First badminton session

Today we had our first badminton session with Kevin first we had our warm up game it was called stuck in the mud, but it was a different version of stuck in the mud, if you get tagged you someone has to clap between there legs and tap their hand to set them free.

We learnt two skills they were called the back hand grip and the front hand grip. The first skill we learnt was the front hand grip, what you have to do is hold the racket in the hand you don’t write with then you put your dominate hand/the hand you write with then you have to let go of the racket with the hand you don’t write with, then you have to turn the racket anti clockwise. The back hand grip you have to hold the racket in you dominate hand/hand you write with then turn the racket clockwise.

I got better at hitting the shuttle multiple times my high score was 21 my lowest score 10. We learnt some trick shots, the first trick was to hit the shuttle then hit the shuttle with the racket behind your back. It was quite hard but once I kept practising i got better at it, my friends kept falling down when they tried to hit the shuttle with the racket behind their back. The second trick was to hit the shuttle and then put the racket in between their legs and hit the shuttle, this time I fall down.

Before we had to leave Kevin told us that we were doing a competition, the competition was to keep the ball in the air for as long as possible, the winners were Matthew, Jayden, Lukah. They were the three finalists and Matthew won, Lukah was the first one to make the shuttle drop on the ground.
