Game Plan 1 - Make a plan on how you will use your teams strengths
1. Description of team formation; state and outline your initial game plan on how you will use your teams strengths (players
role, expectations, analyze the opposite teams play strategy etc.)
For the first week, our team will be focusing on practicing our team
working skills, therefore we will be mainly playing in a Defensive
side-side formation. I will be focusing on the left side of the court, and
my partner would be on the other side. We dont have a lot of
expectations on the first week, but we do hope that we can use this as a
chance to strengthen our serving and rallying skills. At the start of a
match, me and my partner will analyze the opponent teams strategies
first and come up with possible tactics to counterattack. We will be
serving towards the opposite side (represented by the blue arrows), and
using both drive and high serve. During the match, me and my partner
will be responsible for hitting the shuttlecocks in our own side of the
court (represented by the red arrows). However, during emergency or
A B sudden situations me and my partner can both help and hit the
shuttlecock in any location of the court (represented by the purple
arrow), this allows us to have more freedom and chance of hitting the
shuttlecock back, decreasing our chance of losing a point. Our team is
planning to focus on performing clear shots during the first half of the match, because we believe that this will definitely
decrease the opponents ability and their energy level, therefore we can gain a advantage in the second half of the match.
Summarize your teams performance, design and outline a (better) game plan for next weeks lesson. (Did your team give
their best while playing? Suggest possible changes for a better team formation and team strategy. State and outline two team
tactics/formations/strategies to be applied in the next game.)
Overall I do believe that our team did a pretty good job during each match with other classmates, although it was our first
week practicing double badminton but still I think me and my partner cooperated pretty well. We started off this week with a
defensive formation to try and grasp what its like during a double badminton match but also we feel like its the best
formation for warming up. Since it was the first week, I and my partner didnt push ourselves to our limits yet, although we
did try our best to practice how double badminton works and basically were trying to adapt this new formation style. Now
that weve practiced a few times of how double badminton works and we feel like were ready to try something new,
therefore next week well try to play in an offensive formation. Well try to practice being more offensive and engaging,
therefore well try to perform more clear and smash shots to try and gain more points and as a result, develop our attack skills.
Although well be changing to an offensive formation, we will still maintain developing our team working skills further since
we believe that its crucial in a double badminton game.
1. State, describe and outline a new / improved /revised game plan based on last weeks performance.
From the experience that we got last week, our team will be focusing on
practicing our attacking skills but at the same time continue to strengthen
our team working skills, therefore we will be mainly playing in an
Offensive front-back formation. I will be focusing on the back of the
court, and my partner would be in the front of the court, but this
formation could change anytime during a match (represented by the
purple arrow). Since weve now warmed up and practiced the basic skills
for double badminton, we will expect ourselves to be able to switch
between the offensive and defensive formation anytime during a match.
Also we would want to maintain our serving skills, as usual we will be in
charge of serving in our own respective side of the court (represented by
B
the blue arrow). At the start of the match, me and my partner will try to
stay in the defensive formation for 2-3 serves to try and analyze the
opponent teams strategies first and come up with possible tactics to
A counterattack, then we will switch back to a offensive formation of the
rest of the match. During the match, we will now be responsible for
returning the shuttlecocks based on where it seems to land, if its in the front of the court my partner is responsible
(represented by the green arrows), and Im responsible for the back of the court (represented by the red arrows). Therefore,
this week my partner will be practicing returning drive and drop shots from the opponent, and I will be practicing returning
the smash and clear shots from the opponent. However, during emergency or sudden situations me and my partner can both
help and hit the shuttlecock in any location of the court, which this allows us to have more freedom and chance of hitting the
shuttlecock back, decreasing our chance of losing a point. Our team is planning to focus on performing clear shots during the
first half of the match, because we believe that this will definitely decrease the opponents ability and their energy level,
therefore we can gain an advantage in the second half of the match.
Summarize your teams performance, construct and outline the final (and the best!) game plan to be used
in your final assessment.
Overall I believe that our team really did improve a lot from the experience of the matches with other classmates earlier last
week. I think that our overall performance, especially our offensive skills have improved a lot throughout these weeks. Last
week we focused on building up our team working skills, and weve continued working on our team working skills this week,
as a result we feel like weve definitely cooperated much efficient and better this time and much fewer mistakes performed.
Our final game plan would be focusing on making use of both our defensive and offensive formation skills that weve been
practicing the past 2 weeks, on the first half of the match well be in a defensive formation and well be switching to an
offensive formation on the other half. Same as before, for both formations my partner will be focusing on the front areas of
the court (mainly receiving drive shots) and Ill be focusing on the back areas of the court (mainly receiving smash and clear
shots). Although same as the past few weeks, our plan is that anyone of us could help out in all areas of the court during
emergency situations in order to minimize as few point lost as possible. For the serving, mainly I will be the person whos
going to start the match, but anyone of us could serve according to the specific score were on at that moment. Both of us will
perform different types of serves in intervals, and well try to confuse our opponent on the type of serve that well be
performing and thats one of our tactics. Another tactic that our team will focus on is that when we perform smash shots,
well aim at areas that our opponent members are further away from or requires more reaction time for them to return, which
allows us to score points easier. We hope that this game plan based on the experience from last 2 weeks would be successful.
