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.
For further information see the Teaching, learning and assessment activities section.
Assessment
This unit provides opportunities for students to demonstrate achievement of elements of Level 5
standards in Health and Physical Education and Thinking Processes.
Students are assessed on their ability to:
• develop strategic thinking and tactical knowledge to improve individual and team
performance
• apply creative thinking strategies to explore possibilities and generate multiple options
• complete activities focusing on problem solving and decision making which involve an
increasing number of variables and solutions.
For further information see the Assessment section.

Teaching, Learning and Assessment Activities
This unit provides students with the opportunity to develop appropriate badminton strategies and
tactics and then implement them within the game situation.
Students are also required to use creative strategies and thinking tools to explore possibilities and
complete problem solving activities. They will reflect upon changes that occur in their ideas,
badminton performance and evaluate their use of thinking tools and strategies.
Prior learning - Health and Physical Education
Prior to undertaking this task students should have developed a basic understanding of the
knowledge and motor skills required to participate in badminton including:
• confident application of motor skills; specifically serving, forehand strokes (underhand and
overhead clear, drop shot and smash), net strokes and some backhand strokes
• basic footwork and court positioning
• current badminton rules and scoring
• safety considerations.
Prior learning - Thinking Processes
Prior to undertaking this task student should have developed:
• the ability to implement and evaluate the effectiveness of various creative strategies,
thinking processes and tools (for example, questioning, brainstorming, mind mapping)
• the ability to use information collected to develop concepts, solve problems or inform
decision making.
The activities include:
• Activity 1: Badminton – What do I know and what to learn?
• Activity 2: Badminton – What are the tactics and strategies?
• Activity 3: Warm up – Shuttle runs
• Activity 4: Developing a doubles service strategy

Activity 2: Badminton – What are the tactics and strategies?
Activities
Supporting the activities
Show students a video or
actual game of badminton
doubles (5-10 minutes). Ask
students to observe tactics and
strategies employed by
participants.
Suitable footage can be found
on Youtube by doing a search
on badminton.
Facilitate a discussion relating
to tactics and strategies used
in the footage.
Possible questions to promote
discussion:
• Where did players hit
the shuttle?
• What types of stroke did
they use?
• What position on the
court did they adopt?
• How did they vary their
strokes?
• Why are tactics and
strategies important to a
players’ performance?
Assessment
For more information about
tactics and strategies see –
Badminton strategies and
tactics (see Unit resources
page 18).
As a class ask the students to
identify some simple
badminton tactics and
strategies they could use to
improve both personal and
team performance.
Use an appropriate
brainstorming tool to record
possible ideas.
Depending on time constraints,
teachers could model or
students could develop their
own thinking tool to assist with
brainstorming and recording
tactics and strategies.
Suggested brainstorming
activities include:
• Sunshine wheel.
• Mind map.
• Making a list.
More information about
brainstorming activities can be
found in the Teaching and
learning resource.

Guide students to decide on
several basic badminton
strategies that they will focus
on to improve their badminton
performance.
Encourage students to explain
when and how the strategy or
tactic would be effective.
Suggested strategies include:
• Attacking and defensive
positioning during
service and game play.
• Varying the use of
strokes, also known as
‘mixing shots up’.
• Varying placement of
strokes to look for gaps
in opposition side and
front of court.
• Returning to base, also
known as recovering
from a movement.
Activity 3: Warm up – Shuttle runs
Activities
Supporting the activities
Provide students with one or
more shuttle runs to complete
as a warm up.
Shuttle runs should focus on
revision of court markings,
promoting use of space and
returning to base / recovery
position.
Assessment
Possible questions to
encourage students to think
about the above:
• Identify the court
markings for a doubles
game?
• How can effective
footwork lead to
improvements in your
performance?
Student resource – Shuttle run
(see Unit resources page 22).

