Skill/tactic Teaching coaching points

Dribbling and footwork

Bounce waist high Use finger tips to push ball downKeep head upBend knees

Jump stop – bounce ball, catch with 2 hands and land on both feet 1-2 stop – bounce ball catch with both hands and take 2 stepsPivot – jump stop = either foot, 1-2 stop = back footPivot – nail through big toe, cant move off/over ground, only round like the hand of a clock from the centreDOUBLE DRIBBLE RULE

Drill/Practice Organisation/set up

Paired dribbling (truck and trailer and ball out)

1. In pairs, one dribbles, one follows in a given area marked with cones. Listen for whistle (1 = jump stop, 2 = 1-2 stop) give ball to partner and swap roles

2. Ball out – everyone with a ball, have to dribble and knock other peoples ball out – CONTACT RULE! Make area smaller as people drop out.

WEEK 1


Passing:BounceOver head/javelinChest

CHESTHands behind ball, in front of chestExtend arms and pass ball with short sharp movement to players chest, step into pass

BOUNCEHands behind ball out in frontStep into pass and extend arms towards floorAim to bounce 2/3 of way to player

JAVELINBall in one handWeight on back footTransfer weight forward and snap elbow/wrist through ball

OVERHEADStart with ball at head height in both handsSnap wrists and fingersShort and sharp to same height at other player


Paired work and 3 man weave

In pairs, practice individual passes across court, feeding back on accuracy and speed of pass, players stand on cones 5m apart.

Teams of 3, ball starts in middle, first pass left, follow ball and round to half way, then pass across right, follow ball and down to the edge of the 3 point line, pass across the half way line man who then runs off to end line, pass across to man outside 3 point line, who then passes under the basket to final player coming in.

TRAVELLING RULE

WEEK 2


Shooting – set shot

B – body towards basketE – eyes fixed on back of basketE – elbow at 90degrees level to shoulderF – follow through by flicking wrist for backspin

RULE - 3 second key violation


Rebound shooting In pairs, A and B, A lines up in front of basket, B to the side, a steps up and shoots, b rebounds the ball. A joins the rebound line and B hands ball back to next shooter and joins shooting line

Swap the lines, rebound in front of the basket, shoot from the side

WEEK 3


Shooting - Lay up Receive the ball from a pass/dribble into 2 handsRH - Land on right foot, step onto left and jump off left foot to basketLH - Land on left foot, step onto right and jump off right foot to basketIn at 45degrees to basketShoot ball above headKiss onto backboard – top corner of small square

Rebound shooting 1 foot off bench, partner rebounds1 step lay up, partner rebounds2 step lay up, partner reboundsBounce lay up, partner reboundsDribble lay up, partner rebounds3 point line lay up with dribble, partner reboundsHalf way sprint lay up, partner rebounds

WEEK 4


Rebounding and blocking

BLOCKINGGet between opponent and basket as shot is takenWatch opponentPivot into line of playerKeep wide stance

REBOUNDINGA jump to gather the ball from a missed shotTiming is crucialWatch ball and jump off 2 feet Lift arms high towards ballPull back into you ready to play on


Rebound catching

TGFU

Line up in front of basketFirst person throws ball up to side of netSecond jumps and in mid air catches the ball and returns to back board,

next person repeats and so onIn games, ensure every ball is challenged for and if ball is won, a free throw

is awarded as an incentive to rebound

WEEK 5


Defence – man to man (full and half court)

Man-to-man is what it says, one man marks anotherYou follow your opposite player wherever they go.Used half court and full courtCLOSE (SMELL CHEWING GUM), 1 HAND HIGH, 1 LOW, BENT KNEES, HEAD UP


Zig zag lines

TGFU

Stay with your partner wherever they go, defender must stay between ball and basket

