The shuttle dropped out of my hands as I let it go to serve to my partner on the other side of me. All of a sudden all we heard was "Shuttle!" That was Laureen's way of getting all of our attention.
Thursday the 4th of August Room 22 was the first class to go to the hall and play Badminton. It was really cool because we learnt how to use a badminton racket and a shuttlecock. And the lady that coached us was Laureen form the Auckland badminton Club.
The first activity that Laureen told us to do was to do with how to control the shuttlecock. And the racket we all started off with was a long one but that was hard so I changed to a shorter one. And it was allot easier we had to throw the shuttlecock up into the air and try hit it up and down but hitting it softly.
It was cool when a lady named Laureen showed us heaps of different tricks. And she got a partner Charm and he had to hit the shuttlecock from under his legs. And if he could do that he had to close his eyes to see if he could hit the shuttlecock when Laureen said “ GO “ then he had to count to 3 and then hit the ball from under his leg. And try to see if he could do it.
One of the activities we learnt was how to control the shuttlecock. The point of the game was who could hit the most shuttlecocks into the bin using aim and concentration. It was really cool because I got a shuttlecock into the bin and made my side of the team get points. And guess what our team WON against the other side.
It was cool going to play badminton with Laureen. I really enjoyed it and I so can’t wait until our next session.
