This module is designed to discover skills and knowledge that will help learners
develop and optimize a life-long health and fitness habit for physical activities such as
dance, individual, dual and combative sports.
Nowadays, students are less physically active because of different reasons; one of this is
due to COVID-19 pandemic. Also, with the advancement of technology they tend to do
more online games and social media which do not require body movement.
Physical education can help learners get through of anxieties and stress. It improves
confidence, self-esteem, discipline, and physiological, mechanical and psychological
mechanism through the development of motor behavior.
In order for learners to gain proficiency in this course, this course pack has been
structured into three modules as follows:
Learners in this course are expecting to go through each lesson in every module
successively to get the best out of their learning. They should work on all assessment
tasks to build on the concepts and skills of each topic introduced in each lesson
BEFORE YOU PROCEED with the first module of this course pack, I encourage you to
familiarize yourself with how the lessons are structured. In each module, lessons are
organized into four main sections, namely, Activity, Analysis, Abstraction, and
Application. Each section is systematically designed to help you take in the lessons with ease
and to ensure the attainment of the lesson’s objectives. Short descriptions of these sections
are given below.
ACTIVITY
Every lesson starts with an activity. Through these learning activities, you are expected to
apply what you already know and acquire new knowledge and skills. This will bring
understanding on what you learned from the
previous lessons or courses and give clarity on what you are about to learn as you go further
with the lesson.
ANALYSIS
Analysis precedes every activity. This section will enable you to process or analyze the
knowledge gained in the previous activity. It promotes a
broader view of the lesson and at the same time draws you closer to the main topics.
Questions will be provided to you to facilitate this particular thought process. You are
encouraged to write your answer on the spaces provided for each question. You can use
additional sheets of paper if necessary.
ABSTRACTION
The discussion proper begins in the abstraction. This section is entirely focused on the
presentation of the lesson reinforced with solved examples. In this section, you are expected
to demonstrate understanding of the lesson. Answers to the questions asked in the ‘analysis’
will also be addressed in this section as you go further with the lesson.
APPLICATION
The last section of each lesson is the application. This section encourages the practical
application of the lessons previously discussed. It describes
how you are going to use what you have previously learned. For the purpose of this module,
this section shall be considered as your graded quizzes.

History of Badminton
Different versions of badminton have been played for centuries, but it was the
game of "Poona" in India that was the basis for the game of badminton we play
Racket

The badminton racket is one of the most important tools a player has in the
game. Badminton rackets are much lighter than most other sports rackets because they
are made from materials such as carbon fiber or lighter metals such as aluminium.
Parts of the racket include the head, throat, shaft and handle with a maximum length
of 27.77 inches and a width of 9 inches. It Strings that are stretched across the
opening of the racket in a checkerboard pattern, which acts as the hitting surface.
Badminton rackets can vary widely in cost depending on whether they are purchased
as part of a basic backyard set or as more expensive professional models.

A mesh net divides the badminton court into two sides. A badminton net is
placed lower than a volleyball net at five feet and one inch high on the sides and five
feet high in the center. The length may vary depending on whether doubles or singles
are playing, with singles reaching 17 feet and doubles reaching 22 feet. The net is 30
inches wide with a 3-inch white tape doubled over the top.
Facilities

