Lesson details
Key learning points
- Move: snapping the wrist on overhead shots turns a clear into a smash.
- Think: for a legal serve, the shuttle must be hit underarm and below the waist.
- Think: hitting to your opponent's backhand and to the back of the court increases winning opportunities.
- Feel: taking responsibility for your actions shows commitment.
- Connect: helping others to remember and correctly apply the rules requires collaboration.
Keywords
Clear - a shot played from the back of the court, up high and deep into your opponent's half
Net fault - if any player touches the net with their body, racket or clothing during the rally, they lose the point
Notational analysis - studying movement patterns, strategy and tactics that result in winning or losing points
Common misconception
Pupils call their score first and get confused which side they should serve from.
You should always call the serving player's/team's score first. If their score is even, then they serve from the right, whereas if their score is odd, they serve from the left.
