Players should use different types of serves to vary their skills throughout the game and to ensure that their opponent will not predict which serves they are next going to perform. You can use an overhead clear to push the opponent to the back of the badminton court; it gives an opportunity to return an offensive shot. Angling the shuttlecock away from the player makes it harder for the opponent to reach the shuttle cock.
Players should be positioned in the centre of the court so they can quickly either run forwards or backwards to receive the ball. To do this you can hit the ball to the opposite side of where your opponent is to make them run all over the court. Agility is useful because you have to be in the position to be in the middle of the court.
There are many types of shots for offensive play example forehand and backhand serves, overhead clears, underarm serves, drop shots, net shots, smash shots and angling shots. Players should vary their shots and try to include all of them during a game. In addition to keeping the opponent on the move you should analyse his shots. Learn to anticipate what shot your opponent is going to perform in a given situation and mould your game accordingly particularly cross-court drives, so you can intercept them and maintain the attack.

For offensive play I used net shots, which are where I stood at the very front of the net so when the opponent tries to score I could hit it to the very back of the court. This was effective because the opponent had no chance of returning the shuttle. I also used smash shots, which is when I smashed the shuttlecock to the floor. This also achieved the same result of effectiveness as the opponent had no chance of returning the shuttle. I was better at performing the smash shot as I am strong. I’m not as good at the net shots as I am not good at receiving the shuttle
