Tactical Focus(es) and Skills:
Setting up for attack
|
 |
Players face each other on opposite sides of the line. |
|
One player hits balloon with a racquet (e.g., badminton racquet) across the line to the other player. |
|
Play continues until balloon hits the ground in bounds and point is scored. |
|
 |
 |
|
Cross-legged Balloonminton: Players sit cross legged on the floor and hit balloon back and forth, without lifting off the floor. Define a small playing surface with ability-appropriate sidelines. |
|
Doubles Badminton: Two players per side. Play with a net at badminton-level height. Increase number of players per side. Can be played cooperatively (e.g. continuous rally) or competitively (e.g. balloon hits the ground). |

|
How can you increase your chances of scoring? |
|
Try and vary the shots by aiming for the front, sides, and back of the court. |
|
Try to avoid high shots which set up your opponent for a smash shot. |
|
|
 |
|
Players can use a "self hit" before sending it back over the net. A self-hit allows the player to hit it up in the air first before sending it back over the net |
|
Players can hit the balloon multiple times. |
|
The balloon can touch the ground once before it is hit. |
|
Use large, bright coloured balloons. |
