The Racket Pack is a primary aged Badminton focused Programme designed to deliver fun and engaging skill based sessions, ensuring a positive first experience of Badminton.
The Racket Pack is a 6-week programme, with learning objectives inline with the relevant National Curriculum. The programme is designed to teach children the correct badminton skills, regardless of their current ability.​
The Racket Pack can be delivered within curriculum time, meeting national curriculum requirements, as well as an extracurricular activity, or during the children’s own time. Each session contains a warm-up, skill activity and an activity designed to embed the particular skill on which the lesson focuses.
The Racket Pack has been designed by Badminton England to be delivered in any environment, particularly your typical primary school halls which may not have the space, height or court markings that you would expect in an established sports hall. Sessions have been designed to cater for large numbers in a small space, and so multi-court sports halls are not needed.
How does The Racket Pack Resource work?
The Programme content is broken down into three age groups, providing 6 sessions each:
• Key Stage 1: Years 1&2
• Lower Key Stage 2: Years 3&4
• Upper Key Stage 2: Years 5&6
For each Key Stage, Learning Objectives are tailored and cover typical Primary components of fitness such as..
• Coordination
• Agility
• Racket Skills
• Throwing and catching
• Movement
​
And are met by using the following badminton-based skills:
• Grips
• Movement and Footwork
• Forehand & Backhand Serving
• Underarm & Overhead Hitting
