Around the World - Outcome A (7-9)-10

Organize the students in partners and ensure that every student has a badminton racquet. One partner is "A", and the other is "B".

Have all the "A" students line up behind the baseline of one side of the court. All the "B" students line up on the opposite side. There should be one student at the end of each baseline.

How to Play

• The first "A" player in line serves the shuttle to a "B" player on the opposite side.
• As "B" is returning the shuttle with a clear, the first "A" player runs under the net at the far right side to join the "B" players.
• When the first "B" player returns the shuttle, that "B" player runs to the right of the court and under the net to join the "A" side.
• If any player misses the shuttle or fails to clear the shuttle, he or she goes to the next court and starts a new round of the game.
  

The object of the game is to remain on the first court for as long as possible and to be one of the two remaining players practicing clears. This game never ends, as students move onto the next court when they miss a shot on the previous court.

Students can return to the first court once they have reached the last court. Or, tell the students that once they reach the third court there are no more "outs". Instead they continue to practice on the final court until the teacher calls the time limit.

As they become more proficient, students can perform smashes, drives, and net shots as well as clears.

As a continuation of the game, all players can return to the original court and play a timed round.

These are clues that you have reached the outcomes ...

Students refine and practice their clear shots.

The clears are high and deep enough, indicating that the drill is working as intended.
