Session 3
Positions and displacements
THEORETICAL MATERIAL
- Basic position: The one in which the player waits for the shuttlecock hit by the opponent. In this position, the body will be facing the net, adopting a balanced position with the legs slightly flexed, the feet shoulder-width apart and the right one slightly forward (left for left-handers).
- Defensive position:
- The trunk is slightly more flexed than in the basic position.
- The executing arm will be in a lower position and close to the ground.
- Greater leg flexion.
- Displacements from the center forward.
- Displacements from the center to the sides of the pitch: A step will be made in the lateral direction with the right or left leg depending on where we want to move.
- Displacements from the center to the bottom of the pitch.
