Session 4
The serve THEORETICAL MATERIAL The badminton serve has three different phases: Preparation phase : The player's placement to perform the service will be behind the service line and close to the center line. The feet will be shoulder width apart, with the left foot slightly forward and the weight of the body resting on the right leg (upside down for the left-handed player). Execution phase : It will be carried out with a wide movement of the right arm, so as to describe a downward and forward trajectory. The weight of the body shifts from the back leg to the front one while a rotation of the hips and shoulders in a left direction originates. Recovery phase : The strike will end the complete rotation of the shoulders and hips to the left and the weight of the body shifted to the front leg. The eye will be on the trajectory of the shuttlecock and the reaction of the opponent. PRACTICAL SESSION Session 4 “The serve” Materials : Shuttlecocks, badminton rackets,
