Tactical Focus:
Setting up for attack
|
 |
Set up on a tennis court with 6 numbered hoops on the court opposite the participant. |
|
The participant will attempt to strike and send a ball into one of the target hoops. |
|
Once a ball has landed in one of the hoops, that hoop is now out of play. |
|
How many serves does it take to hit all 6 hoops? Play a number of times and try to reduce the number of trials it takes to have the ball land in each of the 6 hoops. |
|
 |
 |
|
Speed Serve: Set a time frame - can you hit all six hoops in under a minute? |
|
You've Been Served - Badminton Style: How many trials does it take to land a badminton birdie into each of the 6 hoops on a badminton court. |
|
Defender You've Been Served - A player attempts to defend each of the hoops to avoid ball either landing inside the hoop or returning a serve after it lands inside one of the hoops |
|
You've Been Served for Points - Assign a point value for each of the hoops ... players try to score as many points as possible with 10 serves ... players are allowed to hit the ball to the same hoop more than once |
|
|
 |
|
What type of serves are most difficult to return? |
|
Serves that are places on the line, in the corners, fast serves, and serves that just skim the net. |
|
|
 |
|
The location of the participant on the court may vary along the baseline of the court |
|
Use a short-handled striking implement for more control. |
|
More or less hoops can be employed. |
|
Use a larger, yet light, ball to increase the chance of making contact with the ball. |
|
Remove the net |
