Badminton Unit | Level 29

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

IMPORTANCE
Volleying a birdie over a net 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 over a net consecutively with a partner, it is important to:

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.

OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing 3 v 3 Scrimmage. In this game, the objective is to volley a birdie over a net consecutively to the opposing team to keep it from landing on your side of the court.  

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into teams of three and will assign you to a court – one court will have a net and the rest will have short cones.
• Ro Sham Bo to decide which team will start serving.
• Once the birdie is served over the net, each student can only hit the birdie once before returning it back over the net.
• Servers rotate in a clockwise position.
• If the birdie is served and goes outside the boundary lines, it is the other team’s point. If the birdie touches the line, it is considered inbounds.
• We will keep rally scoring – a point is awarded on every serve.
• After each game, we will switch sides.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • After a couple of minutes, have teams rotate courts – every student will get to play on the net.
• ELL Accommodation:
  • Post labeled pictures of skills and game play.
  • Partner with proficient English speakers for directions/modeling and reflections. 
• SpEd Accommodation:
  • Set individual goals for physical or behavioral modifications. 
  • Allow students to demonstrate skill one-on-one with teacher.
  • Allow students extra time to master the skill.
• Reflection: 
  • What should you remember while volleying a birdie over a net consecutively with a partner?
  • How might you encourage your partner if he/she was struggling to volley the birdie with you?

OBJECTIVE

• When I say, "GO!" the server will underhand serve the birdie across the net.
• The birdie must be returned over the net each time.
• If the birdie touches the ground the student receives a letter “S-Q-U-A-R-E”.
• A new round always begins with an underhand serve.
• We will begin a new game after five minutes.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • Increase the number of teams based on class size. Divide students into competitive and non-competitive groups.
