 and above. At this age, they are ready to follow instructions and develop coordination. For younger children, private 1 to 1 or small group coaching is safer than large classes because the coach can closely supervise every movement.
Do you offer home badminton coaching in Singapore?
While we can travel to private condos if courts are available, we strongly recommend training at proper sports halls with high ceilings and non-slip mats. Standard badminton courts allow for full court drills and lobs that might not be possible in some smaller condo facilities. Please check with us regarding your location availability.
How fast will I improve with private training?
Improvement depends on your consistency and practice. However, most students feel a difference in their balance and stroke confidence within the first month (4 sessions). Correcting deep-rooted bad habits may take longer, but the progress is steady and permanent.
Where do you conduct lessons in Singapore?
We conduct private lessons at various sports halls and community centers across Singapore, including areas in the west (Jurong, Bukit Batok, Clementi) and other central locations. Slots are subject to court booking and coach schedule. Please contact us to find a suitable time and venue near you.
Are private lessons suitable for competitive players?
Yes. For competitive school players, private coaching provides the tactical analysis and advanced drills (like deception and consistency under pressure) that school training may miss. We tailor the intensity to match competition requirements.
