Tutorial Two
Games for understanding A tactical games approach
Warm up Footwork and Movement
In pairs facing each other (shuttle at the end of each line)
One of the pair decides to touch the side line or collect the shuttle before the other.

Participating in DC1/DC2 and through appropriate teacher questions students will become familiar with the level of strategic and
tactical complexity required for divided court games. Students at the Middle Childhood and Early Adolescence phase of
development should be directed to setting up an attack by creating space on the opposite side of the net and on defending space
on their own side of the net. Creating and defending space are two tactical problems fundamental to the game of badminton.
Experience will inform the teacher when to introduced their students to the skills and game of Badminton.
