4 Activities for Overhead Smash
Baseline Smash
The students will be in partners still on opposite sides of the net from each other.
The student with the shuttle will volley the shuttle over the net. Once they do that they
must run back and touch the baseline and then run up to the shuttle and perform an
overhead smash into a target on the opposite side of the net. The student’s partner must
volley the shuttle over to the student so that they can successfully smash the shuttle. Do
this drill 5 times each and then trade roles. Students should work on control, form (TA
form) and consistency. This drill should be performed for 3 minutes so that each student
gets a good amount of reps.
Modifications: Student must hit a target when using their overhead smash. Different
distance to run.
Equipment: One racket per person, One shuttle per group
Time: 3 minutes.

Badminton Four Square
Students will be in teams of two for this game. Each game will have 4 teams (8
students total). The nets need to be set-up to make an X with for equal squares and all
nets should be hooked to center pole. One team will start with the shuttle and can serve
to any other team or square. That team must return the shuttle but they may return it to
any team or square. There are no restrictions on what square you must hit the shuttle too.
Every team is only allowed one hit to get the shuttle over the net and to someone else’s
square. If a team misplays a shuttle and the shuttle ends up out of bounds, the last team
to hit the shuttle successfully will start the serve.
Modifications: Squares can be numbered 1-4 and square #1 will always start the serve.
If a team misplays a shuttle they will go to square 4. Can also play with more
than one shuttle or one player on each court.
Equipment: 4 nets, one racket for each student (8 rackets), one shuttle per set of 4
squares.
Time: 5 min
Serving Challenge
Students will work in pairs or group of three and four. Each group will be on one
side of the net standing on the baseline. The other side of the net will have different size
targets set up on the court. Each target will be worth different amounts of points
depending on the size of the target. The teams will work together to score the most
amounts of points by hitting the targets. Each group will have 20 shuttles to score the
most possible points. Each student needs to serve the same amount of shuttles. The
students will need to focus on using correct serving (TA) form. If the serve does not
meet the critical points the serve will not count.
Modifications: See how many points can be scored in a minute. Different amount of
shuttles. Different size targets. Where the student stands while serving.
Equipment: One net per group, one racket per person, 20 shuttles per group.
Time: 5 min.
