Tactical Problem:  Recover to center court after returning an shot

Skill Development:  Defending space, recovery, quick footwork
 
 

Teaching Points Tactic: Hit high and deep clears for more time Hit net shots as close to net as possible for less chance of opponent to return it Skill: Push off outside foot Quickly return to center court Ready position before opponent hits the shuttle Watch opponent as recover (face the net)

Organizational Points In partners get a shuttle each A.  Server hits to back of court, hitter returns it and recovers to center court B.  Server hits a second bird to either front or back, hitter returns it Switch after completing 5-6 sets. Extension: Both partners are working at the same time.  Rally back and forth in a short/short, long/long pattern.
