Professional Badminton Coaching and High-Intensity Training
See how we train our players. From multi-shuttle drills to match-winning smashes, here is a closer look at the intensity and technique behind our badminton programs.
We train our players to be explosive and powerful on the court. This clip shows an advanced player executing a perfect jump smash, a key attacking shot we develop through rigorous practice and strength conditioning.

Fitness is non-negotiable at our academy. Here, you can see our players engaged in agility and speed training, using hurdles and cones to improve their footwork, acceleration, and on-court endurance.

About Featured
We don't just rally; we drill. You will see our players using multi-shuttle feeding and agility ladders in every session. This routine is designed to mimic the speed of a real tournament, forcing you to adjust your footwork, reflexes, and shot selection in high-pressure scenarios.
Training Philosophy
At Citius Academy, we believe that technique without fitness is incomplete. Our programs are built around the concept of 'building the athlete' first. Whether you are a 5.5-year-old picking up a racquet for the first time or a state-level player training for the finals, our methodology remains the same: identify strengths, fix gaps, and repeat.
The 'Gear Up' Approach
- Multi-Shuttle Drills: This is the core of our competitive training. We eliminate downtime to ensure high-volume repetition, which is essential for muscle memory.
- Fitness & Conditioning: We follow our motto, 'Mehnat kar, pasina baha' (Work hard, sweat it out). Expect agility ladders, hurdle work, and core strengthening as part of your weekly regimen, not as an afterthought.
- Technical Refinement: Through video analysis and shadow drills, we break down your strokes to correct grip, stance, and follow-through mechanics.
Why Train With Us
Our Head Coach, Sunil Gannabathula, brings over 25 years of experience to the court. We don't believe in batch training where everyone does the same thing. We assess your current skill level—beginner, intermediate, or advanced—and slot you into a group that pushes you. With facilities in Koramangala and HSR Layout, we keep our coaching focused, maintaining small student-to-coach ratios to ensure you get the correction you need when you need it.