Use different forms of defence in game situations

WEEK 6


Zone defence You guard the man who is in your zone (a specific area of the court which you mark). If he leaves your zone then you pass him on to somebody else’s zone. The three basic types of zone defense:1-3-12-1-21-2-2 2-3High levels of communication needed


Move with the ball

TGFU

Wherever the ball goes, the defence moves with it and sets us accordingly Use zone defence in a game to defend the basket

WEEK 7


Fast break Push the ball up court before the defense has a chance to set up Get the ball to the middle of the court as gives options either sideUse one player who pushes forward towards half way to break away

Review of a performanceWhat to look for:- Number of passes completed - How many interceptions made- Number of turnovers conceded- Total number of successful shots (1 point, 2

point, 3 point goals scored)- Total number of unsuccessful shots- Number of fouls committed- What else...your ideas please...

Analyse the PerformanceCompile a check list of what you have observed on the previous slide

e.g.

• Did the team use a variety of passes? YES / NO• If so, which ones? _________________• Was dribbling executed effectively and under control YES / NO

by the team?• Was the correct shooting technique executed by players? YES / NO• Number of successful 3 point shots? ______• Number of successful 2 point shots? ______• Number of successful 1 point shots/free throws? ______• Did the team loose possession of the ball? YES / NO• If yes, how many times? ______• Were rules applied correctly throughout the match? YES / NO• Number of violations occurred? ______• Was respect shown to the referee/umpire at all times? YES / NO • Did players communicate effectively for the ball? YES / NO• Did the team work together in order to develop the play? YES / NO• Did players show knowledge of health and safety? YES / NO

Review the performance• Note down:Areas of strengthAreas for improvement

This comes from the analysis part - what the team did well and what the team need to improve.

Improvement ProcessThis is the “how to improve” part.• Set short term goals e.g. Use a wider variety of

passes to move the ball. This can be put into practise immediately

• Set long term goals e.g. Improve aerobic fitness. This is a specific thing to work on over a period of time in order to improve fitness for games

Potential things to work on/improve

• Individual skills – shooting/dribbling/rebounding• Tactics and teamwork - fast break, boxing in,

creating space for the ball• Devise training programmes to aid improvement

over a course of sessions/weeks• Use of technology - video recording of games, use

of data analysis• Courses - to improve own knowledge of game• Where to seek help and advice – NGB or coaches

Drill/Practice Organisation/set upIn pairs check each others grip

Check partners grip

Partner serves shuttle to either side then player has to return over thenet using the correct shot – focus on correct grip –forehand/backhand

WEEK 1

WEEK 1On balls of feet - ready to move and meet shuttleMovement types - shuffle, step, lunge, glide, skipBend knees, feet shoulder width apart, head over hips over feet, ready to move from centre courtNormal step, 1/ step, extension of non/racket leg to shuttle

Cone calling Set out a number of cones round centre of the court - number or colour themOn command, player has to lunge/strike to the cone from the centre and get back to the centre of the court Return to ready position and await next callWork on quick foot work - short and sharp movements for speed and use over long periods of time to increase fitness

Footwork

WEEK 2Serving (High)

High serve - forehand underarm Relax body and bend knees slightly Lead with non-racket leg and place your racket leg behind Bring your racket back to shoulder level then swing it forward following the rhythm of the stroke Hold the shuttle by the feathers and let it drop slightly in front of you. Hit it with the flat face of your racket and follow through until your racket reaches the non-racket side of your head.

