Tutorial Notes

The document summarizes key points from the first 5 weeks of a badminton tutorial, including dividing the court for games, warm-up drills, overhead strokes, footwork, serving rules, and doubles strategy. Defensive shots like the block are meant to regain the attack by returning shots low over the net. Doubles play requires awareness of partner positioning and covering the court from both front and back. The goal is to get shots low to the other side and vary placement, power, and rallying to create opportunities for winning shots.

Tutorial Notes

Tutorial notes have been summarised from the first 5 weeks of the badminton tutorial sessions. Key
information is included throughout other sections of the resource file, as indicated by a star (*), as
well as in this tutorial notes section.

Week 1
Game Type: Divided Court – Common Objectives and Demands
Group Discussion:
- Object/barrier between players – divides the court
- Objectives are to get the playing ball/object over the barrier and into the other person’s side,
without them returning it.
- Involves continuous play over the barrier

Definition
Strategy: an overall plan prepared in advance which should take account of your own and opposing
strengths and weaknesses

Tactic: pre-planned ideas for small units as well as flexible in-game responses to changing events

Week 2
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.

- What tactics need to be ‘taught’ to more effectively get the shuttle? – on toes, in ready
position, reaction time, arm stretched out to retrieve shuttle

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.
- 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 opponent’s game

Forehand Clear KTP’s


- Get under 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

Drop Shot KTP’s


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

Week 3
1. Summary of footwork required for different shots

Badminton – Starting the point of attack (Group Discussion)


Student Check KTP’s
Grip Drop shuttle
Use of cocked hand Flick wrist
Eye on the shuttle on contact Follow through
Angle of racket face Land shuttle as close as possible to base line
Weight transference
Follow through
Laws

Service Rules (Summary)


• When score is even, the server serves from the right, when it is odd, server serves from the left
• The player who wins the point is to serve next
• Head of the racquet must be blow the knuckles and below the waist
• Both feet must be on the ground
• Receiver must be stationary
Week 4
1. Warm up
Badminton – Winning the point (Cont. from last week)

Court Area ½ a badminton court

Conduct Rules Use a high serve to midcourt

Procedural Rules Server-5 Receiver-7. Points are scored for each rally – allocating points gives
motivation for students to gain more points than opposition – what shots to use to get points
quickly? – long rally to drag it out vs. quick shot to win? – either how to win when down, or how
to maintain lead and win

Tactical Solution Awareness of when to attack a weak serve or clear.

Attack: Where can you smash from most easily? – person needs to be outside the line of the
shuttle
What kind of shot are you looking for from your opponent?

2. Defensive and Counter-Attack Strokes

Defensive and Counter-Attack Strokes


- The Block
- The push
- The drive

a) Defensive Stance

Student Check
Hold racket in the ready position
Wait with backhand grip
Step onto racket foot for shuttles wide to right or left
Play of the nearest foot for shuttles close to the body
Get low for the shuttle

b) The Block
Aim: Return an opponent’s attacking stroke low over the net with the objective
of regaining the attack.

KTP’s
Feet Square and racket head up to receive smash (Defensive position)
Firm wrist
Drop shuttle into front court

Week 5
1. Net Shot Game
Play 1V1 using a low serve followed by play limited to the area between the net and the front
service line
(Fig 1) – development for doubles play

Fig 1 Fig 2 – set up game situation to see if students will move

Defensives vs. attacking lob – what is best for my tactical strategy

2. Development
Introduce partner. (Fig. 2)

Games for Understanding Approach (GU)


Play 1V1 using a low serve followed by play limited to the area between the net and the front
service line
After a given number of shots from the front court play an attacking lob and play the rally out

Discuss the merits of the various positions it is possible to adopt after the attacking lob
- Front and back of court - where players stand
- Space becomes to the sides, rather than forward and back as it is in singles

4. The Doubles Game


Players may need to slow the game down and play co-operation doubles to learn court
positioning in relation to:
a) the intention of the shot played from their side;
b) positioning with partner to cover possible replies.

Sections of the game with appropriate court positioning can be rehearsed and then put back
into the whole game. For areas of responsibility for players in attacking and defensive
formations see Fig 3

REMEMBER
The basic principles:
• Whenever possible get the shuttle low on the other side of the net (See Fig 6).
• Develop an aggressive approach, but vary placement and power.
• Treat good shots with respect, but try to reply with a
good shot from your side to increase your chances of
winning.
• Be prepared to rally until you get the chance to play a
winning shot.
• Get to the shuttle early.
