Tutorial Two
Games for understanding – A tactical games approach

 Introduce SEPEP season – Committee allocation - Week 3 Selection and fixtures

 Resource file – Service rule and service sequence of singles and doubles

Service Rule:

In badminton, the serve must be hit in an upwards direction, with an underarm hitting action. You are not
allowed to play a tennis style serve. The main rule is that when you hit the shuttle, it must be below your
waist.

There is a right and left service box that the shuttle cock must land in for it to be deemed a legal serve. The
singles service box is made from the centre line, singles side line (inside side line), the service line and the
back line (outside). The doubles service box is made up of the centre line, the doubles side line (outside
side line), the service line and the inside back line.

The server must stand inside a service court to serve the ball while the receiver must stand inside the
diagonally opposite service court. The serve must travel into the diagonally opposite box.

Service Sequence:

- First serve occurs from the right service box and only the player standing in the proper service court may receive it.
- Following the serve players can move wherever they wish
- A player continues to serve (alternating service boxes) if they continue to score points
- When the score is even the server serves from the right service court. When it is odd they serve from the left court
- If the serving side wins a rally, they score a point and the same player serves again from the alternate service court
- If the receiving side wins a rally, they also earn a point and the right to serve. The players do not change service courts
until they have won a point as the serving side

Warm up – Footwork and Movement

In pairs facing each other (shuttle at the end of each line)

One of the pair decides to touch the side line or collect the shuttle before the other.
Gets students in crouched position with loaded legs ready to move quickly in either direction
reacting to their partner

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 introduce their students to the skills and game of Badminton.
DC3. Badminton - Half Court Singles Game (continuation from Week 1)

Court Area – ½ court

Conduct Rules –
Shake hands before and after the game finishes (fair play)
Agree on the court dimensions before the game begins ie. On the line will be in.
Being respectful of oppositions decisions
Working together cooperatively to keep score

HPE2204 Semester 2 2018

 Procedural Rules – One hand to pick up the shuttlecock, players start on the midline and aim to collect the shuttle before
their partner

Tactical Solution
Attack:
Quick first action

Defence:
Remain in the ready position ready to read opponents direction

No comment is made about racquet parts or grip. Grip can be corrected individually (Frying pan grip)
Beginning the game is a difficult skill for some students. Modified equipment will help.

DC4 Badminton – Pushing the opponent back (Overhead Clear)

Court Area – ½ court

Conduct Rules -
Shake hands before and after the game finishes (fair play)
Agree on the court dimensions before the game begins ie. On the line will be in.
Being respectful of oppositions decisions
Working together cooperatively to keep score

Procedural Rules
If students aren’t moving enforce a rule that both students must start with a foot on the service line. The server will serve high and
deep which will teach students to move back efficiently and then play the point.

Tactical Solution
Attack:
The person at the net is in control if the lob doesn’t force them back they will smash it and win the point.
Attacking shots are above the net.

Defence:
Central court position and reading of shuttle’s flight path

Create a situation where the students are required to play an Overhead Clear
DC 5 Badminton – Developing the Defensive & Offensive Strategies of Space and Time

Court Area ½ a badminton court

Conduct Rules Alternate Serve & score a point if student wins the rally

Procedural Rules Introduce underhand shot and service line to begin the game of cooperative singles.
High and deep – OHC – OHC play the point out
Alternate serve

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

Defence: Create time

Deny and control the space
Q Where is base position A Centre towards bk of court.
Q Is it easier to send the shuttle to the rear of the court with an under arm or overhead shot
A Overhead*

* Inside the fight of the shuttle. This should dictate court position. Turn side-on to play the OHC

Overhead Strokes

HPE2204 Semester 2 2018

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.

 Body in balance behind the shuttle

 Grip - cocked hand
 Eye on shuttle
 Angle of racket face
 Where to strike the shuttle in relation to body*
 Weight transfer
 Follow through & recovery of racket and body
 The player should be aware of the effect of the shot on their opponents game

Forehand Clear KTP’s

 Get under & inside the flight of the shuttle using efficient footwork (long strides)*
 Line up shuttle with non-hitting arm
 Break the elbow
 Throw the racket head at the shuttle & Snap the wrist

DC 6 Badminton – Pushing the opponent back (Backhand)

Court Area ½ a badminton court

Conduct Rules Maintain overhead rally forcing your opponent onto their backhand
Cooperative singles. High and deep – OHC – OHC play the point out

Procedural Rules Alternate service & score every serve

Tactical Solution How can you force your opponent back if the shuttle does not come to your strong forehand side

Attack: Creating space

Where are the spaces?
Is it harder for your opponent to attack from their forehand or backhand side?

Defence: Create time

Lean across or be in a position on court and play the shuttle on your forehand.
Return the shuttle to your opponents’ backhand

* 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

DC 7 Badminton – Introduce the drop shot

HPE2204 Semester 2 2018

Court Area ½ a badminton court

Conduct Rules High Serve - OHC - Drop Shot - as opening moves. Then play the point out.

Development High Serve - OHC - OHC - Drop Shot - as opening moves. Then play the point out

Procedural Rules Alternate service & score every serve. Hold position after returning the deep serve, this encourages the drop
shot into the space at the front of the court.

Tactical Solution Awareness of available space at front of opponent’s court

Attack: Where is the space you can attack to win a point?

What are the advantages of disguise?

Defence: Create time

Lean across and play the shuttle on your forehand

Drop Shot KTP’s

Disguise and prepare as forehand clear
Stiff wrist on contact
Shuttle should land between net and service line.

Focus was to take you through as beginning teachers, wouldn’t do this with year 10’s. instead you should assess where they’re at
and go from there.
