About Badminton Coaching
We’re all about building players, not just teaching shots. Our roots lie in Prakash Padukone’s legacy, so you’ll feel the blend of discipline and passion every time you walk into our courts.
Our Approach
- We don’t do one-size-fits-all. Whether you’re a total rookie, a parent sending your kid, or an adult wanting to relive old badminton days, there’s a clear path here.
- For kids, we keep it playful and creative - balloon drills, fun games, and slowly building up real skills.
- If you already know your basics, the focus shifts to strategy, technique and game awareness.
- The high-performance badminton program is another level: long hours, feather shuttles, plenty of sparring, and a shot at scholarships if you show real promise.
- Adults? No judgement. Classes are relaxed but still push you to improve and enjoy the game.
What Sets Us Apart
- Our curriculum is built directly around Prakash Padukone coaching style, so it’s not just about on-court drills but also taking responsibility and being proactive.
- Fitness is big here. “Fitness Friday” is a thing, just warning you - you’ll sweat.
- We use AI for skill assessment, so you get honest feedback and a clear way to track progress.
Coaches & Community
- Our coaches are certified, experienced and genuinely invested in your growth.
- Sometimes international coaches drop by, and Prakash sir himself keeps an eye on things.
- We’ll guide you, but the hustle has to be yours. If you’re ready, so are we.

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.
