This unit develops Year 4 students' technical badminton skills whilst cultivating tactical awareness and decision-making. Students learn to control the shuttlecock using three core shots - forehand, overhead clear, and backhand - before applying these strategically in competitive contexts. The progression from isolated technique practice to creative shot-making and finally singles game play ensures students experience both skill mastery and meaningful competition.
