Badminton - Week 4

Badminton today was really fun because we got to play a rally using a backhand grip. 

This week for Badminton Kevin our badminton tutor taught us where and how to hold the racket when were going to do the backhand technique. First in order to do the backhand, your thumb has to face yourself and the rest of the fingers needs to be around the racket's handle and that's how you hold a racket if you are going to do a backhand grip.

To play a rally we had to find a partner and I decided to go with Tai. First Mrs Anderson and Kevin show us how to do a rally using backhand. We were told that one person needs to do a forehand and the other needs to do the backhand.

Tai said he wanted to do the forehand since it is easy for him and I wanted to do the backhand because I wanted to be able to do the backhand easily. Tai and I played really well and we managed to get 20. Unfortunately I couldn't beat my high score with Miki becuase before me and Miki got 34. Next time I am going to beat this high score.
However I had lots of fun and I really enjoyed Badminton.

Kiwi Sport - Badminton

Today we had badminton. Badminton is our kiwi sport for this term. Our tutor for badminton was Kevin.I learnt how to juggle a shuttlecock using the rackets, forehand, backhand and some trick shots, for example hitting the shuttlecock while swinging the racket under leg. But before we got on with our lesson. We did a warm up game called "Octopus". Then we were told to find a partner because we were going to have a rally and we had to see how long we could keep on passing/hitting the shuttlecock to our partner. My partner was Miki. It was a bit tough for me and Miki because the we both we hitting the shuttlecock different direction. however, we both managed to hit it even though it was a different direction. Our high score was 34. I think we did really well. Next time my goal is 36+.
