Dear friends,

probably some of you experienced some problems in explaining your students or partners what they must do on the court. Probably you dreamed about some drowing device for that purpose.

You can easily do it yourself, as I did.

I have printed the image of court on a A4 sheet of paper, cut a piece of tin (from old tea can, but this arbitrary :) ), placed them in a transparent plastic file, and sticked it with a piece of tape. Then I've bought a set of coloured magnets, easily erasable whiteboard marker, and porolone sponge.

You can see the result on the attached image.

Also you can follow this link to find thoroughly painted badminton court image (http://www.ferber.ru/badminton/court.gif) scaled so that 1 pixel is equal to 1 centimetre.

Well done Michael; it's people like you who bring this sport forward with innovations like this. I'm sure there are equivalent devices, and I've tried using a board and pen, but I've never thought of taking it that little stage further!

I'm sure that coaches on the forum can benefit from this enormously.

Aleik.

Excellent! :D :D

The link is broken.

Im wondering if anyone else has a to-scale picture of the badminton court?

I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

Hi JChen,

I just tested the link, and it's still working. ;)

Hi Micheal,

This is good. I admire coaches with such initiatives. Just to let you know coaching is an art, it is not see and copy. So with your initiatives I am sure you will be a very successfully coach.

You have this quality.

CHEERS

Michael,
This is really handy and neat!
Excellent! We need more innovative coaches like you.
Thanks

Yes very innovative and useful thanks a lot :D:D