Activity 4: Developing a doubles service strategy
Activities
Supporting the activities
Ask two students to
demonstrate on court where
they would stand to serve.
Use student demonstration to
explain both attacking and
defensive formations as service
strategy.
Assessment
In doubles play, the tactic is to
serve low so that the serving
side would not be placed in a
defensive position. The server
positions themselves in the
front mid-court area and their
partner shall then cover the
back court. This is known as
the Attacking formation. If
using the flick serve to prevent
your opponent from rushing to
the net, then it is advised to
take up the side by side
position, known as the
Defensive formation.
Ask students to practise each
serving strategy.
Students are to provide each
other with feedback relating to
the effectiveness of service,
depth and angle.
Students focus on service
strategy and aim for targets.
Set up targets on the court.
Ensure the placement of
targets encourages students to
vary the angle and depth of
their serve.
Students play a minor game.
Ask students to reflect on their
thinking in their research log.
Assume doubles position on
the court. Each player has the
service for 5 points despite
winning or losing a rally. After 5
points have been played the
service rotates to the next
player, and so on. Focus of
play is on the serve and not
game play.
Teacher observation of
students‘ ability to
appropriately apply double
service strategy during the
game situation could be used
to assess Health and Physical
Education – Movement and
physical activity. See
Assessment rubric (see
Assessment page 13).

Activity 5: Attacking and defensive positioning during play
Activities
Supporting the activities
Select students to play some
demonstration points.
It is important to explain to
students that it is important to
change position throughout the
point.
Assessment
The defensive formation should
be used when the shuttle is
lifted down the opposition end.
The attacking formation should
be used when the team
appears to be in control. That is
when hitting the shuttle down
using a push, smash or drop
shot.
Revise with students the
current scoring system.
In pairs students play a series
of 5 minute doubles games.
After each game, all players
rotate one court to the right.
This means that all students
will change courts, however
one pair on each end will rotate
to the other side of the same
court.
Each court should focus on
their serving strategy and when
to use an attacking or
defensive positioning.
Teacher observation of
students‘ ability to
appropriately apply attacking
and defensive positioning
during the game situation
could be used to assess
Health and Physical Education

Activity 6: Minor game – Rob the nest
Activities
Supporting the activities
Ask students to consider the
importance of developing an
effective team strategy.

Activity 7: Badminton circuit
Activities
Supporting the activities
Provide students with
Badminton circuit student
activity sheet.
Student activity sheet:
Badminton Circuit (see Unit
resources page 25).
In groups of 4 or 5, ask
students to complete the
practical activities that focus on
developing their strategic
knowledge and tactical
awareness.
One group is allocated to each
court. Allocate equal time to
each activity.
Provide students with the
opportunity to reflect and
evaluate their performance and
consider areas of
improvement.
Explain and demonstrate each
activity before commencing the
circuit. You may wish to make
diagrams to place next to each
court as a reminder.
Assessment
Teacher observation of student
performance during the circuit
can be used to assess Health

Activity 8: Selecting an appropriate tactic or strategy
Activities
Supporting the activities
Ask students to consider
appropriate strategies and
corresponding tactics.
Sample answers to introductory
questions:
1. With a drop shot.
2. Defensive formation / sideby-side.
3. Mixing up the shots and
faking out the opposition by
speed of the swing and
direction of the eyes and
body/hips.
Possible questions to consider:
1. How do you attack the front
part of the opposition’s court?
2. What position works best for
you to defend the opposition’s
shots?
3. How do you keep the
opposition from knowing where
you are going to hit the shuttle?
4. How do you select the right
stroke or strategy for a given
situation?
Assessment
Many options exist however

Students compare their
responses with one other
person and complete the
questions. You may wish to
assign pairs or students may
choose their own partner.
At the end of the activity,
students reflect on thinking
processes and the application
of tactics and strategies in the
game situation.
Visual learners may benefit
from demonstrating the
scenario on a badminton court.
Remind students to consider a
range of thinking strategies that
would assist in generating
multiple options.
Similarly you may encourage
students to generate their own
graphic organiser or relevant
questions as this is an
important component of
achieving an assessment
‘beyond the standard’ for Level
5 in Thinking Processes.

