Hi there! I’m Javier Robles Martín, from the first year of Bachillerato. During this last assessment, we were focusing on sport planification as well as games and sports. In this way, I decided to share with you guys a video I find completely useful whether you are a badminton expert or not. The main purpose of this video is to let us know (or perhaps just refresh) the basic tips and rules of badminton, a sport which is, in my opinion, not always valued as it should be. Without further delay, I want to stand out certain points I personally consider highly important if we want to practice badminton in a suitable manner. First and foremost, we should know what badminton means. Badminton is a racquet sport whose principal aim is to win two sets faster than the opponent. We can play badminton not only as singles (1 vs 1), but also as double (2 vs 2). How do we know we’ve won a set? It is easy; when we’ve scored a minimum of 21 points and are at least 2 points ahead from the opposing team. These points are scored when we get the shuttlecock with our racquet over the net and towards the opponent’s floor. At the time we serve, or in other words, when we start the set, we have to bear in mind we must hit the shuttlecock below the waist. Nevertheless, we are not supposed to do it like this every single time we kick during the match. We have, indeed, several types of shots that could be perfectly used, for instance: - Forehand: It consists of hitting the shuttlecock with same side of the hand. - Backhand: When we hit using the reverse side of the hand. - Slice: This is a little bit more complex, given that we need to hit the shuttlecock laterally sending it the other way. - Touch: We should tap the shuttlecock just over the net. - Smash: By powering the shuttlecock from over our hand. And remember! We aren’t allowed to hit the shuttlecock twice in succession, and we cannot touch the net with the racquet or the body neither. This is basically all. I really hope all these tips have been useful for you! See you the next time!
Hi there! I am Belén Ruiz, one of Javier's classmates. I decided to comment this video because I find badminton very interesting. Before starting, I want to say that I share Javier's opinion about how little valued is this sport. Let's start now. The first thing the man explain is that this game can be played as singles or doubles. he continues explaining that the necessary score to win a set are 21 points, and the player must be 2 points ahead. When a player wins a point, he also wins the next serve. To score a point, the player must get the shuttlecock with his racquet over the net, and it must fall in the opponent's floor. When the players start the game, they must serve from below the waist. There are several shots: - Forehand consists of hitting the shuttlecock with the same side of the hand. - Backhand consists of hitting the shuttlecock with the reverse side of the hand. - A slice consists of hitting the shuttlecock laterally sending it the other way. - Touch consists of tapping the shuttlecock just over the net. - Smash consists of powering the shuttlecock from over your head.
There are several things players cannot do while playing. Some examples are hitting the shuttlecock: outside the area, twice in succession; players cannot touch the net or hit the shuttlecock into the net, among others. If the referee notices any fault, the player will lose points.
Well, this is all. I hope this to be useful for someone. Bye!
