CAS Strand: Activity

At the beginning of the session, students will work on the basic skills of the sport and then they will identify their weaknesses and strengths relative to badminton. There are a series of drills available for students to improve their weaknesses and over the course of the term. An example of this is serving. Students often enter the CCA with imperfect serving technique. As serving is one of the most important skills for doubles, students will spend much time trying to improve their doubles serving skills. Overhead smashing, drop shots and net play are also areas where students can improve their skills. Every student can identify their strengths and weaknesses and try to improve on this over the course of the term. Most badminton sessions spend the first part of the session on skill development and the second part of the session on games. Students enjoy the games but the games also provide an opportunity to see progress in skill development.
