Advanced Shot Tactics
•Year 6
•Badminton
•Check all racquets for string tension and damage before lesson
Alternative: Tennis racquets for students with grip strength issues
Use plastic shuttles for drill work, reserve feather for game play
Alternative: Balloon shuttles for students with visual tracking difficulties
Mark clear boundaries for each court and service areas
Alternative: Chalk lines or tape for court boundaries
Shots played close to the net by both opponents, aiming to force errors or create winning opportunities
The speed at which a player responds to the shuttle's movement or opponent's shot
Keeping the racquet face pointing upward, ready to intercept and control the shuttle
A quick forward movement with one foot to reach a shot while maintaining balance
The central, ready position players return to after each shot
Understanding where pupils are coming from and where they're going
Using odd and even numbers for doubles service rules, measuring reaction times in seconds, calculating court angles for shot placement
Understanding reaction time and nervous system responses, forces and momentum in shuttle flight patterns, biomechanics of lunging movements
Court positioning and spatial awareness, understanding angles and directions for tactical shot placement
Teamwork and communication in doubles partnerships, resilience when making errors, fair play and sporting behaviour
Move between courts during game play, position at corner for full visibility during instruction phases
Watch for correct racquet positioning, reaction time improvement, and tactical application of skills
Step in when students show poor technique that might lead to injury or when competitive behaviour becomes inappropriate
Use slow-motion demonstrations for technique, normal speed for tactical examples, exaggerate key positions for visual clarity