Game plan 2 Make a plan on how you will exploit your opponents weaknesses
1. Describe, state and outline an initial game plan on how you will exploit your opponents weaknesses.
*Remarks: A=Herman
B=Edmond
For this alternative game plan that aims to exploit our opponents
weakness, from our experience the last 2 weeks we believe that
most of the opponents weakness is their in-consistency of shots.
We analyzed their performance and weaknesses, and we believe
that a defensive formation would be the best to counter their
weakness. From the various matches that weve played with
different opponent, we believe that most of them lose points
because of their mistakes when they perform smash and drive
shots. As a result, we plan to aim at leading them to making these
mistakes. To do this we try to perform more clear shots
(represented by the red arrows) and drive shots (represented by the
blue arrows), which usually everyones reaction is to either return
A B by performing smash or drive shots, which sometimes they might
encounter their mistakes and we can gain points through this tactic.
However, we understand that this tactic might not always work,
therefore we plan to stand in a front and back position when we
perform this tactic. In this formation we could easily return the shots that the opponent performs in case they dont
make any mistakes, which is an alternative plan during emergency.
Summarize your teams performance, design and outline a (better) game plan for next weeks lesson. Suggest
possible changes for a better team formation and team strategy. State and outline two team tactics / formations /
strategies to be applied in the next game/lesson.)
Overall our team really did encounter and exploited some of our opponents weaknesses throughout the matches
that we did with various teams. I think that our teams performance really did improve a lot throughout the past
few weeks, and certainly, it has improved from our revised game plan. Now during matches, I and my partner
cooperate very efficiently and there are far fewer mistakes or communication errors compared to the past few
weeks. This week we tried our new game plan in which we used both the offensive and defensive formation
throughout the match. We followed our game plan and we switched from the first half in a defensive formation
into an offensive formation in the second half, however that didnt work too well. We decided to change this in
our future game plan, in which we will reverse the order of our formation. From the matches we see that our
opponents tend to attack and engage more often in the second half of the match, meaning that it would not be a
good idea to be in an offensive formation in the second half. Also next time, we will be introducing a tactic to
attack our opponent quickly. To do this, we will sometimes switch to an offensive formation throughout the match
(mostly when we believe that the opponent is tired or distracted), then we will try our best to find chances to
perform smashes towards the corners of the opponents court area. Same as before, we will still maintain
developing our team working skills further since we believe that its crucial in a double badminton game.
1. State, describe and outline a new/ improved/revised game plan based on last weeks performance.
*Remarks: A=Herman
B=Edmond
From the experience that weve learned from last weeks matches with
other classmates, weve now decided that we shouldnt have a fixed plan
on what time we should be using which formation, instead now we can
change our formation anytime during a match. We analyzed their
performance and weaknesses, and we believe that still many teams are
lack in their consistency of shots, especially when performing smash and
drive shots. As a result, weve decided to follow mostly the tactics of our
last weeks game plan, in which we plan to aim at leading them to
making these mistakes. To do this we try to perform more clear shots
(represented by the red arrows) and drive shots (represented by the blue
arrows), which usually everyones reaction is to either return by
performing smash or drive shots, which sometimes they might encounter
A B their mistakes and we can gain points through this tactic. However, we
understand that this tactic might not always work, therefore we plan to
stand in a front and back position when we perform this tactic. In this
formation we could easily return the shots that the opponent performs in
case they dont make any mistakes, which is an alternative plan during emergency. Moreover, since we believe that its
crucial to perform some attack during a match in-order to gain points and put pressure on our opponent, therefore well
sometimes engage attacks by performing multiple smash shots towards the corner area of the opponents court (represented
by the green arrows).

much slower in the late games.
Summarize your teams performance, construct and outline the final (and the best!) game plan to be used in your final
assessment.
Overall our team really did a great job in dealing with some of the strong opponents that weve faced during the matches
using our game plan. Our game plan focused on more of a balanced idea in which weve decided to incorporate the offensive
and defensive formation together and switch between when needed instead of having a time frame of when to switch. I think
that this idea really worked well and has certainly boosted our performance throughout the matches, therefore we believe that
this should definitely be maintained for our final assessment. Also from our revised game plan, weve decided to make use of
a new tactic which aims to attack the opponent quickly and to not let them predict when well be attacking. From the actual
experience of using this tactic during the matches, we believe that it worked realty well although we think that we should
keep this tactic in the second half of the match to increase the chance of succeeding since some opponents may have
consumed a lot of their energy. This tactic will definitely stay for our final assessment. Furthermore, for serving me and my
partner both could be responsible for serving, however for the final assessment weve decided that we should be responsible
for performing different types of serves throughout the game. I and my partner will change the types of serve that each of us
is responsible for throughout the game, I will be focusing on performing high and flick serves and my partner will be
focusing on performing drive and low serves. We hope that this last and most revised game plan would be successful in our
final assessment.
