Tactical Focus:
Ready Position
|
 |
Set up a square placing one pylon in each corner of a badminton court (Can create two groups, one on each side of the badminton court). |
|
Place one pylon in the center of the square. |
|
Participants must start from middle pylon in the ready position. |
|
Participants will touch one corner pylon and run back to the middle pylon, touch another corner pylon, and run back and forth to the middle pylon until they have touched all 4 pylons. |
|
Participants must face forward at all times, working on their “ready position” each time they return to the middle pylon. |
|
Partner keeps track of how long it takes for participant to touch all four pylons. |
|
Goal is to touch all 4 pylons as quickly as possible. |
|
After each participant has completed one rotation, try again to beat the previous time. |
|
 |
 |
|
Hold a badminton racquet in hands, while completing the activity. |
|
Have a partner throw a ball or badminton birdie to the participant every time he returns to the middle pylon and he can try to catch the birdie in the air or catch the ball after one bounce. |
|
|
 |
|
Why is it important to return to the recovery position after hitting a shot? |
|
To ensure that you can cover the most space possible when on defense. |
|
So that you can get to different parts of the court in time to get the object. |
|
|
 |
|
Participants can practice different locomotor patterns such as walking, jumping, skipping and galloping to the pylons. |
|
Disregard the time limits and focus more on technique. |
|
Set up the pylons using half the badminton court. |
|
Provide frequent rest periods. |
|
Reduce the number of pylons. |
