      Net and wall games: understand effective performance in badminton

      Think: evaluation, analysis and reflection
      Move: application of tactics, strategies and compositional ideas

      Why this why now

      Pupils will already have developed their hand-eye coordination and racket skills in badminton with a focus on problem solving to win points and increasing proficiency with serves, clears and smashes. Pupils will have been introduced to analysing performance in racket sports to identify strengths and weaknesses. Later in net and wall games they will transfer ideas and learn new techniques in tennis and table tennis.

      Prior knowledge requirements

      • Pupils know the importance of composure and balance before serving and moving back to the middle of the court between every shot.
      • Pupils understand how to vary their court placement in doubles to attack and defend.
      • Pupils are able to hit a distinctly different overhead clear and overhead smash by always being sideways on but varying the amount of wrist snap and follow through direction.
      • Pupils show an ability to work well with others to self-officiate games of singles and doubles fairly.
