Week: 3-4 of 18 First Semesters

Self-Assessment and Introduction to Badminton

I. OVERVIEW
It is proper to start physical activity with self-assessment and self-testing
activity. Self-testing will determine the readiness of the student to engage in physical
activity. This session will also teach the student/s to be honest in conducting self-
assessment. It also covers the historical development of badminton, needed
equipment to play, fundamental skills needed, and basic rules of the game.

II. OBJECTIVES

After successful completion of this module, students should be able to:

 Recognize their fitness ability through self-testing.
 Enumerate the fundamental skills and basic rules in badminton
 Discuss briefly the historical development of the game
 Appreciate the evolution of badminton equipment

Warm Up, Stretching and Cool down

A good warm up pre-workout is something most people skip, but science says
you should make time for it. If rolling your ankle or tweaking your shoulder isn’t your
goal, stretching your muscles and joints can make a big difference in injury prevention
and sports performance.

Warm –Up

This prepares the body especially the heart and circulatory system for physical
activity or exercise. According to the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM)
warm-up should include a 5-10 minutes of low-intensity large muscle activity like
walking, jogging or running for the first phase a gentle static stretching of the major
large muscle group for the second phase and the third phase is dynamic warm-up. A
stretching warm up is recommended to reduce risk of injury and to enhance
performance.

Stretching

When engaging in any exercise or sport, you must warm up properly to prepare
your body for exercise and avoid injuries. It is just as important to cool down after
practice to help your body recover more quickly. Both warm-up and cool-down
sessions should be combined with stretching exercises to increase muscle suppleness.
Routine Warm-up exercises

A. warm-up for cardio

1. Step forward and backward for 10 sec.
2. Step sideward back and forth for 10 sec.
3. Jogging in place for 30 sec.
4. High knee jog for 10 sec.

B. To stretch safely, do the following static stretching guide

:
Try to hold each stretch for 10 seconds.
Do not bounce while stretching.
Stretch slowly to the point of tension; you should never feel pain.
Focus on your breathing while stretching.
Select stretches that work all major muscle groups

Basic skills (grip and stance) Familiarization

Sessions: ( for week 4 -5 of 18 First Semester)

I - OVERVIEW
Badminton is a racket sport that is played on a court divided by a net five feet
high. The game is played with a shuttlecock. Can be played as singles or doubles. The
object of the game is to hit the shuttlecock over the net so that eventually the opponent
is unable to return the shot.

II - OBJECTIVES

After successful completion of this module, students should be able to:

1. Recognize the different griping and strokes in badminton.
2. Execute with confident the familiarization and ball control exercises.
3. Enumerate the points to remember in fundamental stance and strokes in
badminton
4. Appreciate the skills learned

III - COURSE CONTENT

A. Equipment needed
:
Badminton racket and shuttlecock or similar / improvise materials.

B. Activity 1
:
Always start the session with the routine warm-up that discussed last session.
You have 30 minutes to do the warm-up.

C. Activity 2
:
Basic grip
1. Forehand Grip
 One of the most common styles of grip that your badminton friends or your
parents teach you.
 The bottom 3 fingers hold the racket handle. The thumb and index fingers have
to be relaxed. To control the directions of your shots and to switch grip .(Shots used in
forehand grip* Smash, Drop, Clear, Forehand lift, Forehand net shot and etc*)
2. Backhand Grip
 Thumb laid flat on the side of the handle.
 Before switching to backhand grip. Index finger and thumb has to be relax, to
rotate the racket
 At the point of contact, put some pressure on the thumb to generate power.
 (Shots used in backhand grip* (Backhand clear, backhand drive, backhand lift
and etc.)

Activity 3 – Proper Stance

(Elements of the ready position)

1. You should be ready with a somewhat wide stance: your feet a little more than
shoulder-width apart. You cannot simply stand there, feet together, as though
waiting for a bus!
2. Your weight should be lowered a little, with your knees slightly bent. Your weight
should be shifted forwards a little, so that you areon the balls of your toes.
3. This does not mean that you should be perched uncomfortably on your tiptoes,
leaning forwards so much that you almost fall over! Rather, you need to lean
forwards just enough to take the weight off your heels. Failure to do this will
leave you flat footed.
4. Your right foot should be slightly ahead of your left foot —only about half a foot
length ahead. This position is effective for covering all four corners of the court
LESSON 3 Shuttlecock Control
Week 5-6 of 18 First Semester

OVERVIEW

Strokes and footwork are the two essential skills that the student had to enjoy the
game. In these sessions the student will learn how to hit the shuttlecock properly using
different types of stroke. The student will also train to approach the shuttle to have a
better position in hitting the shuttle.

OBJECTIVES
 After successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
 Recognize how and what type of strokes that they use.
 Execute properly the four types of strokes together with correct footwork.
 Appreciate the skills learned

COURSE CONTENT

A. Equipment needed:
 Badminton racket and shuttlecock or similar / improvise materials.

ACTIVITY 1: Familiarization

DRILL 1: Shuttlecock control

 Walk forward and backward hold your racket using forehand grip
while shuttlecock is in the racket’s head.

 Walk forward and backward, hold your racket using backhand grip
while shuttlecock is in the racket’s head.
DRILL 2: Shuttlecock pickup

 Now try to toss at least 1 meter above your forehead and catch the
shuttlecock in a scooping motion just like you practice.

 Hit the shuttlecock upward using a forehand grip, try to catch using
scooping motion. Do this several times to be more familiarize.

 Hit the shuttlecock upward using a backhand grip, try to catch using
scooping motion. Do this several times to be more familiarize.
