Objective: Drive shot

Badminton Unit | Level 35

TECHNIQUE
Today we are going to learn a drive shot.

IMPORTANCE
A drive shot is important because it is an attacking shot used commonly in doubles to keep the birdie low. A flat and fast drive shot can help get the birdie behind your opponent or cause your opponnet to make a weak return.

VOCABULARY
Drive: the stroke by which the birdie is driven.  

When using a drive shot, it is important to:

PRACTICE

1. I will divide the class into pairs. With your partner, Ro Sham Bo to decide who will serve the birdie first. When I say, "GO!" begin volleying the birdie while keeping the birdie flat over the net to practice your drive shot.  

OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing 2 v 2 Scrimmage. In this game, the objective is to hit a fast and flat drive shot to help your team win the rally.  

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into teams of two and will assign your team 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 team can only hit the birdie once before returning it back over the net.
• Servers rotate each serve.
• 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 are some adjectives that describe a drive shot?
  • Are you confident in your ability to hit a drive shot?
  • Why or why not?

OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing Challenger. In this game, the objective is to use a drive shot during your challenge with the all-star team.   

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into teams of two.  
• I will choose one team to begin as the all-stars.
• Everyone else will form a single-file line on one side of the court.
• The all-stars will compete against the other teams until a challenging team wins.
• When I say, “GO!” the all-stars will serve to the first challenging team in line.
• If the birdie hits the ground, lands out-of-bounds, or is caught in the net, that team loses the rally and must go to the end of the line.
• The team to win the rally will stay on the court and the next challenging team in line will play.