Provide students with the peer
assessment criteria to use in
evaluating effective
implementation of tactics and
strategies to improve
performance.
Explain to students that you will
also be using this time to
observe their motor skills and
the implementation of their
tactics and strategies. As
such, they are responsible for
the organisation, umpiring and
scoring of the tournament. A
student will be designated
timer to ensure all games are
played to time.
Peer assessment criteria (see
Unit resources page 31)
Note:
This assessment focuses on
peer evaluation and it relies on
students objectively assessing
one another while displaying a
sense of respect for the
individual.

Assessment
The Victorian Essential Learning Standards support a combination of assessment practices:
• Assessment of learning (summative)
• Assessment for learning (formative)
• Assessment as learning (formative).
The assessment tasks in this unit focus on collection of evidence of student learning for summative
purposes. Some components could also be used to support assessment for learning and
assessment as learning.
Assessment guide
When assessing student achievement, assessment criteria can be developed from relevant
standards and associated tasks or activities. The table below shows the assessment criteria
related to the assessment task/s and relevant standards and the expected evidence to be used as
the basis for assessment.
The table can also be used to assist teachers to make judgments about whether students are
working at the standard (achieved the standard), progressing towards the standard (have not met
expectations of the standard) or progressing beyond the standard (have exceeded expectations of
the standard) for specific assessment criteria. It is provided as a guide only and may be adapted or
modified to suit particular classrooms and/or students reporting.

Rob the nest
Teacher Information
Aim:
•
•
For students to gather three shuttles (one at a time) and place them in their nest
For students to develop strategies and tactics to improve their individual and team
performance
Grouping:
You may wish to divide the class in half and have two games running at a time. Each game
requires four teams of approximately 3-4 members.
Instructions:
Using half a badminton court, one team makes a nest in each corner. A racquet placed on the floor
could be used as a nest. Place 8 shuttles in the middle of the court. Players line up behind their
nest facing the middle. On “Go”, one player at a time runs out and collects a shuttle to bring back
to their nest. They must tag the next runner before they can leave. The aim is to bring 3 shuttles
back to their nest to win the game. Players may also choose to take shuttles from the middle or
from other nests.

Badminton strategies and tactics
Some ideas to support teacher knowledge
Singles Badminton Strategies
One simple badminton strategy often used in singles is to serve long and high to your opponent's
back court. This will force your opponent to move back to the baseline and open up his forecourt.
Throw in some disguised low serves occasionally and you might just catch your opponent off
guard and win a point outright.
Nowadays in professional men's singles, you seldom see them use the long serve. This is because
the professional players are extremely athletic and possess great techniques. They can jump really
high and smash powerfully even from the baseline.
It all depends who you are playing with. If the high serve turns out to be your opponent’s favourite
and puts you under pressure, use the low serve.
Always try to hit the shuttle away from your opponent and make your opponent move around the
court. One exception to this rule is that when you encounter a tall opponent, you might want to
smash straight to his body to gain an advantage.
Observe your opponent's strength, weakness, favourite shots and pattern of play. Use it to your
advantage.
Your aim is to make your opponent play a weak return, such as a weak backhand shot from the
back court. If your plan works and forces a mistake or a poor return which you can make a 'kill',
use it again. If it is not working then have the courage to make changes. The key is to be flexible.
If you are in a difficult situation in the game and your opponent is not, you need to make time for
yourself to get back to a favourable position. Do this by hitting the shuttle high towards the back of
the court, preferably near the middle of the baseline. Your opponent will find it difficult to catch you
out with acute angled returns from there.
Remember always to get back to your base position in the midcourt area after making each
shot. This is a position where you can possibly reach any of your opponent's shots.
Doubles Badminton Strategies
In doubles play, the tactic is to serve low so that the serving side would not be placed in a
defensive position. If you are serving low, take position on the front and part of the midcourt area
immediately. Your partner shall then cover the back court. This is known as the Attacking
Formation (Front-Back).

