Why DD Sports
Coaching with a plan, not just court time
Plenty of places will rent you a court and feed you shuttles. Six things make this an academy instead.
02Small batches
Small groups, real coaching time
Batches are kept small enough that every player gets corrected in every session, with enough shuttles to go round rather than queueing for a turn.
03Proper courts
Championship-grade courts
Full-height ceilings so a proper clear can travel, and no cross-draught to push the shuttle off line.
04Same-day stringing
Pro shop on site
Get your racket strung to your tension while you train, try court shoes on an actual court, and take advice from a coach who has no incentive to oversell you.
05Tournament entries
A genuine tournament pathway
We enter players in district and state circuits, handle the paperwork, and travel with the squad.
06One coach
The head coach takes every session
You are not handed to an assistant once you have enrolled. David coaches the whole pathway himself, which is why corrections carry over from one block to the next.

Your coach
Every session, with the head coach himself.

David coaches every batch at DD Sports Academy himself — from a five-year-old's first grip through to squad players preparing for tournaments. One coach across the whole pathway means nothing gets lost when a player moves up a level.

Inside a session with David
- 01
Warm-up and movement
Footwork and mobility first. Conditioning is part of the sport here, not an optional extra.
- 02
Technique block
Grip, footwork and stroke shape, in a small group — so every player is corrected, not just watched.
- 03
Game situations
Drills turn into rallies and match play: net play, doubles rotation and shot choice under pressure.
- 04
One thing to take home
Every player leaves knowing what to work on, and it's picked up again next session — nothing gets lost.
“The players receive good instruction regardless of their skill level or level of fitness. … The coach is very knowledgeable about badminton.”
