Badminton

The students are starting the unit of badminton. We play using traditional rules, modified for middle school.

Grade 5/6 will focus on the serve, forehand and backhand drive, lob (clear), and point system and faults with the aid of a faults list poster. The serve is typically the most challenging area for 5th and 6th grade. Any practice outside of school would be beneficial.

Grade 7/8 will focus on refining their skills and perfecting the strategic drop shot, and smash shot as well as in class tournaments. Students will become more familiar with the fault system without having to refer to the faults list. Strategic movement on the court develops.
