    I play in 2 clubs, if I play to both full schedule it's 6 days a week. clinic / training Sat & Sun on top of club play. I usually go later in the club hours on Mon & Wed to wait for the crowd to thin out so I can play some singles / drills with my buddy. Hard to play for long on weekends cuz the gf will start mumbling gradually turning into a full on bitch fest :D

    Workout in the morning before work :) and then if my schedule permits play in the evening.

    Sun: 3 hours social play
    Wed: 2 hours training
    Thurs: 2 hours social play (on and off)
    Sat: 2 hours training

    How do people here get 4 hours of coaching per session? Unless you're in the state team/nearing competition, but private coaches usually offer just 2 hours a session no?

    Formerly Played / trained 7 days per week ranging from social sessions of 2-4 hours and training sessions of 3-4 hours. Due to continuous injury and lack of motivation stopped playing for 2 years. Now back training 3 days per week and hopefully will be able to increase over time back up to at least 5 days per week depending on fitness/competition results and my body condition.

    At one point, I had played for 13 days straight... Took a day off and played 7 more days after. This probably killed my knees in the process. I cut it down to 4 days a week, a day in between to rest.

    Right now only 2 hours on a monday, maybe another couple of hours if I can get a few people together to rent a court.

    Used to go to a competitive club in the summer as well but now they have started league games and I'm not good enough to compete with them yet :(

    Shame because badminton is such an addictive sport, only started in August and I already wish I could play every day :crying::crying:

    I once played 3x weekly for 2-3 hours each time, pretty much all singles and drills, and I really felt it in my knees after about the third straight month of it. As much as I love badminton, I had to cut it back to maintain my health for the long term if want to continue playing for years.

    I play everyday! This is my full time job so I do coaching/drills most days, play competitively about 8 hours a week but in total about 32 hours of badminton related activities :)

    Kindest regards,

    I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.
