Games for understanding A tactical games approach
Participating in DC1/DC2 and through appropriate teacher questions students will become familiar with the level of strategic and
tactical complexity required for divided court games. Students at the Middle Childhood and Early Adolescence phase of
development should be directed to setting up an attack by creating space on the opposite side of the net and on defending space
on their own side of the net. Creating and defending space are two tactical problems fundamental to the game of badminton.
Experience will inform the teacher when to introduced their students to the skills and game of Badminton.

DC 5 Badminton Developing the Defensive & Offensive Strategies of Space and Time
Procedural Rules Introduce underhand shot and service line to begin the game of cooperative singles.
High and deep OHC OHC play the point out
Tactical Solution
Attack: Understand the value of forcing opponent back.
More power can be generated from overhead shots*
Creating space
Q Where are the available spaces A Front & Back
Q Is it harder to attack from the Ft or Bk court A Bk court
* Inside the fight of the shuttle. This should dictate court position. Turn side-on to play the OHC
Overhead Strokes
There are 3 overhead strokes, each of which has different methods of application
Clear defensive/standard/attacking
Drop fast/slow
Smash long/steep
All overhead strokes should be approached the same way. The aim is to threaten as if to smash and then, as late as possible,
adjustments should be made to play another shot.
Conduct Rules Maintain overhead rally forcing your opponent onto their backhand
Cooperative singles. High and deep OHC OHC play the point out
Tactical Solution How can you force your opponent back if the shuttle does not come to your strong forehand side
* Students take up a position or run around their backhand to receive the shuttle on their forehand. This will hopefully
emphasise the open space in the forehand court
Conduct Rules High serve OHC OHC - drop shot as opening moves. Then play the point out
