This is only a rough guess at your doubles level based on your answers, not an official grading. Socials grade levels in their own way, so if you're unsure, ask the organiser.

The four levels at a glance

Socials on LoveMyBadminton list the levels they suit. As a rough guide:

DBeginner

New to badminton or still building the basics. You can keep a friendly rally going, but clears often land mid-court and the backhand is a work in progress.

Beginner socials →

CIntermediate

Consistent clears to the back of the court, plus drops and smashes. You know low and flick serves and basic doubles positions.

Intermediate socials →

BIntermediate High

You place your shots on purpose, return most smashes and move well in long rallies. You understand doubles rotation. This level sits between intermediate and advanced, so you can try either as you improve.

Int. High socials →

AAdvanced

Deceptive shots, steep smashes and fast footwork to every corner. Smooth attack and defence rotation in doubles.

Advanced socials →
