You should ask this question somewhere else besides Yahoo! Answers (too sportist to put badminton in its own category) but I think I have some tips to maybe help you out because I happen to have A LOT of badminton friends and I've been to quite a number of their practices (but I'm first and foremost a tennis player).

You might want to do some conditioning before you tryout because it involves a lot of running and foot drills as well as things like lunges, killers, etc. Depending on how the coach sets it up, you may or may not get to hit, and if so, then it's just rallys or one set matches against others just to see where you 're at in terms of skill level.

And of course, stretch before very game because it sucks to get a cramp or injure yourself and forfeit the game. It would also be good if you already developed your hits like forehand and backhand. If you're a beginner, don't attempt maneuvers like drop shots and smashes because chances are the bird (or shuttlecock, w/e) might not even make it over the net, or else land way outside (smash), or it gets hit back (smash and drops).  And make sure you don't hit at any bird that's most likely going out of bounds (a rookie mistake). Have good judgment on those things. But overall, just hit at your comfort level, and don't think about winning, just have fun.