Well done! You have just finished Lesson 1 of this module. Should there be some
parts of the lesson which you need clarification, please ask your instructor during
your face- to-face or on-line interactions.
Now if you are ready, please proceed to Lesson 2 of this module which will
discuss fundamental skills in badminton.
Introduction
What are the fundamental skills in badminton? What would be the proper gripping
and serving in playing badminton? You will find the answers to these questions in
these lessons
Activity:
Remember some instances that you played Badminton, and then answer
the question below.
1. Have you been playing badminton before? How did you do it?
Abstraction
Badminton is a fairly easy game to learn and fun to play casually and competitively.
Basic badminton skills include learning how you hold the racket, serve the shuttle and
move your feet. You can practice drills to improve your game. Rules and scoring are
established for singles and doubles games.
Grip
You will want to learn how to hold your racket with the forehand to hit shuttles on
that side of your body and backhand to hit on the opposite side. You will use a
forehand grip to hit above your head as well. You can hit the shuttle using a backhand
grip with your elbow up or down. It is good to practice hitting with these grips to
improve your skills.
Footwork
Your footwork can bring more success to your game if you learn the basics of moving
on the court and practice them. Your ready position should include standing in the
center of the court if you are playing singles and bending your knees with your body
relaxed and waiting for play. Move your feet by shuffling them or gliding from left to
right and stepping or lunging forward. To move backward, go fast enough that you
get behind the shuttle to hit it hard enough.
Scoring
Simple badminton rules include a scoring system where you play until you score 21
points. Three games constitute a match. A point is scored each time there is a serve
and the side that wins the rally scores the point. You have to win by at least 2 points
unless the game reaches 29 and there is still not a winner. The first side to score 30
points wins. If you win a game you will serve first in the next game.
To begin a singles game of badminton you will serve from the right side of the court.
After the initial serve, the position depends on the server's score. If your score is even,
you serve from the right and if it is odd you serve from the left. In addition, if the
server wins the rally he will continue to serve, and if the receiver wins, the next serve
goes to the receiver.
Doubles
In doubles play, serving goes back and forth between partners. The serving side is the
same as in singles play in terms of even score serves from right and odd score from
left. The serving partner alternates court sides if she continues to score during a rally
and will serve until a rally is lost. When the serve comes back to the team the partner
will serve next.
Badminton Grip
2. Holding the racket wrongly will decrease your stroke’s power and
accuracy. Your shots will be limited and therefore you will not enjoy the game
as much let alone improve.
3. You will need to learn how to change grip quickly during games.
Below are the two basic types of Badminton Grip.
Forehand Grip: Start with racket head in vertical position, Grip racket as if you were
shaking hands with it, Wrap index finger around racket at a 45-degree angle.
Backhand Grip: Start with racket head in vertical position, Place thumb on fat part of
grip in an upward position, Wrap other fingers around grip

Backhand Serve: Stand with feet spread apart and lead foot slightly forward, Pinch
skirt of shuttlecock with thumb and index finger of non-dominant hand at waist height
and extend dominant hand’s arm in front of body, Hold racket in dominant hand with
thumb pointing upward on grip, Turn thumb downward while holding racket, Place
shuttlecock slightly in front of t racket head, Let go of shuttlecock and push racket
head forward using thumb, Make sure racket head is below waist when hitting.

Forehand Drive – Horizontal Hits: Spread feet apart and place lead foot slightly
forward, Use forehand grip, Hold racket in front of body at face level, Hold grip
loosely until striking shuttlecock then grab it tightly (this will cause wrist to snap into
stroke), Always have racket up.
http://www.badminton-information.com/badminton_grip.html
Backhand Drive – Horizontal Hits: Spread feet apart and place lead foot slightly
forward with knees slightly bent, Hold racket in front of body with backhand grip at
face level (“thumb up”), Hold grip loosely until striking shuttlecock then grab it (this
will cause wrist to snap into stroke), Always have racket up.

The attacking clear is a lot lower than the regular defensive clear, and the
purpose of this shot is to throw your opponent off balance, especially when your
opponent is expecting a different shot, such as a dropped shot or a smash. And that's
basically how you hit an attacking or offensive clear.
Defensive Clear
In a singles game, players use the clear more than any other types of shots. A
high defensive clear prevents your opponent from smashing from a good angle. If
your clear sends the shuttle right to your opponent's baseline, it's considered a “good”
defensive clear.

Underarm clear
The underhand clear, also known as a lob, is an effective shot to drive the
opponent into the rear court. It is played from the forecourt to the opponent's rear
court. The underarm clear is a defensive shot and it is generally used to counter a drop
shot.
A drop shot is the name given to the badminton shot that you perform when you are in
the back of your court and you hit the shuttle so it lands in the front part of your
opponent's side (near the net).

Badminton Drive. Badminton Drive shots are shots that cross the net flatly in a
horizontal trajectory. It can be played both on the forehand and backhand.

A forehand smash is an overhead smash that a player hits with all the tempo
downwards. If you are a good baller or know how to throw a ball with a pretty good
pace and angle, then yes, this badminton smash is your technique to win. It's almost
akin to throwing a ball straight.
Application
A. Assess your Skill. Using the following rating scale, I can assess how I performed
the following skills
