Badminton Tactics and Strategies – Level 5 Sample Unit
Introduction
In Badminton Tactics and Strategies students focus on enhancing their motor skill development, strategic thinking and tactical knowledge. Students work individually and in teams to develop the key concepts that underpin badminton tactics and strategies. Through a series of structured physical activities, students develop badminton tactics and strategies and implement them in the game situation. Students devise and use a variety of creative thinking strategies and graphic organisers to analyse game situations, solve problems and make tactical and strategic decisions.
Suggested duration: 4 – 5 100 minute sessions.
