    Title tells of my problem, no court/net to play with

    This leaves me with training without a net/ court.

    I'm thinking wrist and footwork training, as well as wall training?

    What do you all think?
    Thanks

    I don't know that any badminton-specific training is going to be particularly constructive without a court.
    You're probably better off just doing more general fitness training - ie. running/cycling/swimming/weight training/etc.

    On my off days without a court/net, i work mostly on my fitness - especially on my legs.

    Shadow play helps you a lot especially in footwork which can be done in any open areas as big as one side of the court; or you can follow this link for plyometrics training:

    You can do shadow play anywhere you have enough space. Just mark the corners of the court with something.

    I've done some practice with footwork, and leg strength

    I live at an apartment complex so I cannot really drive against the sides of the buildings (people inside might not appreciate it)

    I have however, found a solution, there is a tennis court with no net, that we've just recently started playing at.
    I will probably take video of myself playing with a friend to get some feedback from ya'll.
