Objective: Volley a birdie consecutively with a partner

Badminton Unit | Level 23

TECHNIQUE
Today we are going to learn how to volley a birdie consecutively with a partner.

IMPORTANCE
Volleying a birdie consecutively with a partner is important because the increased repetition improves your ability to receive the birdie and go quickly from defense to offense. 

VOCABULARY
Volley: a strike of the birdie made before it touches the ground.

When volleying a birdie consecutively with a partner, it is important to:

1. Start in the ready position (feet shoulder width apart, knees bent, racket and non-racket hand out in front of you). 

2. Strike the birdie out in front of your body by snapping your wrist.

3. Do not let the birdie hit the ground.

PRACTICE

  1. I will divide the class into teams of two. Ro Sham Bo to decide who will start with the birdie first. One teammate will line up on the baseline and the other on the midline. When I say, “GO!” the first teammate will strike the birdie with the racket towards his/her teammate. Continue to hit the birdie back and forth as many times as you can.
  2. Repeat as many times as needed.
