Badminton Week

1On Monday, Coach Calder wheeled a cart into the gymnasium. It held a pile of rackets and a bucket of small white birdies. "This week, we are learning badminton," she announced.

2Maeve picked a green racket, and Bodhi became her partner. Coach Calder showed the class how to serve underhand. "Hit the birdie gently, and keep your eyes on it," she said.

3Maeve swung hard and missed. She swung a second time and missed again. "Focus," Bodhi told her. "Watch the birdie all the way to your racket." Maeve took a deep breath and kept her eyes on the birdie. This time, she tapped it gently over the net.

4By Thursday, the partners could keep a long rally going. They counted out loud with every hit. Then Bodhi tried a fast overhead swing, and the birdie sailed right past Maeve.

5"Fantastic shot!" Maeve said with a laugh. "It is important to remember that you are my partner, not my opponent!" On Friday, the class finished the week with a celebration game.
