Students will develop this to explain components of fitness related to badminton.  Students will refine badminton specific skills such as footwork, hand eye co-ordination, reaction time and agility. Students will learn and develop  new skills such as shuffling, lunging etc and when/where to implement these. Students will implement these skills into a competitive environment.
