Badminton requires open and fast movements towards the shuttlecock, but there is no specific agility test for badminton players with specific movements to assess the athlete's footwork ability. This leads to a lack of objective indicators to know the progress of the results of the exercises. Researchers aim to produce useful technology to measure the agility of badminton athletes as a tool of Footwork Test and Training. The method used is Research Development (RD). The test involved 26 badminton athletes in Bandung. After going through the validity test by experts (expert judgment) shows that the validation technology performed by 3 validators get a value of 95% can be categorized as very good.
