Common mistakes
Pupils may struggle to hit the shuttlecock to the back of the court due to standing square on to the net. Pupils may avoid hitting backhand shots. Pupils may hit shuttlecock into the net.
Pupils must work on a side on position when hitting the shuttlecock to generate more power. Pupils should work on their backhand technique to develop confidence. Remove or reduce the height of the net if pupils are struggling.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Try to offer pupils smaller rackets and always consider reducing the size of the court or the height of the net to adapt the game and make it more accesible for pupils. Where possible, try to differentiate the groups by ability to ensure the games are competitive.
