Practices

Autumn 2025

The training sessions take place at Dragvoll and Gløshaugen idrettsbygg, and we offer training for all levels.

We also have a recreational option at Gløshaugen idrettssbygg that only requires a SiT membership. This can be booked through SiT’s website, and a representative from the club will be present.

The schedule is valid from the 5th of January.

Levels

Level C – Beginner Level
This level is for players who mainly train to have fun. Most players in this group want to play matches during practice, and there is little focus on development and technique. Anyone can be placed at this level, including completely new players.
There will be no coach-led sessions at Level C – the focus is on play, well-being, and enjoyment.

Level B – Intermediate Level
This level is for players who have not learned everything yet but want to develop and improve. Any player with a desire to get better can be placed here.
At Level B, more structured training is introduced, including exercises such as:

  • Feeding
  • Different types of shots
  • Shot variation
  • Doubles rotations
  • Here, play and training are combined to build skills.

Level A – Advanced Level
This level is for the most experienced players in the club. Players at this level have a good understanding of feeding, master doubles play at a solid level, and can vary their shots effectively.
Extra focus is placed on:

  • When and how different shots should be used
  • The difference between doubles and singles play
  • More intensive training

Doubles play is prioritized, as this is what is mostly used during training sessions.

Advancement and Assessment
The coaches ultimately decide whether players should be moved up a level, as they have the best overview of the differences in playing level.
It is always possible to contact the head of sports to ask what is required in order to be promoted to the next level.

Recreational trainings

The “mosjonist”-trainings or recreational trainings are for everybody who has a valid SiT-membership. This means that if you want to bring your friends to badminton, who are not a member of NTNUI Badminton, this is the training to do it. Registration for these sessions will take place in Sit Trening’s group sessions. All other tranings are closed to members only, and if someone wants to try out badminton at another day, without being a member, this has to be cleared with the board.
