What you’ll learn
I can play a recognised game of badminton applying all major rules
Key learning points
- Move: snapping the wrist on overhead shots turns a clear into a smash.
- Think: for a legal serve, the shuttle must be hit underarm and below the waist.
- Think: hitting to your opponent's backhand and to the back of the court increases winning opportunities.
- Feel: taking responsibility for your actions shows commitment.
- Connect: helping others to remember and correctly apply the rules requires collaboration.
Words to know
- clear
- a shot played from the back of the court, up high and deep into your opponent's half
- net fault
- if any player touches the net with their body, racket or clothing during the rally, they lose the point
- notational analysis
- studying movement patterns, strategy and tactics that result in winning or losing points
Common mistakes
Pupils call their score first and get confused which side they should serve from.
You should always call the serving player's/team's score first. If their score is even, then they serve from the right, whereas if their score is odd, they serve from the left.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Build a routine where pupils set up courts as soon as they arrive and return to cooperative rallies in pairs to beat their best score each week. Aim to self-assess and differentiate courts to ensure you can spend most time supporting whilst capable players are playing or coaching each other.
