Drills for Students:BadmintonShane Weatherby was a professional ballet dancer for fifteen years, rising to the rank of Principal by 21. Now retired from dancing, he is a very experienced high school teacher majoring in physical education and dance. Shane has brought his understanding of refined skill acquisition to many sportsand coaches’ badminton for many organisations.In badminton, skill acquisition develops fasterfor students when an ‘authentic’environment is used. This is due to the increased arousal levels students’experience in ‘authentic’environments. In association with increased arousal levels, students playing badminton face the uncertainty of movement within the court spaceand intercepting the flight of the shuttleusing skills varying from cognitive to autonomous. Thefollowing drills and associated skills enforce a competitive environment against self and peers, with progressive skill acquisition and greater control of arousal levels developed duringtechnical, drill and game play environments.Badminton court dimensionsWith respect tothe following list of exercises(1-11), drills1-4are played in a ‘controlled environment’that focusesprimarily on specific skills, whereas drills 5-10 use modified game play to target and demonstrate skills, tactics and game-play.Actual competitive game play;best of three to twenty-one or first to thirty-one is not among the drills listed but is obviously the prime example of ‘authentic’ game play. All of thesedrillsare assessable in a variety of ways, and this process would increase students’ arousal levels; adding to the ‘authentic’ environment.460mm 5.18m460mm760mm3.96m 1.98m 1.98m 3.96m 760mm6.1m13.4mRight servicecourtLeft servicecourtRight servicecourtLeft servicecourtBack boundary line and long service line for singlesService line for doublesSideline for singlesSideline for doublesShort service lineCentre line for netShort service lineService line for doublesBack boundary line and long service line for singlesNet (Height 1.55m)
DrillEquipmentTeaching cues/Teaching focusAuthenticEnvironment1Drill: Crocodile (Shaded area indicates the playing zone for the activity)Skills: Drop-shot and lungingTime frame:5-10 minutes This activity develops the students’ drop-shot and lunging abilities. It is a competition challenge and targets the drop-shot; rewarding attacking and defensive skills.This is an ‘authentic’drill that replicates recovering an active stance ‘back’ from the net after a drop-shot.It is called ‘Crocodile’ because students need to have quick feet to get clear of the drop-zone (river) for the next shot or they get caught (by the crocodile).How to playStudents need to keep the shuttle ‘alive’ by performing consecutive drop-shots. Only one leg is allowed to be in the ‘Drop-zone’ during play. Both playersneed to have both feet outside of the ‘Drop-zone’ before play commences, and after each drop-shot.Play is commenced with a serve anywhere into the ‘Drop zone’Points are scored as a pair and as an individual(first to 11)Pair scoringPoints are awarded to a pair for:The total amount of consecutive, high quality drop shots (drop shots that do not float too high above the net –anything over sixinches is too high) Individual scoringPoints are awarded to a player if they:Play an unreturnable drop shotFlick a poor drop-shot from their opponent into the drop-zone (a flick is a fast backhand or forehand wrist-smash)Their opponents places both feet in the drop-zoneTheir opponent does not remove their lunging leg from the drop-zone before their next shot Increased complexityThis game is much harder one-on-one using a full court (double line optional)Badminton court or similar spaceUp to four players on one court.Two per side; half court.One per side; full court.RacquetsShuttlesMarking criteria or other to record and assess students’ current and progressive ability.Returnthe racquet head to a neutral position in front of the body. This allows you to change from backhand to forehand quicklyLearnto identify which leg best suits entering the ‘Drop-zone’ for specific shotsDuringone-on-one challenges, drop-shots across the net diagonally away from your opponent force them to move greater distances, increasing your chances of winning a pointKeepthe knees bent and use fast, light footwork