Badminton Round Robin
Teacher Support Information
This round robin format is a guide only and may need to be modified to suit your class size and
lesson duration. This round robin requires an 80 -100 minute lesson.
This round robin tournament is based on 6 students per court. Each student will play a minimum of
four, ten minute games. Each player will observe another player twice and will be observed twice.

Note: Observers are not responsible for umpiring or scoring. The server of each point should call
out the score and all players are responsible for demonstrating good sportspersonship when
umpiring.
Scoring
You may use a table such as the one below to record game scores, however it is the performance
that is considered important and not the result of the game.
The following points will be allocated to each person:
• Win = 2 points
• Draw = 1 point
• Loss = 0 points

Peer Evaluation and Assessment Criteria
Ideally, you would facilitate the class formulating a set of criteria that assesses the effectiveness of
a strategy or tactic during a game situation. Similarly the production of a peer assessment sheet
would be most effective if developed by the students themselves.
A sample peer assessment sheet is attached for you to consider. The assessment You may use
the below sample as a starting point.
This assessment sheet focuses on the use of a tick and rating system to assess tactical play
during the game situation.
Badminton tactics and strategies – Victorian Essential Learning Standards – Level 5 Sample Unit
© VCAA 2009
Page 19
Student instructions are as follows:
During each of the 15 points, place a tick in the appropriate box each time the player being
observed effectively uses a stroke or strategy. If the stroke or strategy is ineffective, then the
observer places a cross in the box. At the conclusion of the game tally the ticks and crosses. The
use of the tick and total sheet provides you with simple way to assess play. There is space for any
comments you wish to record. Based on your observations you are then required to select the
appropriate standard that reflects the player’s performance in this task. Finally complete the
assessment summary questions.

Final Reflection:
Which tactics and strategies were you able to implement most consistently during the unit? Provide
some examples of situations where this occurred.
In which tactics and strategies do you require further improvement in the future? How might you
achieve improvements in these areas?
Can you suggest other sporting situations where the tactics and strategies may apply?
Identify the thinking tools (eg: KWLH organiser) that you used during the badminton unit.
How effective were each of the tools in organising your thinking and ideas?
How did they change your thinking?
How did they assist you in making decisions about which badminton strategies and tactics to
implement?
The best thing I learned during this unit was……

Shuttle Run Diagrams
Divide class evenly into 8 groups (if you have three courts, use 6 teams and so on). During each
run it is important that students carry their racquets and face the net, therefore causing forwards,
backwards, sideways movements. (X denotes team members)
Court run 1
When first member touches the
net, the next can commence run.
Court Run 3
Each student should have three
shuttles. Two team members
can run at a time.
Court run 2
Each student requires three
shuttles. Place one shuttle out at
a time.
Create your own
Create your own your shuttle run
to reflect court movements used
in a game.

Robbing the nest
Aim: For students to gather as many shuttles as possible and place them in their nest
Think Pair Share
Think of a strategy
What strategy could your group use to improve their performance in this
game?
Share your strategy with a partner
Share your strategy with one other member of your group. Select one
strategy to suggest to the whole group. Why did you select this strategy?
Share one of the pair’s ideas with the group
Group selects one strategy to use in the game situation. Why did you
select this strategy?
Use your strategy in the game situation
Reflection on strategy
How effective was the strategy in improving your team’s performance?
If you had to do this again, what would you do differently? Why?

Reflection on process
How effective was this process in allowing you to come up with the ‘best’
group strategy?
How effective was this process in allowing you to share your ideas?
If you had to come up with a group strategy in the future, what would you
do differently?