Hit the cones/ land the shuttle

Use cones to mark area on court and practice serving the shuttle using a specific serve. Aim to land the shuttle with accuracy, concentrate on flight of shuttle. Add a player – aim to catch the shuttle, if catches it they get a point, if you beat them you get one

WEEK 2Serving (Low)

Low serve – forehand Relax body and bend knees slightly Lead with your non-racket leg and place your racket leg behind Bring your racket back to your waist level then start your forward swing Hold the shuttle by the feathers and bring it closer to meet the racket instead of dropping it in front Contact the shuttle at a higher point but still below your waist line Push the shuttle with the racket face and try to make the shuttle skim the tape of the net



WEEK 2Serving (Low) Low serve – backhand

Stand in a comfortable and balanced position with racket hand in front Lead with racket leg and place non-racket leg behind, feet point towards your opponent Carry out a short back swing then bring the racket forward Hold the shuttle at waist level Push the shuttle with the racket face and try to make the shuttle skim the tape of the net Try to shorten the grip for a better control of the racket



Clear (over head)

Turn body sideways to net with non-racket shoulder facing net. Shift weight onto rear foot. Bend elbow and lock your wrist preparing to swing forward. Raise non-racket hand and point at the shuttle to improve timing and balance. Contact the shuttle as high as possible in front of body throwing your racket high and forward through the air. Straighten elbow as you hit the shuttle. Let wrist unlock with a whip action as you hit the shuttle. Follow through racket and shifting weight from your rear to front foot. Move back to your ready

Partner serves shuttle to mid court Step to under shuttle, strike and clear Return to base position ready to move again

Step and strike

WEEK 3

Drop shot - slow and fast

Adopt the forehand grip. Turn body sideways with non-racket shoulder facing the net. Shift weight on to your rear foot. Bend elbow and lock wrist preparing to swing forward. Raise non-racket hand and point at shuttle Contact the shuttle as high as possible out in front of your body. Straighten your elbow as you hit the shuttle. Slice or tap the shuttle as you hit it, reducing the speed of the racket head. The angle of the racket face will determine the direction of your shot. Follow through with your racket and shift your weight from your rear foot to your front foot.

Partner serves shuttle to mid court Step to under shuttle, strike and drop just over the net Return to base position ready to move again

Serve and drop

WEEK 4

Stand sideways to the net, non-racket shoulder facing the net. Weight on to your rear foot. Bend your elbow and lock your wrist Raise non-racket hand and point at the shuttle to improve timing and balance. Contact shuttle as high as possible in front of body using a strong throwing action Straighten elbow as you hit the shuttle. Snap wrist giving extra power and angle down towards court. Follow through with racket shifting weight from rear to front foot. Move back to your ready position.

Smash

Partner serves shuttle high over the net Player steps into position and smashes shuttle, aiming to hit cone on floor away from player

Serve and smash

WEEK 5

Net play - lift Adopt correct grip (fore/back hand) for shot Extend/put racket up when you go for the shot. The point of impact shall be well out in front and as high as possible with racket leg leading in a lunge position. Swing racket upwards as the shuttle drops in the hitting area. Unlock your wrist as you contact shuttle, producing a whip action. Follow through with racket in the direction of the shuttle's trajectory. Push with both legs and move back to base position.

Partner work

WEEK 6

Partner A serves shuttle just over the netPartner B lunges in, plays shot and then returns to ready position to go againRepeat 6 times then swap

Net play - kill Adopt correct grip (fore/back hand) for shot Keep racket in front of body. Lunge forward aggressively with racket leg. Extend racket arm and keep the racket high to ensure the shuttle is hit as early as possible over the net. Use wrist with little or no racket arm movement to tap shuttle down Lunge movement/parallel racket face will cause shuttle to tumble over net. Push back to your base position ensuring racket is still up

Partner work

WEEK 6

Partner A serves shuttle just over the netPartner B lunges in, plays shot and then returns to ready position to go againRepeat 6 times then swap

High Serve (forehand) moves opponent as far back in court as possible, thus opening up their court. Low Serve (fore/backhand) gets opponent to lift the shuttle and puts them under pressure. Used in singles if your opponent's attack is too strong.

Serving tactics

TGFU Using a game situation, start the game with a specific serve getting your opponent into a weaker position on court from the start.This will give the advantage to the serving player in order to score the point from the serve.

