REFLECTION PAPER: BADMINTON

Last Wednesday, I watched the Junior High School playing

badminton which is single and double elimination. Upon watching the
game, I enjoyed it. When the game started, I learned the rules of
badminton. What I observed was you had to hit the shuttle over the net.
In the double elimination you need to choose carefully your partner. It
was a key factor which would also help to improve your skills. At the
start of the unit, sometimes we would try hit the shuttle at the same time.
Sometimes we would just wait for the other to hit it. There are different
techniques on how to hit the shuttle like overheads shots, the forehead
and backhand drive, the drop shot and the smash. I understand the
concept of using space. After hitting a shot, you should always return to
the middle so there is less distance you have to run to hit the next return.
When hitting the shuttle, you should always try to hit it far so the
opponent struggles to get to it and hit it. Example of that is the junior
high school playing last Wednesday, his opponent is at the back of the
court so, he tried to drop shot which makes them run to net. I learned
that when people are side by side, that is a defensive position. When one
person is at the front and one at the back it is offensive.