4 players on court
Commence rally with a high serve. Players hit 6
consecutive underhand or overhead clears (forehand or
backhand) and then include a drop shot.
Variation: Commence with a serve. Players hit 6
consecutive underhand or overhead clears (forehand or
backhand) and then include a smash.

from
movement
X = Feeder
Feeder hits 4 shuttles to each player. Each shuttle is hit
to a different area on the court. In between returning
each shuttle, the receiver must return to the centre of the
court. Player then picks up shuttles and returns them to
feeder.
Court 3
Vary
placement
of strokes
X = Feeder
Feeder hits 4 shuttles to the midcourt where receiver
uses any stroke to hit shuttle to a target. Each stroke
must be hit to a different target. Player then picks up
shuttles and returns them to feeder. Variation: Feeder
may call out a set pattern of targets to aim for.

Half Court Singles: Divide court into half and play
singles. Server will need to serve within the same half.
Players aim to first score 5 points and then rotate
players.
Court 5
Students form pairs and play doubles. During play each
pair must actively try to vary their strokes and use
correct positioning at all times. Players aim to first
score 5 points and then rotate players.

Case study analysis – Badminton tactics and strategies
Teacher Information
Sample: Use the following graphic organiser to assist with organising your thinking as you consider
a range of possible options (shots, tactics and strategies), in order to make an informed decision.
The following tool is commonly known as P.O.O.C.H. (VCAA, 2008), it has been adapted to suit
decision making in badminton.
Problem
You serve
the shuttle
low and
toward the
side line.
Your
opposition
returns the
shuttle with
a forehand
underhand
clear over
the head of
your
partner.
They move
into an
attacking
position.
Assuming
you can get
to the
shuttle,
what are
your
options?
Options
Consider possible
strokes or
strategies. You
may wish to
brainstorm to
generate multiple
options.
Hit drop shot
over net into
forehand court
Outcomes
CHoice
What is your
final
decision?
Why did you
select this
option over
other ideas?
Consider the positive and
negative outcomes of this
option?
How might the opposition
respond?
Too slow to get shuttle
Hit shuttle upward, so we can smash shuttle
for winner
Risky shot, may hit net and lose point
Backhand clear
to backhand
court over head
of player near
net.
Forces them to swap sides, may cause
confusion.
A high deep shot will give us extra time to
assume defensive formation
Opens up the forehand sideline of our court,
must cover it
Backhand clear
to backhand
court over head
of player near
net.
Risky shot, would need to clear front player.
If effective, they would find it hard to catch us
out with acute angled returns
Gives them lots of time to intercept and hit a
winner. We need to assume defensive
position.

I chose to hit
a backhand
clear to the
head of the
net player.
It is a shot
that I am
good at and
by hitting it
deep, it gives
us more time
to swap
positions and
assume
defensive
positioning –
side by side.
My partner
must cover
the forehand
sideline as it
will be open.
The drop shot
is not one of
my strengths
and therefore
it was not
selected. I did
not choose
the backhand
clear to the
middle of the
baseline
because it
could have
been
intercepted

Compare your decision with one other member of the class
Do you agree or disagree with regard to the appropriate response to the serve?
What were the similarities and differences in your responses?
Discuss how your opposition might counter your tactical challenge?
Based on your discussion, would you make the same decision next time? Why
/why not?
Extension activity:
Devise your own case study scenario, including court positioning and strokes played. You may
use the P.O.O.C.H. graphic organiser to decide your best strategic option or you may develop your
own tool to organise your thinking.
What is your scenario?

Reflection on thinking processes:
Describe the benefits of using a graphic organiser in making your decision?
Consider alternative ways in which you could organise your ideas / options. How could you
improve this process when making decisions in the future?
Reflection on tactics and strategies:
How does the choice of an appropriate tactic or strategy impact on your performance?

Badminton Peer Assessment
Date:
Student observer:
Player being observed:
During each of the 15 points, place a tick in the appropriate box each time the player being
observed effectively uses a stroke or strategy. If the stroke or strategy is ineffective, then the
observer places a cross in the box. At the conclusion of the game tally the ticks and crosses. The
use of the tick and total sheet provides you with simple way to assess play. There is space for any
comments you wish to record. Based on your observations you are then required to select the
appropriate standard that reflects the player’s performance in this task. Finally complete the
assessment summary questions.
