# Quick Start! Badminton Doubles Novice Serving Attack Tactics and Connection Skills
This article explains practical skills of attacking after serving for beginners of badminton doubles, targeting their common problems in serving and passive opening stages: 1. **Core Concept**: Attack immediately after serving, leaving no time for opponents to adjust, which even beginners can master quickly. 2. **Basic Steps** First practice backhand serving short to the net: keep your grip relaxed and flexible, use slight wrist power during serving to land the ball within 10 centimeters of the opponent’s front service line, and try to aim at the sideline areas to avoid open spaces. After serving, take a reasonable position: the server should stand between the center line and the front service line to cover the net, while the partner stands in the back half-court to protect open spaces. Seize the opportunity to smashes when opponents return high shots near the net, or jump smashes when they return clear shots. Also master the connection skills: return to the midfield immediately after each shot, cooperate to fill vacancies between the net and backcourt, use flat drives and blocks to control the rhythm, and get back to the standard position promptly to reorganize after a mistake. 3. **Pitfall Avoidance**: Avoid three common mistakes among beginners: serving clear shots, staying still right after serving, and attacking too impatiently. 4. **Practice Methods**: Practice backhand serving against the wall for 10 minutes every day, practice serving and net attacking coordination with your partner, and learn the rhythm by watching amateur doubles matches.

This article explains entry-level skills for badminton group game beginners from two aspects: tactics and scheduling. 1. **Serve-and-attack tactics**: Two easy-to-master serves are recommended first. The backhand net serve is ideal for beginners, who should stand near the net to prepare for a smash after serving. The forehand flat fast serve targets opponents standing deep, and the server should retreat to the midfield to follow up with attacks after serving. It is also emphasized to take corresponding positions after serving, avoid fixed serving patterns, comply with serving rules, and prioritize stability over speed. 2. **Group match scheduling**: The core of round-robin matches is one-on-one encounters. For even or odd numbers of participants, use fixed rotation to quickly make the schedule: fix position 1 and rotate others for even entries; fix player 1 to face a new opponent each round, pair the rest, with one player getting a bye per round for odd entries. Doubles scheduling follows the same logic. Remind to announce the schedule in advance, arrange physical strength reasonably, and check total matches. In conclusion, beginners can easily handle badminton group games by mastering these two points, and enjoy the competition through more practical matches.