WEEK 7

Movement pressure

Force opponent to cover distance rapidly and change direction creating situations where they will reach the shuttle late and have difficulty playing an effective shot. Once they play a weak shot, you have the choice between pushing them even farther out of position, or attempting to win the rally immediately.

TGFU You play a clear. Your opponent is forced to move into the rearcourt.Your opponent plays a drop shot.You play a net shot. Your opponent is forced to move into the forecourt.You play a smash or drive

WEEK 8

Hitting to thecorners

By playing shots to the corners, you maximise the distance your opponent must cover. This is a matter of simple geometry, ie they have to move over a further distance in order to play a returning shot.

TGFU You can choose to play a lift towards the middle line, or towards a corner. Calculate the distances, from the centre of the court to the back line:3.35 m if you lift to the middle4.23 m if you lift to a corner

So the distance to the corner is 26% farther than the distance to the middle line, giving your opponent more distance in to cover.

WEEK 8

Rules - Singles A game starts with a coin toss. Whoever wins the toss gets to decide whether they would serve or

receive first OR what side of the court they want to be on. The side losing the toss shall then exercise the remaining choice.

At no time during the game should the player touch the net, with his racquet or body.

The shuttlecock should not be carried on or come to rest on the racquet.

A player should not reach over the net to hit the shuttlecock.A serve must carry cross court (diagonally) to be valid.During the serve, a player should not touch any of the lines of the court, until the server strikes

the shuttlecock. During the serve the shuttlecock should always be hit from below the waist.

A point is added to a player's score as and when he wins a rally.

A player wins a rally when he strikes the shuttlecock and it touches the floor of the opponent's side of the court or when the opponent commits a fault. The most common type of fault is when a player fails to hit the shuttlecock over the net or it lands outside the boundary of the court.

Each side can strike the shuttlecock only once before it passes over the net. Once hit, a player can't strike the shuttlecock in a new movement or shot.

The shuttlecock hitting the ceiling is counted as a fault.

Regulations Court (playing surface)Singles court 17 ft. x 44 ft. (skinny and long) The net shall be 5 ft. high at the center

EquipmentShuttles - made of a rounded cork base covered with either leather or plastic, with 16 overlapping goose feathers embedded into the cork. Modern racquets are made of ultra-strong titanium, which gives the racquet strength, but makes it extremely lightweight.

Skill Analysis – back hand serve (Low)

Look at these 2 pictures of a low backhand serve…

Use your coaching points from week 2 and compare them…

Firstly on their own (V the coaching points for their technique), then compare them together…

Which one is technically better?Which one has a better head position?Which one has a better foot position?Which one is more stable and ready to hit the shuttle?Which one has the correct grip?

Think of your own questions to ask…

Game analysis

Watch this game…

Use your coaching diary to list the skills, technique’s and tactics the players use…concentrate on 1 player ONLY

What shots do they play?How do they serve?Do they adhere to the regulations correctly?Do they apply the correct rules?How many faults does the player commit?What data can you obtain? E.g. points scoredHow will you record this information? Tick list, smile faces sheet, data table?

Think of your own questions to ask…

Identification of Strengths and weaknesses

• Having observed the game…• You now need to make a list of the strengths

of the performer and weaknesses of the performer…

• It is the weaknesses which you will work on in order to improve the players performance

What and How to improve upon weaknesses

• Skills – serving, clearing, net shots, back court shots, footwork

• Tactics and teamwork –hitting to corners, using a clear to open space and smash,

• Devise training programmes to aid improvement over a course of sessions/weeks

• Use of technology - video recording of games, use of data analysis

• Courses - to improve own knowledge of game• Where to seek help and advice – NGB or coaches

Improvement ProcessThis is the “how to improve” part.• Set short term goals e.g. Work on footwork,

be on the balls of your feet more and return to ready position after you have played your shot

• Set long term goals e.g. Improve aerobic fitness. This is a specific thing to work on over a period of time in order to improve fitness for games
