About Badminton Coach Certification
Why I Do This
Every champion has someone behind them who’s been through the grind. At Padukone School of Badminton, I carry forward Prakash Padukone’s legacy - not just teaching, but shaping people who lead, inspire, and build winners both on and off the court.
How I Train Coaches
- I offer a step-by-step coaching certification pathway. Whether you’re a newbie or you’ve already got some experience, there’s a spot for you.
- All practical sessions happen at the Padukone Dravid Centre For Sports Excellence in Bengaluru. That’s where the real work goes down.
- My beginner level is a mix of online stuff and actual on-court action. Intermediate is for those ready to get serious - it’s fully hands-on, more advanced techniques.
- For folks already coaching, I run upskilling workshops and internal programs. You never stop learning here, trust me.
What You Learn
- My badminton coaching curriculum covers way more than just technical drills. I start with coaching methodology, then get you moving with on-court training so you know how to actually show and teach each skill.
- You’ll also get strength and conditioning for badminton from our S&C coach - expect agility drills, muscle activation, all that jazz.
- The best part? You learn as much from each other as you do from me, and we keep things fun. If you’re bored, I messed up.
Where This Leads
- This isn’t just another certificate - it’s a pathway. My certification is recognized across India.
- If you want to be a certified badminton instructor or join our coaching team, you’ll get priority.
If you’re ready to hustle, I’m here for it.

My Story
We started with a simple thought - keep the Padukone legacy alive, you know? Deepika Padukone kicked it off, with Prakash Padukone guiding us. He made badminton look easy, but it’s all hard work. Our courts in Bengaluru, Mumbai, Jaipur, Gurugram, Sangli - every place has stories. Like a kid nailing footwork or a coach feeling proud. We believe talent is everywhere. Our job? Make sure no one gets missed. Still feels like day one, honestly.
My Work
Badminton coaching, certification & tournaments - We run programs for beginners to pros, certify coaches, and host tournaments from corporate to national level.
Holistic badminton training for all ages - Kids (7+), adults, high-performance athletes - we have weekday and weekend batches for every level.
Skill, conditioning, and slacklining drills - We focus on technique, strength, agility, and balance. Expect wall sits, rallies, and slacklining in your sessions.
Expert coaches, OGQ certified - Our team includes experienced coaches, Indonesian trainers, and sometimes Prakash sir himself drops in.
AI-powered player assessment - We use tech to spot talent early, fix flaws, and keep training fair for everyone.
