Students Learning Badminton

Pikes Peak Prep students in grades K-9, learned much about the game of badminton.

K – Third grades
This group completed a very successful badminton unit. Students used balloons in place of shuttlecocks and this worked out extremely well as the balloons slowed down the shuttle so they were easier to hit for the younger group.

Fourth - Sixth grades
These students completed the badminton unit. They used shuttlecocks most of the time and learned about proper clothing, footwear and rackets. Students learned badminton terms and rally scoring to 21 points.

Seventh - Ninth grades

Seventh grade participated in the badminton unit and did quite well playing 21 point games against each other.
Ninth grade finished a 2 week badminton unit. Students just started a tennis unit today and we are hopeful to get them up to Memorial Park where we can use the tennis courts, like last year. Last year tennis was the favorite sport.
