How the Birdie Flies at Oly South
Don’t be surprised to see a birdie flying past you or stuck in the rafters when you step foot in the Oly South gym! The PE classes at Olympia South have been engaged in playing badminton. With many weeks of winter already under our belt, the students are getting ready for the spring thaw so they can again enjoy outdoor recess. In the mean time, participating in a variety of indoor sports like badminton helps students have a new found enjoyment with being indoors for PE.
The students have been taught the rules of badminton along with how to perform the moves correctly. The students have been working on the proper serve, as well as the forehand and backhand motions. They also have learned about special shots, like the “smash” and “drop” shots.
Learning the rules of badminton now will hopefully provide a life long love of the sport. .
