Badminton Unit Plan

Indicators and Outcomes

8.4 Utilize, including smooth transitions, complex movement skills that combine locomotor
(traveling) skills, non-locomotor (non-traveling) skills, and manipulative (moving objects)
skills (e.g., lay-up in basketball, spike in volleyball, hoop dancing, dribbling to a shot in soccer,
rhythmical gymnastics movement, gathering a grounder and throwing to a base in softball,
stick handling to a shot in floor hockey, ball control while moving in double ball) to enhance
personal performance and enjoyment in a variety of movement activities.
(a) Demonstrate the ability to repeatedly perform a skill at game appropriate speed
without hesitation.

(d) Perform a variety of game specific complex skills (e.g., drop shot return of a short
serve in badminton) at a level of automation while practising and participating in game
situations.

(e) Perform a variety of combinations of movement skills that reflect smooth transitions
between skills (e.g., dance routines, gymnastics sequences, yoga sequences).
8.6 Design and implement, collaboratively, plans to develop the performance concepts and
application of tactics and strategies to enhance individual and team performance, involved in
each of:

 target games (e.g., bowling, curling, archery, golf, bocce ball)

 striking/fielding games (e.g., long ball, softball, slo-pitch, cricket)
 net/wall games (e.g., badminton, tennis, table tennis, volleyball, pickleball)
 invasion/territorial games (e.g., double ball, basketball, soccer, soft lacrosse, touch
football, floor hockey, ultimate frisbee, rugby, team handball)
 low-organizational and inventive games (e.g., walleyball, capture the flag, prisoner's
base, speedball, kick the can, snowsnakes, bombardment).

(a) Discuss and apply the various concepts involved in the different types of games (i.e.,
target games – sending away, wrist action on release of object, starting in aiming
position; striking/fielding – placement of the ball on the field, covering bases, base
running; net/wall – spatial awareness, positioning on court, returning to `base'
position, position of body, trajectory, depth, angles; invasion/territorial – keeping
position, penetration, defensive positioning and movement in passing lanes, support
for ball carrier, locomotion, on-the-ball movement, off-the-ball movement).
8.7 Analyze the situational decisions, of self and others, while under the pressure of game
play in target games, net/wall games, striking/fielding games, invasion/territorial games, and
low-organizational, inventive, and cooperative games to determine the effectiveness of the
decisions and to propose options for improvement.
(a) Discuss and practise options for strategic choices to use in specific game situations,
whether real or created (e.g., what shot to call in a particular curling situation, what
team offensive play to use against a one-on-one defence in basketball).

(b) Identify and assess the tactical decisions of others, both individuals and teams,
through observing performance (including the use of available technology such as
video).

(c) Practise providing positive critiques of the application of tactical and strategic
decisions on the performance of others using pre-communicated self-created and
class-created specific criteria (e.g., type of serve return used for short serves in
badminton, positioning of players on the field based on where the opponents are
located on the bases in slo-pitch, when to try to free a prisoner in prisoner's base,
when to play with the feet as opposed to the hands in speed ball ).

(d) Express insights into personal tactical and strategic choices used in game situations to
judge the effectiveness of the choices and to propose options to enhance future
choices.
