Description Of Activity
The court is split into 4 squares using a net or pylons.
There are 4 pairs/teams playing at the same time.
Teams enter the game from the number 4 square and aim to make it to square number 1.
The team in square 1 serves the shuttle into another square to begin the game
Teams can hit the shuttle into any of the opposing team's squares.
If the shuttle hits the ground the point is over and the losing team moves to Square 4. The other teams move up a square.
Build icon Builds
Build One: Maintaining A Rally
Teams attempt to maintain a rally by sending the shuttle to the next square (e.g. 1 pass to 2, 2 to 3, 3 to 4, and 4 to 1)
Build Two: Scoring a Point
Players must now try to beat their opponent by having the shuttle land inside their opponent's area.
Build Three: Court Positioning
Players take turns being the active players on the court. Partners wait outside the playing area until their partner has sent the shuttle away. As soon as that happens, partners exchange roles. The partner coming onto the court must quickly position themselves in the middle of their playing area.
