Organizational Points In pairs one feed while the other practices 10 forehand then 10 backhand net shots Each pair needs 3-5 shuttles Simplifications: Have them practice the motion of lunging while presenting the racquet without hitting a shuttle Extensions: Move back to center line after every net shot and alternate forehand and backhand shots
