This can make use of an existing outline of a badminton field's lines, or be created with cones.This serves 3 purposes:
  • Passing
  • Moving to receive the ball
  • Defense
  • You will need 3 pairs of players.
  • Two pairs on opposite ends of the delimited area trying to pass the ball to each other, and one pair in the middle intercepting. 
  • The pairs on each end, can not pass to their partner, they have to pass to the other pair at the other side of the court. 
  • They can not pass the centre point. 
  • The defending pair will either try to touch the person with the ball, or to intercept the pass.
  • Once the defending team succeeds in one of these, then they swap. 
  • If the pass is out of bounds, they also swap.
