Badminton with a pro.

Every Friday like always we have have been doing badminton with a professional badminton player, she has been teaching us a lot of what the other pros do, which is difficult.
Even though it may look easy to you when it comes to do it, let me tell you it is so hard I don’t think three weeks is enough practice.
When we got to the hall the teacher told us to sit on the floor and then after we sat down she told us to listen because we are going to do a task. She told the girls first to grab a rackets and then grab a shuttle. Afterwards we started doing the trick shot that she does and then she told us to try that as well, we saw how many times we could hit the shuttle into the air.
Later when Lauren said "shuttles" (that meant we have to hold our shuttles than move to where we could see her and watch what she does). we had to practise stopping and listening. Lauren told us to grab a buddy and hit the shuttle back and forth to each other and see how many time we could hit it. After when she said "shuttle"she told us to see if we could hit the shuttle three times and then hit it under our legs then hit it three times again and hit it around our waist.
Finally it got to my favourite part where she said to split up into half the court and we hit the shuttle back and forth to each other. We only hit it once and then we had to run to the back of the line. If you missed it you would have to put your racket down on the floor but it had to be in the center of the room. When it was time we had to get five shuttles and we had to get it in the rubbish bin. Afterwards we paired up in a circle and saw who could get the most of their shuttles in the rubbish bin.
Now that I’ve had the experience with a pro to play badminton it has been great playing and also being with all my class mates. Would you like to play if you went to Pt England school?
